2. Fishing rod tapers - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fishing_rod_tapers

   The action of a taper is described by the flex of the tip of a rod when pressure is applied perpendicular to the rod. Only a section of the rod starting at the tip of the rod should bend while the remainder of the rod should stay rigid. Variations can be described in three main categories, fast, medium, or slow with variations in between each.

   For example, a rod may be rated 7-8wt. This indicates the rod is designed for either a 7 or 8 weight fly line. There are also some rods rated for wider ranges (e.g. 8-9-10wt). The drawback to multi-rated rods is that compromises in flexibility or action are made in order to accommodate a wider range of line weights.

   In practice, this is misleading, as top-quality rods are very often fast-action rods, bending from tip to butt. While the so-called 'fast-action' rods are stiff rods (with absence of any action) which end in a soft or slow tip section. The construction of a progressive bending, fast action rod is more difficult and more expensive to achieve.

6. Trolling (fishing) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trolling_(fishing)

   For light and medium freshwater gamefishing, any reasonably robust casting or spinning rod can be used as a trolling rod. Effective trolling rods should be fairly stiff with a relatively fast action, since "whippy" slow action rods are frustrating to troll with. [citation needed]

7. Quiver tip - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quiver_tip

   Very sensitive float rods can be used for quiver tip fishing, but normally fishermen have a specialist rod especially for the task. The eyed tip of approximately 1–2 ft (300–610 mm) in length is attached as a detachable extension to the rod end via a put-in or screw-in method. The quiver tip itself is often coupled with a jingle bell to ...
