How do I know what action rod to select and if that action works well with my application?

This is the most confusing aspect of fishing rods among anglers. However, understanding the nuances of rod action and power can be empowering. Everyone has their perception or idea of what their version of a Fast action is supposed to feel like. The same goes for all actions. Trey has removed the confusion by helping you understand the importance of action and power. Instead, use the Main Rod Filter or Help Me Choose rod filter to dial in on a particular rod power with the ideal action. For example, you will only need a Moderate action for thick cover or big baits. For the lightest lures, a fast action is all you need. And for most of your typical lures and structure, a Fast or Moderate-Fast action is ideal. So allow Trey to help you choose the right rod with the right action using his fantastic filtering system. Focus on choosing the right 'Power' rod for the application to get hook penetration and fish-pulling power as required. Remember, rods are not just meant to cast a lure easily or feel the lure only.
