That was some great advice you got from the "un-named" shop. As for actions on So Cal style jig sticks you usually talk about fast or slow. Some sticks are slow and parabolic, they take a while to load and unload. I have cast old Harnells that felt like I was trying to snap a bull whip. When my hands were pointed at the horizon the rod tip was still pointing strait behind me. I felt like I was waiting for the rod to roll over my head and unload the jig. Faster rods cast more like other rods in that they mostly flex and load in the top 1/3 or so. I'll use the seeker ulua as an example of this style. It is a fast, stiff jig stick that I find difficult to load. I can cast it well but it feels different than other sticks I have used. There seams to be a trend away from the super slow rods but both styles cast very well once you get the timing and a repeatable casting rythem down. If you know some one who can let you take some swings with thier rods you can get a feel for what works for you. Mike
