One thing I noticed and maybe you can help here, the bending curve on a couple of the 12in fish did not look as pronounced as it does from the chest camera view. You have said many times this is the softest rod you own and I just assumed the softness was felt and shown in the deeper curve of the blank, but it doesn't look that way on the one dimensional video screen. Just trying to get a visual feel for this rod versus the Finetail Area Stage that I have. Thanks for the videos and great catch!

They rate the rod as “Regular”. All the MC area rods I own.....4 of them....are fast. Years ago Allsorts told me just how fast MC rods were....and of course he is correct. The Diplomat...while it is soft.....the Uber soft part is the tip. I need to hang some weight on it and demonstrate the bending curve so one can see. That’s going to be the best way to convey the action. Only have another 3 weeks to fish before I have spinal surgery on 23 November. Then I’m down for 6 weeks so maybe can do some videos of bending curves.

Perhaps while you're rehabbing you could set up a bending curve station akin to Victor's and run through your stable of Thorobreds.

I would love to do that...but the wife....LOL. I have 1777 feet of house and I just don't have a good room to do that in and leave it all up.
