Awesome! 💪 You're gonna love them! 🔥🔥

Hey SS bruh, If you’re in the CC area holla at me. I have some good info for you. I fished there for years and have some areas to apply the “patterns” to. I’ll holla at you “inside.”

Awesome! 💪

Glad you enjoyed the video!

It’s definitely both. It’s always a combination of factors. A mod-action, extra heavy will set a hook way better than and ultra-light extra fast rod. Those are extremes, but it illustrates that it’s a spectrum with many variables. A rods action only performs as advertised when it’s weighted properly. You can weight a rod with different size lures, fighting different sized fish, or setting a hook harder or softer. A medium-light “extra-fast” will quickly become a slow action rod (or brake) if you’re throwing a 2oz lure.

Thanks for watching the video! 💪

No Worries Bob~ We greatly appreciate the honest thoughts! If it helps people catch fish or make a better informed decision, we are all for it! 💪

Bob, Medium for saltwater generally is to 3/4 oz where my medium heavy saltwater rods are 1oz or even 1.25oz. However fresh water and bass series do have a medium heavy as 3/4oz a lot of times.

@@zackmorehouse Thanks for the clarification. The ONE manufacturer I had in mind when I made the comment regarding the MH comparison was 13 Fishing. Their Fate Green Inshore rod in MH is only rated for a max of 3/4 oz. I have several of their freshwater rods and have had a good experience with them so I was considering their inshore rod as an option when I purchased the TFO Professional.

Is medium fast sloppy like an ugly stick ultra light

@@waylonlegend4603 The TFO Professional series Medium Power / Moderate-Fast Action rod is anything but sloppy. It's not exactly what I would describe as 'crisp' but it never feels out of control. The Moderate-Fast Action allows the top +/-30% of the rod to bend but it takes a fair amount of force or weight for the rod to bend due to the Medium Power rating (1/4-3/4 oz. lure weight / 6-12 lb. line weight). I have no personal experience with Ugly Stick UL rods but I'd imagine that the Action would be Moderate, where the rod bends down to +/-50%, and that the lure/line ratings would be in the 1/32-3/16 oz. & 2-6 lb. range. I've had plenty of UL spinning rods by other manufacturer's and would agree that the combination of UL Power and Moderate Action will make the rod have a very parabolic bend when reeling anything larger than a small panfish and some even feel 'sloppy' when casting light lures. A more direct comparison to the Ugly Stick UL would probably be the TFO Trout-Panfish series, I have the 6'-6" UL. It is labeled as a UL Power / Fast Action and it fishes that way... it has a 'crisp' casting action and makes catching a Bull Bluegill as much fun as catching a Bull Redfish (on appropriately sized tackle). Probably more info than you wanted but that's how I roll. 😁Tight Lines!

both are great but if you do a lot of dock fishing, or you fish near heavy structure, it can be easier to cast around some of the structure with the 7' rod. 💪

Yes it could handle that with no problem, but i would say that you could possibly get away with 10# braid and 20#leader as we have pulled in some monster fish with that setup. That will allow you to have further casting distance with the lighter line. 💪

Yeah man. A 7’ medium, fast action rod can handle all of those easily. Might not cast small crappie and blue gill jigs as far but it will work. That’s all I used for years and had success.

Great question! Make sure to ask this over in the Community (www.saltstrong.com/) where the coaches spend their time.

These were the Professional. 💪

We actually have some videos on that! search for wade fishing videos! But in the interim, these are Simms waders without the included boot.

Thanks for watching!

Most of us stick with the Medium power for both of those situations (perhaps even go with a MH for the 20 lb setup if you'll be going after big reds/snook).

Go with the Medium, you want a bit more backbone when live bait fishing with weights.

Thanks bud
