If our influencers are so against tip heavy fishing rods, then why is practically most fishing rods tip heavy?
Reality check, a tip heavy rod casts more consistently, and also further with less effort. Something about the physics in that.
Another reality check is, the moment you tie a lure on and use it, your fishing rod automatically becomes tip heavy. That defeats our influencers argument.
Finally reality check point three is, well your lure, your line, is all going to go under the surface of the water. At which an upright tip fishing rod is now fighting against the lure and line in the water.
For even topwater fishing lures like poppers and walk-the-dog type lures, the recommend technique is point your tip down towards the water.
