I am just wondering why people refer to soft rods as always being slow, and slow rods always being soft. Soft rods will bend easier, that is, with less force applied. A graphite rod with the same action as and old fiberglass rod will not bend as easily as the fiberglass rod.
I am not saying this applies for all rods, but it is what I have found to be true for the rods I own and have casted, which is not alot compared to the amount out there.

Does anyone know what I am talking about? Maybe Soft and Slow are different words for the same meaning, but I am right about certain materials being able to bend easier like fiberglass, that i know from experimental data.
