Mark,
You missed the point...
I mentioned the potential for skew to you once a while back. Limiting the discussion to this thread, I think it is a mistake to disregard the potential positive role of inertia in casting because a physics equation implies that it makes for inefficient springs.

"positive role of inertia in casting"?
If I understand you right, you are back to the original confusion again, the tip weight/ inertia / rod load...
Despite using ultra light material, you still can put load/ inertia/ LINE weight on the rod tip to create the "feel". This is done by creating a regressive taper. The regressive bend feel is from the action design, not by installing the rebar in the rod tip (as Steve mentioned before). You DON'T need to put a extra "rod tip weight" to create this inertia feel...
Well... if you don't understand this difference between taper and load feel by line momentum.. there is nothing I can say... good luck on your quest!
Cheers,
Mark
