Also known as “power value” or “rod weight”. Rods slow, medium, fast, or anything in between (e.g. medium-fast). Contrary to how it is often presented, action does not refer to the bending curve. A rod with fast action can as easily have a progressive bending curve (from tip to butt) as a top only bending curve. The action can be influenced by the tapering of a rod, the length and the materials used for the blank.10 Typically a rod which uses a glass fibre composite blank is slower than a rod which uses a carbon fibre composite blank. Action, however, is also often a subjective description of a manufacturer. Very often action is misused to note the bending curve instead of the speed. Some manufacturers list the power value of the rod as its action. A “medium” action bamboo rod may have a faster action than a “fast” fibreglass rod. Action is also subjectively used by anglers, as an angler might compare a given rod as “faster” or “slower” than a different rod.
