RAID Japan Rod Strategy - Part I

I'm curious...all these rods are rated with a "fast" taper, but I see you are using them for cranks and lipless?  Do these blanks keep the fish pinned well enough with the fast tapers?

"The Joker" works well as does the "Baltoro" and the spinning "Power Nose".  Multiple fish of various sizes/weights.  I haven't hooked into any fish on the "Baltoro II Heat" and "King Heavy" as of yet.
