A recent thread here and one on another site got my little brain ticking a bit, so I thought I'd see what others have to say. Why does it seem that so many people buy a fast action rod only to pair it with a line that will slow it down a bit. Is it just me or is that kinda counterproductive. What I mean is, why not buy and rod that is a bit slower and pair it with a line that weighs what it is rated to weigh, and possibly save a bit of cash on the rod purchase in the process?
