I have a few different rod actions but most are medium to slow which has always been my preference. I REALLY enjoy making the adjustments to the differing lengths and actions.
All of my cane rods are medium to slow. Also, all but a few of my graphite rods are medium as well with a few some might consider slow if you can believe that. I also have a glass rod or two that are so slow that you can smoke a whole cigar between the forward and back-casts http://www.flyanglersonline.com/bb/wink.gif.
I can cast any rod but I don't like fast rods except for big fish in big places. I've always said, there is no such thing FOR ME as a rod that's too slow http://www.flyanglersonline.com/bb/smile.gif.

Hi ou. I know I prefer the slower action - in part because I started with that type of action many years ago, and over the years I have realized that it isn't a speed contest out there. Just relax and enjoy the day. You may not reach every spot - so what? That said, I think if I lived out west with big land and wind I would have to back up a little and reconsider my position. If I ever take up saltwater I will have to go to a faster action, but that is a whole different animal. My fastest rod is a medium fast Scott A2 5wgt, and I like the rod, but given my druthers.... It is such a personal thing. Go with what YOU like, until someone else starts buying your equipment!! LOL

ou I seem to prefer the moderate, or med fast rods!! But I agree with D. Micus, that you can go from moderate actions to a fast action without much trouble. I recently was using a 10wt sage Xi2 which a very fast rod, and had no trouble adjusting.

I'm with Mr. Micus. I worked my way up to
the faster rods and found that I really do
prefer a moderate to slower action in most
of my rods. May have something to do with
the number of birthdays under my belt.*G*
