i know there have been a million post about okuma rods, but i've read through all the posts via the search function and i can't find an answer. the extra heavy swim bait rod, is it a medium action? does this rod have a parabolic bend, or this a broom handle type rod where only the tip flexs a litlle?

This will help:

"Unlike some other so called swimbait rods that are just worm or jig rods re-wrapped and re-marked as swimbait rods, these blanks were designed from the ground up to actually throw a big swimbait. These rods are stiff! The GS-C-761H is a very heavy duty rod, and the GS-C-761XH is bordering on being a broomstick. These are rods for heavy rubber and big wood, not for smaller lighter baits. Another bait this rod will work well with is the regular Mission Fish with its huge G-Mag hook. If you swing for fences with these rods, you'll rip the fish about 10 feet in the right direction. They have serious backbone."
