Regarding rod action, it refers to the stiffness or flexibility of the fishing rod. Under heavy pressure, a rod will inevitably bend: a stiff rod bends less, while a flexible rod bends more. A stiff rod is less responsive than a flexible one and absorbs and dissipates less energy, so it requires a thicker line to bring the fish to the surface quickly and release it in a straightforward manner, though this approach involves some degree of abrupt pulling. By contrast, a flexible rod can better counteract the fish’s explosive power and more effectively dissipate and absorb its energy; however, because such rods are very pliable, they demand a larger area of control and take longer to wear down the fish’s strength. For these reasons, flexible rods should be avoided in competitive fishing.
