| explaining test curves of rods  The top-most rod has a tip action (or fast action) which means that the middle and butt sections remain absolutely rigid while the tip bends through the 90 degree curve. The rod in the middle has a tip-to-middle action – the butt section remains rigid while the other two sections bend through 90 degrees as the weight pulls down on the rod. The bottom-most rod has a through action – like most Avon rods. It bends right through the blank as the weight pulls down on the tip.     |
