Nice soft tip will absorb lunges rather than trying on the drag.

I hate Nash gear always have. However brought a second hand pair of 9 foot 2.75 scopes to keep in the back of the van and was shocked how much I liked them.

The mid-butt section, and your drag should be doing that task.
A fast taper rod (tip action as you are describing) will just lock up at the mid section of the rod.
So you have no more forgivness as the rod has locked up and all the pressure is on your reel (drag).
Unless you want long distant casting a soft tip is just a 2 foot match rod on a broom handle.
It's pointless for 9 foot rods at close range where you want a rod to absorb the lunges throughout it's length.
And to add insult to injury, these tackle companies produce quick drag reels.
What a combo.. a fast taper with a quick drag reel. Absolutely clueless!
