OK, I know less than squat about plugs and pluggin'. Why would it make any difference what material the rod is made of (not counting broomsticks) for pulling or trolling or hanging plugs on anchor?

When I go springer fishing and troll a herring during flood or slack tide and decide to anchor and plunk a kwikfish during the ebb, you mean I should use a different rod for that? If so, what will the fiberglass rod do that makes any meaningful difference?
