Besides length, what is the difference in action etc between the BB Classic and the Finesse?

Advice from users of these two rods would be appreciated.

The Finesse and Classic are basically the same apart from the length. The classic is slightly stiffer in the tip and so can cast marginally heavier weights. They both feel very similar to use. It really comes down to the individual persons preference on rod length.

Cheers, Dror

No worries. Depending on what you are after, the XF is definitely worth a look also. It has a more progressive taper but still has plenty of power and is an absolute delight to use. It is also lighter, especially if fitted with the REC guides.

Cheers, Dror

I'm looking for something to fish small lures and possibly (probably) SP's on 2kg braid so I'm leaning more towards the finesse.
