I'm getting into fishing and it's awesome, as a foreigner, what word is supposed to correspond to what behaviour really isn't obvious but he nailed it here
I’ve been behind the camera and edited all but 3 Pro’s Pointers for Johnnie’s 28 seasons (so far). Power & Action for fishing rods is still my favorite. This is one of the most informative tips ever! It simplifies a sometimes confusing topic.
I just got to say that this is the best power versus action video I've seen on RUclips. I watched five other videos before this video and each and everyone of them confuse me because the guy would talk about power in action and then throw Comments like "I like a moderate heavy rod as opposed to like a Jig rod" I'm not brand new to bass fishing but I'm brand new to advanced Bass fishing where Rod Weight And length matter. Thank you for making it short and sweet and simple!
After looking for explanation for action & power , finally stumbled this video. 2 minutes long but the explanation is long enough to make me understand. Thank you so much
Wow,no "what's up guy's?",no long intro with crap muzak,no hip hop posturing or exaggerated hand gestures,none of that crap.This I like,right to the point.
WOW hahaha I've been watching 10-15min videos explaining the difference between power&action Only got more confused 😢 This dude just made an outstanding explanation in less than 2 minutes. Made it so simple to understand 🙌 Thank you!!
I just got interested to start fishing and I’ve been watching countless videos. Kept hearing these light and medium terms. Fast and very fast and I’ve been soooo confused. This video clearly showed what these terms mean and I thank you for it. Still not sure what I want to get but I at least now know what these terms are clearly.
thank you because i just bought a new carbon lite rod today to pitch and flip with and i'm short so i bought a 7 foot heavy action extra fast tip. I hope that i made the right choice?
@ 0:45, the 3 rods on the right side of your video are all with identical power. But shouldn't the the action be extra fast, fast and moderate from top to bottom?
@@DK77201 I'm no pro what so ever, but it seems from a logical standpoint that it's the reverse order for sure. The most bottom rod seem to start bending earlier than the most top one, making the order said in the video being in reverse order than what's actually the truth..
Which ones are better for the beach Shimano Teramar SE Inshore Spinning Rod TMSF70H 7'0" Heavy Shimano Teramar WC Inshore Rod TMC70MHB 7'0" Medium Heavy Crostage Series Spinning Rod CRXC 76 ML (3881) Major Craft Ugly Stik Elite Spinning Rod 8ft(2.4m) Thank you
So, I'd like to explain because I have doubts as a new bee. the left shows that 3 rods with the same action that have the same bending points, and their lure weight are also different. So what can say about that? because the power and the lure weight are different. On the right side, it is the same power rod, but Johnnie did not explain too much. SO can anyone help?
can you please recommend me rod for saltwater - gulf sea , we dont have ocean like you i have daiwa primarine 2.7 meter i feel its hard doesnt bend easily and it doesnt cast so far, but it can handle shark i think :D i will use cut fish or calamari , no lure no jigging only real cut fish and others i feel i want rod less than 4m but im scared to buy something that bend so much on 10 cm fish :) but if i take hard one doesnt bend then it will not cast far
GREAT VIDEO, I GOT A BOTTOM FISHING ROD HANDED DOWN TO ME WITH ATCO ROLLER GUIDES HOWEVER IT SEEMS TO HAVE LOTS OF BEND FROM THE MIDDLE OF THE ROD TO THE TIP, NOT SURE NOW IF IT CAN BE USED TO BOTTOM FISH AS HOOKING THE HOOK MAY BE AN ISSUE. ANY ADVICE?
Sir i purches uglystick gx2 medium power medium action 7 feet rod for spoon fishing and topwater pencil lure fishing both lures are around 20 gms. Line weight written on rod is 15 lb but i use 40 lb braided line because I target big fish. What is your opinion this rod is good for this purpose or not
can an ultra light rod have fast action and heavy power? or the power is directly linked to the weight of the lure? can I fish an ultra light rod for large fish?
Why do rod manufacturers label with for example, Okuma says ML Action when ML refers to power, medium light power and not “action”. They usually have no action rating as in fast, moderate, slow etc?
It is very frustrating and something I have personally pointed out many times. You would think that manufacturers would know how to properly describe their own products. Many are coming around. St Croix, Fenwick, G Loomis are some of the better at marking their rods correctly.
David M really right that’s why I picked the shimano tiralejo it’s straight to the point and accurate on the rating. 10’6 Medium Moderate action. 1-3’1/2
Thanks for the reply Johnnie. Great videos. My snarkiness is directed at manufacturers, not you. Maybe I should write this in Chinese. A few St Croix rods are available at Dick's Sporting Goods if anyone wants to check out the "almost" correct labeling that should be on every rod, from cheap rods to expensive. There is absolutely no reason that a manufacturer can't label like this: 1) The overall or physical weight of the rod, example 1lb 6oz, just like all fly rods have, Freekin put it on a scale OK, and label the weight on the dam rod. Manufacturers, this ain't rocket science, OK! 2) The line weight range, example 12lb-30lb etc. Most manu do this. 3) The lure weight range, example .5 oz - 3oz etc. most manu do this. 4) Separate "ACTION" rating into Extra Fast, Fast, Moderate (not to be confused with Medium Power), and Slow. ACTION rating is different than POWER rating.... OK Manufacturers. 5) A "POWER" rating as in Medium Light( ML), light (L), Medium (M), Heavy (H) or Extra Heavy (EH). 6) The length and pieces... 96-2 = 9'6" 2 pieces. 116-3 = 11'6" 3 pieces etc. or similar. 7) LIne weight if fly rod. 796-2 = 7 weight 9'6" 2 piece rod. 8) Finally label Glass, E-Glass, Graphite, Carbon Hybrid whatever....and Model name and Manu. GET RID OF THE PROPRIETARY STUPID HYROGLYPHICS LABELING THAT EVEN AN EXPERIENCED SALESMAN HAS TO GUESS AT. Example 8472-3-HL-3-222 HEAVY ACTION.... ETC ?? WTH? IF THE ROD SAYS "HEAVY ACTION" AND THAT IS IT...DON'T BUY IT. THIS IS MISLABELING. WHAT THIS ACTUALLY MEANS IS HEAVY POWER WITH NO ACTION RATING. SEND A MESSAGE TO SALESMEN AND MANUFACTURERS!!! THANKS
5 years later and this video is still helping people....short, sweet, and effective. Best video I've seen explaining it.
Make that allmost 7 years. I've always understood the differences but never like how this guy broke it down.
I'm getting into fishing and it's awesome, as a foreigner, what word is supposed to correspond to what behaviour really isn't obvious but he nailed it here
Haha still here
7 years later
Best power v action video on youtube
Thank you.
Thank you Johnny! I just started fishing and when I asked my buddies no one could give me a concrete answer that made sense
No nonsense yapping,went straight to the point, no puns intended.👍🏻
Thank you!

