Shimano rods
Shimano takes great care when developing rods and designing the correct actions to suit the intended use. As a general guide, Extra Fast and Fast actions offer more sensitivity and hooking speed, plus the ability to cast further with heavy loading. Moderate Fast and Moderate actions offer more fl exibility and confi dence when playing fi sh as the action absorbs increased pressure smoothly. Moderate actions are also good for casting very light loading as the rod ‘works’ through its length to create tip speed.
