Default Consistancy in labeling...

St Croix rods IMO seem to do a better job of labeling rods than anybody
else.

Believe it or not Bass Pros label is probably second, except they only list
power, and not speed on most of their rods.

I've been pretty disappointed in the accuracy of some of the other high
price rods out there, particularly in their light and medium light rods.
Even a light action rod that is labeled extra fast should not bend 1/2 way
down to the butt before it starts to load up. That's a moderate speed rod,
not a fast speed. Sure the body will bend easier, but their should be a
distinct difference between tip loading and shaft loading, and if its
labeled fast or extra fast it should be noticeable in the first section of
the rod. Geez guys. Get it right.

Don't just throw a lable on a blank to make the sale. With me it will only
happen once I assure you.