Fast, well delivered, and exceptionally well visualized.
Good job, Johnnie.
Thank you for this. 5yrs later and it’s still helping people understand this.
Finally I understand clearly between the power & action on the rods. Thanks!
LOVE this video. No bs and straight to the point. Thank you
Last video I watch just before this one was 16 minutes long and didn’t explain it as well as this video. Thank you!
6 allmost 7 years later still helping people. Maybe the best video ever released to help someone select a rod.
WOW, There is no better way to explain this. Thank You!

Thank you!!
People making videos on RUclips can learn from this guy's presentation.
Finally found something that explains it properly. Short and on point!
Very clear and informative, this is what we need, thank you sir! Thumbs up!
Fast and on point, no unnecesary things. Thanks man
Right below this video is another video that is over 15 mins long covering the same topic. Thanks for getting straight to the point
This is the best i have ever seen, thanks for all the info, without the BS!
wish more RUclips were like this. straight to the point.
Very good video. Short, sharp and straight to the point ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Hands down the best explanation of the differences.

Kudos!! Excellent demonstration. Simple and effect.. Appreciate your effort in the set up.
I watched so many other videos and didn't get it, and this guy just explains it perfectly in the first minute.
This was the BEST explanation on this topic on RUclips. Thank you very much.
Thank you very much.
straight to the point..... just the info I was looking for. Thank you...thank you !!!!!!
Best rod video on RUclips
Thank you.
Finally. A video that knows how to spit it out.
That really helps explain the differences between power and action. Thanks.
How useful thank you for taking the time to put this together. Mush appreciated.
Cut Dry and Clear! Great Video 👍
Very Nice Johnnie well done !

