Extra Fast
Ideal for straight-line casting and jig fishing, extra-fast blanks are ultra-sensitive at the tip for quick transmission of light bites.
Fast
With most of the curve occurring in the upper third of the blank, fast-action rods are the bass angler's choice for fishing soft-plastic worms. A versatile action that lets the angler fish a wide variety of species with just one rod.
Moderate

Slow
A slow-action blank will curve all the way to the butt section, making it the choice for long casts with live baits. Leaving little stress on the line, these blanks allow the angler to use a lighter line for fighting trophy fish.
