Re: Tog Rod
T hat diagram is not 100% accurate. A true slow rod will bend fur there down the blank. That looks like it's been stretched or modified maybe.
I like slow rods for tog fir the same reasons that Kevin mentions. I also like a composite rod. I have watched too many graphite explode when snagged on a wreck. Using braid with a composite is plenty sensitive enough.
Spiral wrapped rods are excellent for bottom fishing. They have a better fit here than jigging like many use them for.
Many options out there. I like 7'6" myself. It gives me room to find more voids and holes. We have built all kinds but when a customer is asking me to suggest a rod...... composite with a slower taper. Fast tips miss fish for the average fisherman.
