Hi - Would there be a difference in action between a Heddon #50 8 1/2' 1 3/4F 3/2, and a WM Granger 8642? Would the Heddon, perhaps, be a little lighter in
hand, and lighter in line? Thanks....Mark

Yes
Yes I like the Heddon a whole lot more and a # 50 is top of the line. It is a great taper and you do not see all that many around |

The Granger rod has a lot more "juice" and I feel is a more versatile rod. That said, that Heddon taper is sweet. And lighter in the hand, and
lighter in line. There is more to life than lightness, however. Get both rods to be safe.
