Action and Power<br />

Action and power, when used in connection with fishing<br />

rods, are often misused.<br />

Action is, simply put, the way a rod or blank bends. This is described by four different terms:<br />

Extra Fast: Flex in the upper 1/4 of the rod blank.<br />

Fast: Flex in the upper 1/3 of the rod blank.<br />

Moderate: Flex in the upper 1/2 of the rod blank.<br />

Slow: Flex is from the lower 1/3 of the rod blank to the tip.<br />

Power is best described as the amount of energy or force is needed to make a rod blank bend.<br />

<strong>All</strong> <strong>Star</strong> uses the following power rating to rate its rods.<br />
