very good for moving lures

Generally speaking, for jig head and bottom contact lures (jig head soft lure, ned rig, eurotackle zviber, soft worm etc.) a carbon rod is more useful whereas for moving baits (all your sinking/floating/suspending/topwater minnows, pencils, jerkbaits) a glass rod is much more beneficial and more fun (my Glassfin rod + Calcutta Conquest BFS reel is an perfect combo). But DANKUNG 's new Boron Glassfin rod is likely to break this rule, Kevin told me Boron-Glass rod will be very good for both bottom lures and moving lures. That's still an experiment product, not released yet.
I wish this is not off-topic.
I not care much about the material of Japanese(or Chinese) glass rod, while I am very interested in flick casting of their Glass rod.
Flick casting is not just aesthetic, but also very functional in fishing.
The best way to mastering flick casting efficiency and accuracy is to load the rod up and let the rod itself do the work launching the lure for you.
So instead of winding up and reaching way back to hurl the rod with your whole body,
it's more of a tight, circular sidearm whip that loads the rod tip and flicks the lure out there. it's an aesthtical motion like the dancing, you will be addictive to it.
More important, it's very useful cast in narrow spot where other casting can not be done at all.
Some guys use two hands to make sidearm flick cast, one over the reel seat where you would normally hold a rod and one on the rod butt. That's a more effective way, but is not necessary in most cases, I love flick casting as I please. Just enjoy doing it.
Drop the lure down 6 to 8 inches from the tip and begin your fist flick casting.
Glassfin rod flick casting, so cool
