The 702 family denotes approximately seven feet and two sections; 2130 mm is the controlling metric length. It is not a renamed Fast-action bottom-fishing rod or an offshore blank with new paint.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe proposed differences are functional and visual: Moderate rather than Fast action, a supplier-developed glass\/carbon-composite taper, a full continuous rear grip rather than split EVA, and a small offset corner-block identity instead of coastal contours. Two earthy palettes replace the blue\/gold and white\/navy direction used on recent GOOFISH concepts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe design aims to maintain a usable loaded response during a steady retrieve and changing fish pressure. It does not guarantee that treble hooks will remain attached. Hooks, line stretch, drag, lure resistance and handling still matter. Moderate does not mean a weak blank, and Medium Power is not the same thing as Moderate Action.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCompare the proposed specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSelection parameter\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCinderbend 702M\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCinderbend 702MH\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAssembled length\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2130 mm target\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2130 mm target\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConstruction\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2 sections, proposed central put-over joint\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2 sections, proposed central put-over joint\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eReel layout\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTrigger casting seat, straight-top guide train\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTrigger casting seat, straight-top guide train\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePower target\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eM \/ Medium\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMH \/ Medium Heavy\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAction target\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eModerate\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eModerate\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFully rigged lure casting target\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7–21 g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e14–42 g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNominal mono line-class target\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8–14 lb\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10–20 lb\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMinimum static line-tension proof target\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20 N, approximately 2.04 kgf\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e30 N, approximately 3.06 kgf\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProof status\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd colspan=\"2\"\u003eUntested internal development gate under the defined fixture method below; not a working-drag or breaking-strength rating\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFull rear EVA length \/ maximum OD\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e260 \/ 26 mm target\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e280 \/ 27 mm target\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSeat-body midpoint to butt-end datum\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e330 mm target\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e350 mm target\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eForegrip length \/ maximum OD\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20 \/ 24 mm target\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20 \/ 25 mm target\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRounded butt-cap maximum OD \/ axial length\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e28 \/ 18 mm target\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e29 \/ 18 mm target\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLongest packed section\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd colspan=\"2\"\u003eDevelopment goal no more than 1130 mm, unmeasured and excluding an outer case\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNot yet assigned\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd colspan=\"2\"\u003eFinished mass, balance, structural tip\/butt diameters, exact glass\/carbon ratio, working drag, lifting capacity, recovery time, tested lure-depth range and casting distance\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo distinct taper developments are required.

Action describes the distribution of bending under a defined load and support arrangement. The intended Moderate response recruits a meaningful part of the middle under working load instead of relying only on a rapidly bending tip. It must still preserve progressive butt support. Do not describe it as an exact 5:5 curve or uniform parabolic shape without a defined measurement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePropose a supplier-engineered glass\/carbon-composite blank, with each material's placement and proportion to be established through layup development.
