I've got a cortland (fair play) 5/6 weight Ide sell/trade. It's fast action but my son learned on it. If need I got the reel and line that came with it. It's to fast for me hehe I like a softer rod myself.
But my sons second rod is even a faster action....feels like an ancient weapon to me though hehe.
