My rods are very similar in length, weight and action but with the addition of the Citica tonight I decided I should setup the rods for certain baits and try to keep them that way.

I originally bought my Cruxis/Castaway combo for Speckled Trout. I had no idea what I was doing and took the advice of the GM employee. The tip is a little fast for my tastes and the handle is a little short but I still like it a lot.

Cruxis 200, 7' Castaway Pro Sport "Light Fast Casting", 20lb PP, Duolock - Crankbaits (Most flexible tip and shortest handle of my rods)

Pinnacle LP100, 7' Silstar "Med-Heavy", 20lb Sufix Hi-Vis Yellow - Buzzbait/Crankbaits (Casts a long ways with 3/8 ounce buzzbaits)

Citica 200D, 7' Castaway "Medium Action Popping", 30lb PP Red - Plastics/Jigs (A little faster tip than Silstar and should cast lighter plastics a little better)

Does a worm rod need to be real stiff if I am using braid for everything?

You might want to switch to mono or co-poly on your Cruixs. Since this is your crankin' rod, this change in line will provide some shock absorption. Especially if you feel the rod already has fast tip; the no-stretch Power Pro could result in a lot of lost fish.

I Google'd for an FAQ on rod blanks and rod terminology because I am not sure if "fast" means limber or stiff. If it means stiff, then my Castaway "Light Fast Casting" is "slow".

Reply #12 in the, Rods "Power and Action" Defined sticky at the top of this category clearly shows actions rated from Fast to Slow. This sticky will answer your questions about power and action. Good luck.
