Fishing with Rod: Spooning stocked rainbow trout

Choosing the Right Fishing Rod

Before you start scouring the internet or heading off to your local fishing rod retailer, you might want to review some information about the vast array of fishing rods you are likely to encounter.  Don’t find yourself standing and staring at rows and rows of rods and wondering which one is the right one for you.  Before you buy, find out what qualities make a good rod and which ones you can stay away from.

The first rule in buying a fishing rod is to understand that spending outrageous amounts of money on a rod does not guarantee that the rod you’re purchasing is good.  In fact, you can spend less than one hundred dollars and get a very high quality rod with a great warranty from a brand name company that will suit your purposes perfectly.

If you’re seeking that super special fishing rod to add to your growing collection, you’re not likely to be looking for a rod that is simply a backup to the one you normally use.  Let’s face it, if it’s more than a backup, you’re looking for something different not something that’s commonplace.  Drop-shooting finesse baits require a totally different rod than a rod that would be used for a pleasant, relaxing day of fishing with your children. Regardless of whether your idea of a relaxing day of fishing is fighting with a school of bluefish, trolling at sunset or working a heavy current for bass, you want to have the right rod.

Rod manufacturers have made it easy to determine what rods are suited to which tasks. If you look near the handle at the rod blank, you’ll see specifications about what line weight, lure weight and other information that will help you determine which rod is the rod you need to be working with. Fishing for bluefish will require a heavier line such as 20-lb test and fishing for medium sized bass will require something in the 10-lb test range.  These labels will help you decide on the right rod for the fishing task ahead of you.

Another consideration that you will want to review before purchasing a rod is the type of line you’ll be using. As mentioned previously, rod manufacturers include line weight on the sides, but these labels are specific to monofilament line. If you intend to use a braided line don’t forget that a standard 12-15 pound monofilament is equivalent to a 50-pound braided line and purchase your rod accordingly.  Don’t buy a rod rated for 50-lb line if you are planning on using a 50-lb braided line as a rod that will hold a 15-lb monofilament will serve the same purpose.

You also need to think about the weight of the lures you intend to cast with your new purchase, of course. The rod labeling will help enormously when you come to this part of the decision-making process. You will see, if the rod is rated for lure weights of 1/8 oz.–1/4 oz., then the rod will be lightweight and have a somewhat skinny diameter. If the rod is rated for lures of 3/4 oz.–1 3/4 oz., then the rod is probably heavier and much thicker in diameter. If you try to cast lures that weigh less than what is suggested, then your cast will probably not succeed. Lures heavier than what is suggested risk a broken line on your cast or, worse, a broken rod.

Another important consideration you will want to make is the length of the rod you purchase.  If you’re fishing onshore you’ll need a shorter rod – this helps cast especially in streams, where it’s easy to get between trees.  For river-shore fishing, you’ll need to cast longer distances and perhaps you’ll need a rod that is upwards of twelve feet.  Boat fishing requires a shorter rod – the shorter rods are easier to control and if you try to use something greater than eight feet, you could find yourself with trouble on your hands.

There are definitely other factors that could come up, and some fishing applications have need of more involved levels of decision-making. However, these central considerations will let you speedily perfect your hunt for the ideal rod. You can make use of this method to shop for rods in your local fishing retail store or even on the Internet and feel certain that you are making the right selection for your fishing needs.

Choosing the correct rod is just as important as choosing the right reel. Some of the most popular reels are Shimano Spinning Reels and Daiwa Reels.
