Hoping you guys can school me on rod materials and their characteristics. Basically all I know is a "glass" is supposed to be slower in action (more flexible/whip like) and graphite is supposed to be faster in action and more "stiff". I think I know what that means, but my only personal experience is when I had Calstar 100J's (BWC and WC models) they felt very noodle like and "whippy". I also had a custom Seeker Ulua blank built (black blank) that I loved and it was much stiffer (for throwing irons and poppers).
When looking at the new rods, I am totally lost.
There is glass, e-glass, s-glass, fiberglass, carbon, graphite, graphite composite, carbon composite, etc. etc.
What do the various materials equate to as far as characteristics?
