The manufacturer claims the rod has been tuned for lure fishing, so for what that is worth, the action is medium bend and very smooth, with no discernable stiff spot where the seamless two-piece join connects, and plenty of oomph in the butt section for when the pressure needs to come on
These issues are a thing of the past with sealed drag systems, which are available on Johnny Morris Signature Series fishing reel brand, Extreme spinning reels and the Bass Pro Shops Pro Qualifier spinning reels
