While at an Orvi$ store yesterday, it occurred to me that they have it "nailed". Their rod flex ratings, full, mid and tip and the distance from the reel seat from which that flex is measured is the clearest (to me) indication of how one should expect the rod to perform. Since I'm not that much into equipment (I can only tell you the color of my rods- maybe?)) I was wondering if other manufacturers use this type of flex/action rating. Seems to me that "fast,slow "etc. is a bit vague and subject to a lot of personal interpretation.
