Driftless, hello to answer your question, the rod is medium fast and very powerful. Allot of butt power with a soft tip (tip diameter is 4.0). It casts wonderfully at all distances. It forms a very nice loops at 10 to 15 ft. and throws razor thin loops to 60 ft. with little effort. It’s very smooth and light in hand. The blank is a combination of E and S glass and has a large diameter. It will be a wonderful big water rod for indicator rigs, streamers, nymphs but it’s still delicate enough for fishing dries. That’s the great thing about glass a fast powerful rod like this still retains that wonderful lively glass feeling. It will bend well into the butt with a nice fish and have plenty of power to turn it. Because it’s glass small to medium size will be fun on it too. I cast it with a SA Frequency plus WF 5 F which is a 5.5 wt line. I liked the combination allot
