I happen to have a 10 ft B&M Bream Buster.
It is definitely "too" flexible on the tip !
I love it, but, can't haul the fish up and into the boat quickly, is just too flexible, have to grab the line with other hand and help it on up, etc.
Plus, when I got the thing, started to tie line to tip and the tip came right off. Had to wrap sewing thread around tip then mix up some two part epoxy and coat it, been working fine since, cept for the haulin into the boat thing.
The other pole I couldn't say........
"Teach a man to fish = he can feed himself "
"Teach the world to fish = you won't have any fish left to eat "
