hi, what action? slo, med, or fast. thanks barry

[pgw]

If you're asking about the Orvis "Western Series" Silver Creek, it has a progressive taper indicative of the Western Series, stiff butt section for power and a more flexible tip section to protect tippets and gently turn over loops to minimize the impact of landing on the water. I fish it with either a WF or DT 3 however, for nymphing or shorting casting situations, it works well with a WF4.

It's not a slow Orvis Fulflex action, I'd say that it's medium fast when you calculate how the progressive taper effects the casting stroke and the rod's fish fighting ability.
