Great job. I have been using a fly rod for about 60 years and didn't understand the difference between fast, medium and slow action rods.
Thanks,

Great video. well done. Too many people just pick up a rod and shake it. What that tells you I don't know. Maybe you can see the bending action. I find if you Put some line on it and pull on the line, then you can get a better idea where the rod will bend.
I kind of forced myself to use a faster rod, it was painful at first, and I had some issues, but over time I felt like my cast got cleaner and distance got better. I think I'd recommend people try a slightly faster rod and grow into it...its helped my fishing a lot. I also fish a lot of streamers so being delicate with presentation isn't the biggest deal.
Thanks,
Frank
