The rod tip bends or knocks, not to be confused with tidal movement that is sometime imparted to the tip of the rod. Cheers keith
Oh by the way a warm welcome to the forum mate.  |

Tophat the rod tip will knock like if you rapped your nuckles on your door.
Tides and wind just rock and bend your tip and weed is similar to the bite knock.
Practise will give you confidence and experience.
