rod tips

[archer379]

just wonder ing if i van get a explnation on rod tips. I the past i have always just bought what ever canadian tire has had in my price range. this year i bought a bps carbon light 7'6" heavey probaly the first somewhat quality rod. So i have been looking and comparing my other rods to this one, i quess i have some more money t spend lol. There are fast, extra fast tips and then there a are soft tips. can someone explain to me the differance between say fast tip and a soft tip? Whe isn't it a slow tip or a hard tip. hope that all makes since as to what i mean.

 

thanks all

From what I've been reading X-fast is more for jigging, fast is for all-around fishing, and slow is generally for livebait rigging.

 

Everyone has their preference though.

 

X-fast being the most sensitive (based on same blank).
