Understanding rod blanks, three components govern!
Power, taper, action .
Power how much weight blank can comfortably handle . Cast. & drop weight varies significantly.
Taper , how blank constructed . Thinner Hvy wall or thicker thinner wall. This reflects how blank will flex & recover .
Action within this taper is where blank is designed to bend under a load .
Power has little to do with action. U can construct almost any blank to exibit any range of actions .
That being said I favor fast action blanks in any power rod I fish.
They require less angler energy to fish in a myriad of situations .
Bucktailing is one since a fast action rod with proper within specific line class will perform very well when bottom fishing .
Many prefer a full parabolic for for tog which is fine since u r primarily fishing shallow .
Those rods will kill u in deeper water where bigger fish r found & never have they been my choice for any big game applications in gts!
