Exactly D, thats the beauty of the acid wrap. You can build it with the backbone up for lifting power, then transfer the load to the bottom of the rod for sensitivity. Before you had to chose one or the other and modify with length or taper of the rod. These are not for every application and seemed a like a gimmick to me, but certain fisheries are gulping the kool aid on them.
You can have the lifting power and action in a lighter package. Granted, I've never fished with one, so all this is what I've heard and read.
Let's wait a week or two and see what the field tester's report says.
