I am thinking about buying the new Expride spinning rod in 7' light fast tip with  line weight of 3lb. to 6 lb. & lure weight 3/32oz to 3/8oz.  I fish a Daiwa Tatula Med light 7" fast tip with line weight of 4lb. to 10.lb. with lure weight 1/16 oz to 3/8 oz. Does this mean the Expride may be a stiffer rod or should I say more toward extra fast tip? 

I have fished the previous gen expride light + and also own the tatula ML F. They are similar rods. I felt that the expride light (even though it had a higher lure weight rating) fished lighter baits. Great rod for streams, trout, smaller bass, and light drop shot style fishing. I think the ML Daiwa is a better all around ML. Hope that helps! The expride light is a fun rod no doubt!

They sure are! I have a lot of higher end rods in spinning and the tatula spinners really surprised me when I started fishing a couple. The ML 7-6 and ML 7-1 are just killer at $150. Comfortable handles too.
