I sent you a PM on what make of rod I like...But the action means a lot, first off what do the rod builders mean by fast tip or med fast???
Fast tip means it bends more at the tip and less as you go down to the handle...
I like a longer rod and one that bends all the way to the handle...I use and fish drop shots a lot and the longer the rod the better the hook set and the better you can fight the fish, the bend in the rod is very important as well...
The bend in the rod is what keeps the line tight and helps in the fight of bigger fish and will keep you from braking off fish as much...
And in deep water or shallow water it will help in the hook set as well, the less bend you have the easier for the fish to get slack in the line, so yes as long as you have room to work the longer rod the better..
