Casting Style Length Pc. Lure Wt. Line Wt. Action Power Tip Size

BGSW1266-2 Casting 10'6" 2 2-4 10-20 Mod-Fast Med-Hvy 7.0
BGSW1267-2 Casting 10'6" 2 2-6 15-30 Mod-Fast Heavy 8.0


Power is best described as the amount of energy or force needed to get a rod blank to bend. All Star uses a Power Rating System to rate it's rods:

(((The "7" is greater then "6" therefore indicating that a greater force is needed to flex the rod to the action of the rod of which both are rated as Mod-Fast. The differences are shown above. IMO, you would expend more of your energy to flex the rod to it's rated capacity unless you want to throw 6 oz. as the 1267-2 allows)))



Power Rating
Power 1 Ultra-Light
Power 2 Extra-Light
Power 3 Light
Power 4 Medium-Light
Power 5 Medium
Power 6 Medium-Heavy
Power 7 Heavy
Power 8 Extra-Heavy
Power 9 Ultra-Heavy


- How to Read the Item Numbers -

The numbers assigned to individual
items consist of information unique
to that item. For example:

AST 785 C

All Star Titanium - AST
78" Long - 78
Medium or 5 Power - 5
Casting - C

(((Note: The 1266 and 1267 doe not apply for the length as does the power as shown in bold)))


The above is from the allstar company except comments in parathesis ((( ))) and has not been checked for accuracy for I do not have a 1267-2 but do have a 1266-2 Allstar Breakaway
