One of the hardest parts of selecting a fishing rod is understanding the difference between power and action and how that helps you make your selection.

I just got to say that this is the best power versus action video I've seen on KZfaq. I watched five other videos before this video and each and everyone of them confuse me because the guy would talk about power in action and then throw Comments like "I like a moderate heavy rod as opposed to like a Jig rod" I'm not brand new to bass fishing but I'm brand new to advanced Bass fishing where Rod Weight And length matter. Thank you for making it short and sweet and simple!

So, I'd like to explain because I have doubts as a new bee. the left shows that 3 rods with the same action that have the same bending points, and their lure weight are also different. So what can say about that? because the power and the lure weight are different. On the right side, it is the same power rod, but Johnnie did not explain too much. SO can anyone help?

The power of the rod you will want is dependent on the weight of the lure you will be casting so I cannot determine that for you. Moderate action rods, rods that have more of a parabolic bend. will cast the furthest.

Just when you thought you knew something about fishing someone actually explains shit that matters well I stumbled across this video my fishing predicament I wanna fish larger heavier swimbaits for large mouth bass and maybe pike I currently don't have a dedicated swimbait rod as say a Dobyns 836 which is rated I believe 2-8ozs I do far only fish up to 1.5-2ozs baits at the most I really don't want to use a bait caster rod I'd rather use a spinning gear anyone have a clue what spinning rod I could get that could hold 2-8ozs? If I happen to go with a baitcaster what's a decent size and make to start with I plan on maybe using 20lb floro or braid any advice would be great thanks...
@JohnnieCandle
@JohnnieCandle Жыл бұрын
I cannot suggest a specific rod for you, but I can tell you what I would look for. For swim baits, fast to moderate fast action in heavy power. You are talking musky type lures and may want to look at some rods designed specifically for that. Best of luck to you.

The more moderate a rod, the further toward the handle the rod bends. The faster a rod, the more towards the tip the rod bends.

Why do rod manufacturers label with for example, Okuma says ML Action when ML refers to power, medium light power and not “action”. They usually have no action rating as in fast, moderate, slow etc?
@JohnnieCandle
@JohnnieCandle 6 жыл бұрын
It is very frustrating and something I have personally pointed out many times. You would think that manufacturers would know how to properly describe their own products. Many are coming around. St Croix, Fenwick, G Loomis are some of the better at marking their rods correctly.

Thanks for the reply Johnnie. Great videos. My snarkiness is directed at manufacturers, not you. Maybe I should write this in Chinese. A few St Croix rods are available at Dick's Sporting Goods if anyone wants to check out the "almost" correct labeling that should be on every rod, from cheap rods to expensive. There is absolutely no reason that a manufacturer can't label like this: 1) The overall or physical weight of the rod, example 1lb 6oz, just like all fly rods have, Freekin put it on a scale OK, and label the weight on the dam rod. Manufacturers, this ain't rocket science, OK! 2) The line weight range, example 12lb-30lb etc. Most manu do this. 3) The lure weight range, example .5 oz - 3oz etc. most manu do this. 4) Separate "ACTION" rating into Extra Fast, Fast, Moderate (not to be confused with Medium Power), and Slow. ACTION rating is different than POWER rating.... OK Manufacturers. 5) A "POWER" rating as in Medium Light( ML), light (L), Medium (M), Heavy (H) or Extra Heavy (EH). 6) The length and pieces... 96-2 = 9'6" 2 pieces. 116-3 = 11'6" 3 pieces etc. or similar. 7) LIne weight if fly rod. 796-2 = 7 weight 9'6" 2 piece rod. 8) Finally label Glass, E-Glass, Graphite, Carbon Hybrid whatever....and Model name and Manu. GET RID OF THE PROPRIETARY STUPID HYROGLYPHICS LABELING THAT EVEN AN EXPERIENCED SALESMAN HAS TO GUESS AT. Example 8472-3-HL-3-222 HEAVY ACTION.... ETC ?? WTH? IF THE ROD SAYS "HEAVY ACTION" AND THAT IS IT...DON'T BUY IT. THIS IS MISLABELING. WHAT THIS ACTUALLY MEANS IS HEAVY POWER WITH NO ACTION RATING. SEND A MESSAGE TO SALESMEN AND MANUFACTURERS!!! THANKS
