MHC ...... I'm sorry, I forgot to add that also. Parabolic is a design term, that in it's most simple form describes a rod that has a strong tip and mid, with a softer butt section. This creates a load deeper into the butt and a "sling shot effect" feel to the cast. This would be different than a progressive taper that builds throughout the taper. Hope that answers ....

I have heard of 'Parabolic' used by rod-makers, which can lead to much discussion as to it's actual meaning. Seems that it is less to do with design theory, more of a figure of speech, describing rods which have a stiff lower tip and mid section plus deeper flexing lower section as mentioned.
