Casting fly fisherman

 

Fly Rod Action

 

The action of a fly rod refers to how much the rod flexes when it is cast. Fast action rods flex near the tip, while slower action rods flex more towards the middle. Faster action rods are better for casting longer distances, while slower action rods are more suitable for close-range casting and delicate presentations.

 

Slow action

 

Slow action fly rods bend throughout the rods length, the fly fisher needs to use a slower casting stroke so that it helps load the rod. Slow action rods work great for delicate presentations, when fly fishing small dry flies on calm waters. Slow action fly rods are a great pick for beginners because it gives the fly fisher more forgiveness while casting.

 

Medium action

 

Medium action fly rods bend toward the upper half of the fly rod and need a moderate casting stroke. These rods are adaptable, they can be used for a lot of different fishing situations, like in small streams to larger rivers.

 

Fast action

 

Fast action fly rods are stiff and bend at the tip of the rod. A fast action rod requires a faster and powerful casting stroke, they are preferred for casting long distances and windy conditions. Fast action rods have greater sensitivity, so the angler can feel even the slightest bites.
