Its down to prefrence in heavy ground i like a poker stiffer the better but to fish over mixed ground something softer i found with a softer rod i.e a ss a m4 evo if a fish gives a pull down you cant stop it as easy as the tip bends and alows it with a poker you can bully it i am not a great caster but find the ss tip and m4 evo and bullet and a few other have thus problem the bullets and m4 evo are powerfull rods but not stiff there is a massive difference in a powerfull rod to a stiff tod
