CHAMP198 My father belonged to a casting club in Forrest Park many years ago and did some trick casting in the Sports show that came to St louis. I learned a lot about casting from him. I agree the rod that the pro used I think delivered with a slower action. I think that is the key to the whole long rod light bait deal. I do not see rods like that much any more everything seems to be fast tip that I see on the shelves. When watching fishing on TV however I do see these guys using these Ducket Rods that are bending from the handle to the tip. There used to be a name for that action and I think it was called Caraboly or something of that sort. I can see in rods like that a rod that is powerful because of its length yet slower and gentler than the whip snappy fast tips. Those kind of rods are a bit harder to cast accurately as I recall. I will say this though if I was a tournament fisherman or really cared about landing every fish I most certainly would want one of those rods. They got to be very hard for a fish to get off of. I got a notion that is why I see them all using them.
