Softer rods protect lighter tippets stiffer rods offer some casting advantages. It is really about how the rod is positioned when playing the fish and the name of the game is to land and release the fish as quickly as possible. You increase rod leverage and land the fish in less time with less stress regardless of the flex by positioning the rod horizontal to the water surface and fighting the fish on one side of your body as opposed to a high tip vertical rod position.
