Fast action rods - St. Croix Legend Ultra

[draku007]

I'm thinking about buying St. Croix Legend Ultra 7' 6" 4wt (on sale for $195). In the description it says that it's a "fast rod - but not too fast". When I was casting it it felt like very flexible slow action rod rather then stiff fast action. I would like to use this rod on small local NJ waters (Pequannock, Ramapo, BFB). I found this while reading about fast action rods:
"Fishing Small Streams - A fast action fly rod can be a nightmare to use when stalking wary fish in small streams or spring creeks - places that anglers generally end up needing to make short casts. Fast action fly rods, as they lack the flexibility of slow action fly rods, are much more difficult to cast in conditions that require very short casts. Remember, fast action fly rods are designed for long, powerful casts - not short, confined casts."

Does anyone use the Legend Ultra on small streams?
