The Tenryu Fast Finess M (Equal Section) has been specifically designed for linear (straight retrieve) styles of fishing. This style of fishing has become very popular here in the UK and in France, where anglers have realised the potential in getting a weightless soft plastic lure out at distance and retrieve it slowly back across the flow. 

These rods incorporate the latest CNT (Carbon Nano Tubing), from what I understand CNT in its molecular form is formed in tubes, making it extrememly strong for the amount of carbon used. Personally I think this equal section rod is stunning, the build quality is incredible when you see it in your hands. The blank is extremely light to hold, but is not wafer thin like other well known rod brands. The high end carbon used on these blanks is so light it allows Tenryu to build them with thicker walls and maintain an extremely light rod in your hand.

As for the action of the rod, well it is indeed "steely" to the tip, making it very sensetive, but the tip has a little life in it, just the slightest bend, but the power comes straight in when you hit the rod to strike the hook home. This is indeed a rod and a style that I am personally really looking forward to learning. So in a nutshell, if you like using weightless or very slightly weighted soft lures, the team at Ultimate Fishing in France have designed this rod and have taken into account all the formats needing in this form of fishing here in Europe.
