It says it's supposed to be an extra fast tip, but it sure doesn't seem like it to me! Seems more like a regular old fast action, and the power seems a little heavier than advertised too. I had planned on using it for a drop shot rod, but I was anticipating a much lighter faster tip. Just setting this thing up and casting around a dummy weight with it in the basement has me worried that drop shotting might be the wrong application for it.
Now I have to decide if I keep it or stuff it back in the tube and send it back. Such a pain in the rear end. I might just live with it because it sure does feel like an extremely sensitive and well balanced rod... Just kind of stiff.
Has anyone ever tried the Med/Light XF 7 footer? That's probably the one I should have got.
