Rod action
Are you a beginner looking for a new rod? Check out the rods in the Medium and Medium-Fast categories. These rods bend a bit more than the so-called 'fast' rods, which simplifies both casting and fighting ability if a fish bites.
More about rod actions Action is a term for how the blank bends when pressure is applied to the tip and is described in English as follows:
Extra Fast (Ultra Fast): means the tip bends much more easily than the rest of the blank, which is relatively stiff.
Fast: bends just over a third of the blank.
Medium-Fast: bends about half of the blank.
Medium (Moderate): bends about 3/4 of the blank.
Slow: describes a parabolic bend of almost the entire blank.
Common simplified Swedish terms to describe action are tip-, half-, and full-action.
Different actions suit different fishing. 'Extra Fast' and 'Fast' provide more feel to the lure and faster hooksets, but the stiff blank reduces fighting ability and doesn’t offer the same 'slingshot effect' on casts as 'Medium' and 'Slow' actions.

Gear ratio
What is gear ratio? The term gear ratio, or 'gear ratio' in English, is a value that indicates how many laps around the reel’s spool the line goes per crank. A normal gear ratio is around 5.0:1 and up, meaning the spool rotates five times per crank. A fast gear ratio (high speed) is typically around 6.5:1, meaning 6.5 spool rotations per crank. Such a reel can be great when fishing for sea trout on the coast, as trout often like a bit of speed on the lure. In modern spin fishing, there are also reels with super-fast gear ratios, over 7.5 spool rotations per crank, used with certain lures that benefit from being fished very quickly.
Are you a beginner and want better control over the lure you’ve cast? Use a reel with a slightly lower gear ratio, around 5.0:1.
