It's not a fast action.

How do you figure? Are we not talking about the same thing?

The bps crankin sticks are a mix of glass and graphite, so even though they are rated as fast action, because of the glass it has a really moderate taper and they are true cranking rods

So you bought a 7'6" Crankin' Stick? If so, then you should be fine. Composite ratings are a bit different than all graphite. As anyone will tell you there is no standard for rating a rod. 

It is possible Mr. Franco was thinking you got an all graphite rod which would be a poor selection for crankbaits with that power and action. However quite often a rod designed for crankbaits will say it has a fast action but that rod will be constructed of  fiberglass or composite. A different animal than an all graphite rod. 

But there are many on here with more knowledge than I. I'm probably wrong. 

EDIT: ok posts were made while I was typing basically saying the same thing.

All my six cranking sticks, from various makers are 100% graphite and range from mod-slow to moderate tapers. If you take a BPS Crankin' Stick and compare the bend, they're on par with a moderate action graphite rod.
