Hobbyist anglers often
turn to fishing rods to snare their catch; compared to traditional
tackle such as nets and spears, fishing rods are better suited for
sport fishing and for recreation. Modern rods are equipped with lines
and reels to draw in caught fish, as well as a combination of
terminal tackle such as hooks, sinkers, baits, and lures. As
indispensable tools in any angler’s arsenal, a lot of
considerations have to be made in choosing a rod.
Not all rods are made
the same; indeed, there are different types of fishing rods for
various situations. Each rod type has varying specifications,
allowing anglers to use them for specific cases such as ice fishing
or in-shore fishing. Two of the most popular types of rods among
anglers are the spin casting and the spinning rods.
Spin and bait casting
rods are fitted with a spin casting reel mounted above the rod, and
are traditionally considered better for heavier and stronger fish.
Spinning rods, on the other hand, are rods made especially for
spinning reels that hang beneath the rod, and are made for
comfortable long periods of fishing. Anglers should not be tied to
using one rod every single time and should consider bringing multiple
rods to allow switching as the situation demands.
