Why does light action fishing rod and reels cost more than medium action counterparts?

05.November, 2009

For me the medium action is the all round rod and reel. I can catch almost anything besides heavy catfish and muskie.The light can catch trout except for the 8lb+ ,bullheads,suckers, and panfish

Quite possibly because of the way they are made. (Most) of today’s graphite rods are made by wrapping carbon fibers around a mandrel,
then a "hoop" - either fiberglass or graphite is wound inside the blank. It is then pressure cured with epoxy resins. The smaller diameter the blank, the more labor intensive and precise it has to be.

    A light action rod shouldn’t cost any more than the same brand of heavier rod, its probably just a better brand of rod to start with.

    I have both med and med light and the price is about the same for the same rods.

    a light action rig that will hold up under repeated stress costs more to manufacture.
