I never thought taper & action as one in the same
Taper can be slow or fast
so can action but you can have a slow taper fast action rod or a fast taper slow action rod
Its all about how a rod is maped out not the taper
also has little to do with material you can have a extra fast hard tip glass rod and a slow action soft tip graphite rod
all about how a rod is maped out
you can aslo use the same part of a mandrell and get different action rods
I agree with you on over priced custom rods I went to a builder and he wanted way north of $600 for a seeker
No way do I think a seeker is worth anywere near that no matter how pretty ot looks its still a seeker same goes for calstar phenix on and on
But to say a low quality graphite or glass rod is better than a high quality I dont get
If I were to agree with you I would just buy ulgy sticks for 69
