I think it depends on the action.
Nash bought out some Method rods and these were through action, whereas most 3lb TC rods are very tippy.
It's more of a slower action on the cast as opposed to a punch with a normal lead.
I've got some 11' 1.75lb thru action rods that will put a 4 to 6oz loaded method ball close to 100yds.
It all depends on the rod and the action that you use to cast it.
