to lace some of your shoes when it comes to plugging know how.

I know a little about plugs, but it's my rod knowledge that is lacking and after looking through some of Vidars links could you tell me what the following means please:

1. "Titanium frame Japanese impregnated high modulus Graphite” - is a frame what the Japanese refer to as a blank? Also, what is modulus graphite?

2. What is a "fast TAPER action" - what does taper refer to? I thought a rod was either slow, meduim, medium fast, fast etc etc?

3. Also, nothing to do with rods, but what does a "quarry" refer to when talking about fishing?

I'm looking for a freshwater baitcasting rod and points 1 and 2 have come up a few times.

Thanks in advance.

Titanium frame i always thought refured [spelling] to the rings

Impregnated high modulus graphite referes to the blank material all graphite i believe is modulus the high modulus referes to the amount of carbon in the blank

fast taper action i have always been under the impression that a fast taper rod meant a rod with quite a stiff tip with a fast recovery

quarry is the fish we are after

for a freshwater baitcast rod have a look at the ugly stick's in the 7' or shorter the through action of these will suit a baitcast reel down to the ground

bet i'm wrong on more than one count dai

No Dai, you're at least right (well I think you are!) on the first comment because the full sentence is "Fuji SIC guides and Titanium frame Japanese impregnated high modulus Graphite”

Ahhhh quarry refers to the fish you are targeting or at least hoping to catch.

Hopefully, some other posters will be able to confirm exactly what those phrases are meant to mean, although I think Dai and BJF have probably got it right already.

See part of my brain still works ok when my doctor said i had been left with some scaring he ment temper[i always was quick tempered so not much difference there then] and the ability to concentrate on certain things[again not much difference]
see this won't help anyone
oh my a pointless post by a mod oh dear dai
