I don't know, you tell me.

It *might* add a little bit of mush to the tip so it actually would work as a spoon rod.

Might not.

Also, if it's a different type of graphite (new GLX vs old IMX), could very well be a very sensitive rod for spinners, etc.

Might not.

If I had one in my hand I could tell in 1 cast. Since I don't, I'm just asking.

I personally would be surprised if there's a big difference between the 2 rods.
