    Default What does the rod action signify?

    I have a question about a couple of fly rods I have acquired; a rather large diameter medium action 8 footer and a sleek lighter weight 8 footer. Both of these rods are rated for #5 and #6 line.

    The question is if they are both rated for the same line, what does the action rating mean?

    Since I have both, I use the heavier rod with sinking line and the lighter rod with DT line.
