Abu Garcia Rod tip vs power Rating
Did some measurements for how much the rod tip moves in inches when loaded with different weights for my Abu Garcia rods. The Nano and CEX are Carabus models both with a solid tip, MB is Mass Beat III, these three are all considered area trout rods. I don't know what the Diplomat X is designed to be used for but the UL rating is way out of line compared to the area trout rods.

I was a little surprised at how close the Carabus UL and MB3 L matched up for the first 4 oz of weight.
