TO ME....An intermediate doesn't really cast any different than a floating and so on down the line. FULL SINKING lines aren't that noticeably different but there is some difference.
A faster/stiffer rod is designed more for BIG bugs and wind.
I cast a TYPE II with a full flex rod. really isn't that hard.
Now a SINK TIP is a whole different story. They are very TIP heavy, where a full sink is the whole line.
With the Frequent Flyer, you are still talking a MID flex in the medium fast by other companies standards.
It is a good all around, cast anything flex.
My TFO is the 10er and I cast everything with it, but I prefer slower rods. There is more finesse with slower action. Makes you slow down and feel the load.
Fast action covers allot of mistakes, and for that reason, becoming more popular. Everyone I know that has a fast action is now going back to the slower. You don't have to muscle it, the sling shot action or catapult does all the work.
Like I said....MY opinion.
I know full flex isn't for everyone and every thing, that is why I have half and half, (slow and Medium) with ONE fast action.
