I'm trying to determine which rod has the faster action between a St. Croix H/mf and a Shimano/Jackall H/rf. I'd appreciate your inights, even if they're based on different rods or other factors.

 

1. Which rod is typically faster: a H/mf or a H/rf?

 

2. Which rod is faster: St. Croix H/mf or Shimano/Jackall H/rf?

 

3. If your opinion is based on something other than first-hand experience or a side-by-side comparison, what is it based on? Please, let us all know.

 

Thanks in advance for your input and insights!

The only valid answer will be from someone who has fished both rods. One company’s heavy might be another company’s medium. Case n point. I have a couple Phoenix M1 Heavy Extra Fast. Rod is actually what I would call medium+ fast compared to a St Croix. It would be nice if the rod companies had standards.
