I don’t have the 6’6” in the F2 or the F Series, but have the F2 703/3 and the FS 723/5. I have not had a lot of time to fish the FS, but I did take them both out to the back yard for a side by side casting comparison. These rods are not the best comparison due to the added 2” of length and two added ferrules on the FS and I am by no means a professional rod evaluator, but here you go:

The F2 is faster/has a bit more power. I can double haul my F2 better than my FS for distance, but if I slow down my swing the FS will get there too. I usually slow it down with the F2 when fishing and I don’t really do a bunch of double hauling for longer distance shots, but I wanted to see what the difference would be. Accuracy is roughly the same. I do notice a quicker damping of vibrations with the FS over the F2 when I do the ol wiggle test. Overall I will say that they are very similar, I feel like I bought a pack rod version of my F2.

I will report back once I get more experience on the water.
