Is a 7 foot rod too long?

A short (6 feet or less) rod is ideal if you want to make short, accurate casts. When pinpoint accuracy is less critical, a long rod (over 7 feet) is the way to go.

What is a medium action spinning rod?

Medium – Medium action rods will bend around the middle point of the rod. They offer a bit better casting ability than a fast or x-fast tip as their increased flex allows the rod to load up more energy facilitating long casts. Medium action rods are a good choice for live bait and smaller artificial lures.

What is a heavy action rod?

An extra fast (or heavy) action rod will bend three to four inches before transferring power to the blank, which is considered quick. A moderate fast (or light action) will bend nearly a third of the way down the rod blank, which is considered slow. Action balances the power of the rod for casting and fighting bass.
