Re:Rod help. 15 Years, 4 Months ago  
For dry flies I prefer a medium action. But for throwing nymphs with weights and indicators I use a fast action. I have 50+ years worth of bad habits, and I've never gotten the right rhythm with fast action for dries. I first learned to cast on a bamboo rod. Cane = slow. I don't know of any graphites that are slow action, maybe glass.

Of course, go to your local shop and ask to try out several different styles. Don't know where you live, but here in Sacramento the three shops here are most helpful.

Hope this helps.
