#11204, "opinions on rod types"
|
Just purchased a calico special heavy action rod, feels as if it is a bit too stiff for my tastes, bites hard to pick up. People think this is just a matter of getting used to or should i go down to a medium action, medium heavy rod? opinions appreciated. thx

i've got the lamiglass version of the calico special and find it suffers from the same problem, its light as hell and not really bad on the sensitive side but stiff! for calicoes i found it was waaay to much rod, as it is i found it harsh on the albies.
if anyone is interested on a serious war stick i'm selling it, used about three times 9 footer with alwr cork grips and trigger reel seat. I Fish...Therefore I Am

Yeah just returned the rod... really too stiff for my tastes and purchased another one of turners brands.. starts with an s, cant remember it but definately more sensitive and has a quicker taper. Hope they didnt trick me, but they would only give me store credit anyhow. Taught me this neat trick on how to tell the sensitivities on the rods though... put the tip of the rod at someone voice box and have them talk normally. Sensitivity on the rod will be shown by how well you feel the vibrations of the persons voice. Sure didnt feel it on the calico special.
