    What action rod does everyone like?

    Looking into building a new rod. I mainly do nothing but throw small tied jigs without a float. I know it will be ultralight power, but can't decide between fast action or something else. Would love to hear what every one likes to use the most. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk
