Can someone confirm where Moderate-Fast or Mod-fast fits in the Megabass Tapers or actions?
Is it the same as Medium-Fast?

That’s fairly accurate I’d say. It is really so rod by rod. The ratings mean very little sometimes with high end technique specific rods. For example the tachyon shaft, f6.5-6’7” is rated as a regular, however it actually has quite a lot of tip to it and that first few inches is very responsive like an extra fast. However once it go under load the rod basically bends all the way down to around the stripper guide.
I have 4 megabass rods and would consider medium fast as moderate fast. I’ll also say they’re pretty unique in general on power and action. All of mine are fast and extra fast but have a really sensitive soft tip and at the same time a firm spine that can really power fish. It’s hard to explain but they all just feel perfect to me
I would recommend that you shop for them at a different retailer.
I love tackle warehouse and get pretty much all my fishing gear from them other than JDM stuff. That being said a retailer like TheHookUp Tackle or Omni Fishing will have a detailed breakdown of each rod, the action and power rating translated into more detailed and specific terms, techniques they recommend per rod, etc.
