1) Those who are "old school" and prefer glass rods because they work more fluidly without the stiff rebound of graphite. I have friends who swear this is the way to go.

2) Everyone else who leans towards the modern graphite rods designed specifically for plug fishing. I fall into this group.

The "glass" guys make very valid points but my question to them (or anyone for that matter) is if those actions are the time-tested rods to use, why don't the graphite rod makers follow suit? These graphite plug rods are designed by fishermen just like us. Yet, they invariably design sensitive tip, fast action rods.

I just find it interesting looking at the 2 schools of thought and how very different equipment can (debatably) produce similar results.

I was doing a search for some plug rod information and ran across Erics post. Interesting can anyone answer it?
