How to Identify the Most Ideal Fishing Rods for Your Specific Needs


Composed of the blank, which is the long tubular part, and the butt, which is where the reel will be attached, your rod’s length determines what sort of fishing it can be used for. Longer rods can cast farther and have more reach. This makes them ideal for beach fishing and rock fishing. Shorter rods come in a couple of forms. Short boat rods are more robust, and can support heavier lines. And short light action rods are great for some river/lake applications, and have great sensitivity and feel. A rod’s durability and purpose are also influenced by what materials went into its making. Blanks are now commonly made of fibreglass or graphites, or a mixture of the two; blank-making companies follow their own formulas. In any case, the composition can influence the rod’s action (i.e., how it bends) as well as casting weights and strength of the rod.

Marlin Fishing Tackle: Should You Use Live Bait or Plastic Lures?


The mighty Blue Marlin is one of the most thrilling and challenging fish to catch. Many daring anglers have braved the oceans in hopes of conquering this amazing fish. Experts all around agree that to catch Blue Marlin, one should be adequately equipped with the best fishing tackle and angling knowhow. Still, the question remains: should you use plastic lures or live bait? A few people alternate between the two choices, seasoned skipper and competitive angler Ronnie Fields being one of them. Fields was practically a bait user growing up, having won second place at a local tournament in his hometown using “home-grown” techniques. He did, however, pull quite a hat trick in the same tournament for two consecutive years and placed second in the Atlantic Blue Marlin category in 2009 using lures.

“Chunk” Tuna Like a Pro with the Right Fishing Tackle and Angling Savvy


Whenever tuna begin feeding along the Eastern Seaboard’s offshore canyons from September to November, and off Australia’s south-eastern coast from May through July, it’s a field day for experienced and rookie anglers alike. Tuna fishing can be quite challenging, especially without the appropriate fishing tackle and angling savvy. For one, the speed and weight of tuna make the chase quite tricky since they can swim as fast as 50 miles/hour and weigh as much as 1,000 pounds. Fortunately, the old, reliable technique that is chumming (otherwise known as chunking) almost never fails.
