Largemouth21 Posted June 25, 2018 Posted June 25, 2018 KASTKING has a medium action in only one of the calamus rods. What do they mean by medium action, I know what medium power is but not action. Is medium power stiffer or less stiff than moderate fast. And why is there only one rod with this option. Very confused @KastKingUSA Quote
Junger Posted June 25, 2018 Posted June 25, 2018 I don't think their Social Media department will have an answer for you. I PM'd the user a question about their Demon Pro rod, here was the response.

Hulkster Posted June 25, 2018 Posted June 25, 2018 they are confusing power and action. power refers to the amount of stress it takes to bend a rod and is expressed as UL, light, medium, MH etc. Action is another word for taper and describes WHERE the rod will bend upon being deflected (extra fast bends right near the tip, fast bends further down, moderate bends almost half the length of the rod etc) that rod is ML power but no idea what the action/taper would be. its an error on their site. 2 Quote
Super User Dwight Hottle Posted June 25, 2018 Super User Posted June 25, 2018 Probably a misprint. Action is listed as x fast, fast, moderate fast, moderate & slow. Quote

Arcs&sparks Posted June 25, 2018 Posted June 25, 2018 It may just be there version of “moderate”? Daiwa has a “regular” action 1 Quote

Daiwa has a “regular” action Perhaps, but on the ordering part of their website it says moderate fast under that same rod so that’s why I was a little confused Quote
Brad in Texas Posted June 25, 2018 Posted June 25, 2018 Yes, I think others have it covered correctly who think that it is a misprint. The rod you have circled is a Medium Light; the other one just below it is a Medium. You can also judge the difference by noting the ratings for each and that the Medium has a higher lure weight top end, a larger line recommendation top end . . . and it weighs more which indicates that it has a generally thicker construct. My "guess" is what they actually mean is a ML with Moderate Fast Action. Brad 1 Quote

Daiwa has a “regular” action Regular is basically a synonym for "moderate fast". I wish they would just use moderate fast for consistency, you know? 1 Quote
Super User smalljaw67 Posted June 27, 2018 Super User Posted June 27, 2018 I saw rods listed as medium action before and I'm not talking power but action. Anytime I see a medium action rod with a different power like medium heavy it is almost always a moderate action but companies that do that typically list a moderate-fast as a medium-fast as well. 1 Quote