Very great explanation ❤🎉

Cristal clear , thank you
Nicely illustrated and explained.
Thank you.
Excellent explanation.
quick and to the point. thanks.
thank you because i just bought a new carbon lite rod today to pitch and flip with and i'm short so i bought a 7 foot heavy action extra fast tip. I hope that i made the right choice?
Man you couldn't have explained it any better!!
Thanks!
Heavy but fast action on the info video 👍🏼
Thanks Jhon 👍🤝
Awesome explanation, thank you!
TY Johnnie, you helped me a lot!
Vary beautiful explained..
Very well explained... I also want to know which action casts longer/farther using same lure weights... I thank you...
The slower rod actions will cast further with everything else being equal. I use moderate actions for casting.
Many thanks! This is best explanation!
Thank you for sharing.
Great video!
@ 0:45, the 3 rods on the right side of your video are all with identical power. But shouldn't the the action be extra fast, fast and moderate from top to bottom?
The more moderate a rod, the further toward the handle the rod bends. The faster a rod, the more towards the tip the rod bends.
That's right! You got it backwards in the video. Thanks for an otherwise fantastic video.
Sorry, but I watched again and I have it correct. Slower taper or more moderate is on the top. Fastest rod is on the bottom.
You are correct. The video has it backwards
@@DK77201 I'm no pro what so ever, but it seems from a logical standpoint that it's the reverse order for sure. The most bottom rod seem to start bending earlier than the most top one, making the order said in the video being in reverse order than what's actually the truth..
Thank you for this nice rods power & action info, sir. 😊🙏
How about length & strength, sir? 🙏
Thanks for sharing!
Great explanation. Thank you
5 star video!!

Amazing video. But ngl my eyes were playing tricks on me lol. Great video tho I learned a lot in a short amount of time.
Only took
So, I'd like to explain because I have doubts as a new bee. the left shows that 3 rods with the same action that have the same bending points, and their lure weight are also different. So what can say about that? because the power and the lure weight are different. On the right side, it is the same power rod, but Johnnie did not explain too much. SO can anyone help?
Very helpful. Now I know it all means
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
What brands can I get so heavy and telescope as slight as well please
So which one cast the furthest
Hi what power and action for snakehead fishing?
Great vid
Very great video but i'd like to know how much weight did you put on each rod ?? Is ther the same weight ??
There is 8 oz on each rod.
thanks, now i understand
Thanks
Yep so I come to a conclusion that medium power and fast action is the best
can you please recommend me rod
for saltwater - gulf sea , we dont have ocean like you
i have daiwa primarine 2.7 meter i feel its hard doesnt bend easily
and it doesnt cast so far, but it can handle shark i think :D
i will use cut fish or calamari , no lure no jigging only real cut fish and others
i feel i want rod less than 4m but im scared to buy something that bend so much on 10 cm fish :)
but if i take hard one doesnt bend then it will not cast far
GREAT VIDEO, I GOT A BOTTOM FISHING ROD HANDED DOWN TO ME WITH ATCO ROLLER GUIDES HOWEVER IT SEEMS TO HAVE LOTS OF BEND FROM THE MIDDLE OF THE ROD TO THE TIP, NOT SURE NOW IF IT CAN BE USED TO BOTTOM FISH AS HOOKING THE HOOK MAY BE AN ISSUE. ANY ADVICE?
Try a no stretch fishing line. Braided line with no stretch will aid with hook sets.
Sir i purches uglystick gx2 medium power medium action 7 feet rod for spoon fishing and topwater pencil lure fishing both lures are around 20 gms. Line weight written on rod is 15 lb but i use 40 lb braided line because I target big fish. What is your opinion this rod is good for this purpose or not
I believe you made a good purchase for what you want to do. The line rating will be fine. Enjoy!!!
Nice👍
ty
good video up until the end where you point to the rods out of order
The rods were described in order. The vidoe was reviewed several times before and after it was posted. Thanks for watching. Glad you enjoyed it.
can an ultra light rod have fast action and heavy power? or the power is directly linked to the weight of the lure? can I fish an ultra light rod for large fish?
An Ultra Light Rod is Ultra Light power. Yes they can have a fast action tip.
This video is heavy extra fast action 😆
great vid

8) Finally label Glass, E-Glass, Graphite, Carbon Hybrid whatever....and Model name and Manu.
GET RID OF THE PROPRIETARY STUPID HYROGLYPHICS LABELING THAT EVEN AN EXPERIENCED SALESMAN HAS TO GUESS AT. Example 8472-3-HL-3-222 HEAVY ACTION.... ETC ?? WTH?
IF THE ROD SAYS "HEAVY ACTION" AND THAT IS IT...DON'T BUY IT. THIS IS MISLABELING. WHAT THIS ACTUALLY MEANS IS HEAVY POWER WITH NO ACTION RATING. SEND A MESSAGE TO SALESMEN AND MANUFACTURERS!!!
