Hey guys,

Maybe a stupid question but I was kinda curious as to the difference between a fast action and the medium/slow action rods. I was at turner's today and checking out two exact same models of spinmatic rods, except for the action, and the fast action seemed to be a little more stiff with more backbone while the slow action was more flimsy and noodly like my jigging rod. I always thought it would be the other way around.

Anyways, just curious if it's like that across the board. :D
