Characteristics of a "deadsticking" rod?

I think I'd prefer a really soft tip, that way you might detect the extra
weight before actually feeling it Moe. My Senko rods have that & a whole
bunch of backbone below it.

What was the action on the rod you saw?

The term "deadsticking" has taken on a new meaning in recent years.
While
Moe thinks of it as casting a bait, letting it sink & sit on the bottom
motionless for an extended period of time, it now apparently includes
fishing baits with built-in action like soft stickbaits (Senkos etc).
Just
a note...

You know I love Senko's and other soft baits Warren, but really, how many
bites
do you "feel". Either the line moves or when you go to pick up there is
weight
or something different. How can tip action make any difference on a bait
you'er
not working?
