Is it possible to have a high modulas graphite rod with a slower action? It seems like every expensive high modulas rod is very fast. I'm looking for a rod that is very light wieght wise and also has a moderate action. Thanks.

Seems the market wants fast action.

I think the best moderate action stick right now is the St Croix Mega Swimbait. If you are near the show today stop by. I built one that is 8-11 with a syncork split grip. If this stick does not sell today it is mine this year.

Couple years ago Diamondback had an awesome 2 piece that had a moderate action. It was one of the best things about that stick.

Are we forgetting the TM79HM? The tapers are what makes the action.

St. Croix Legend Tournament 7'9" heavy power moderate action. Super high modulas with a moderate action designed for crankbaits but is a really good all purpose rod.
