The old ABU catalogues used to have some great graphics showing the various actions of their rods. I still find those sort of simple diagrams very helpful, as replicating those bends in a tackle shop will cause the owner to break into a sweat!
I'm not fit
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.
