As any experienced fly fisherman can attest, the rod you choose will have a significant impact on not only whether or not you catch the fish you are seeking, but how easy or difficult the catch will be. There is little doubt that fly fishing is an art form and that it takes a great deal of time and experience to master, but for people new to the sport, the ability to choose the right rod is an important starting point. Fly fishing rods are all different from one another, and the right one for you depends on many things.
Size and length are important factors when choosing fishing rods and reels. For example, salmon fishing rods and trout fishing rods have very different requirements. In terms of size, the number of a fly fishing rod will increase as the size of the rod increases. A 3, for example, is ideal for trout fishing, while a 9 would be better suited for salmon. Length is also an important consideration, with 9' being the most popular option. Shorter rods are typically advised for fishing in smaller areas or in places where bushes and plants line the outer edges of the water.
When seeking out the perfect trout or salmon fly rod, it is important to also consider the action of the rod. Action determines how much of the rod will bend during casting. Fast rods, for example, only bend at the tip and are ideal for fishing long distances or in high winds. Slow rods offer a full bend and are ideal for fishing in small creeks. A medium bend offers the most diversity and is typically the best choice for beginning fly fishermen. Snowbee fishing rods are well known in the industry for durability, quality, and craftsmanship.
While fishing has long been thought of as an elite sport, it is becoming increasingly popular with young people and older people alike. Fly fishing communities are becoming surprisingly diverse, and Internet communities are helping to spread interest in the sport. These communities are ideal for people new to fly fishing and can be excellent resources for people seeking their first fly fishing rods or simply looking for the courses they need to better their skills. Finding the right fishing rods is an important part of fishing, and doing so doesn't have to be difficult.

When you start out to go bass fishing
When you start out to go bass fishing, you will need the right equipment. One of the most important tools you can take with you is the right bass fishing rod.
However, choosing the right bass fishing rods from the many different types of rods out there can sometimes be a difficult choice. It will require a little background work before you can be sure you are getting the right fishing rod for you.
If you're going to a local discount store or fishing supply shop, you might see a large selection and this can make it difficult to choose the right one for you. To help narrow down your large selection, it helps to know if you will be spinning or bait-casting with the rod.
Then some other things to think about are:
* What length do you need/ want?
* What kind of power will you need?
* What type of grips is most comfortable for you?
* How many line guides do you need on your rod?
* Will the rod you're considering have the proper action?
* What kind of presentation will you use the rod for?
All of these questions apply to how your rod will react when you use it while casting. This is important to bass fishing because it can greatly affect your ability to catch the fish you're after. Sometimes when people go shopping for a fishing rod, especially if they are inexperienced, they choose a rod based more on what it looks like than on what it can actually do for them while fishing.
There are different choices in bass fishing rods today. You need to know what these are so that you can learn the differences in them and how to choose the right one.
Here are the basics:
* Blade, Spoon or Stickbait rod: This is usually made from Modulus graphite and is about six feet long with a fast action and medium to heavy power range. You should find six eyes as well as the top and it should have the grip material of your choice.
* Heavy Cover rod: This is usually used for flipping and pitching and it's usually made from a high Modulus graphite. It's about seven feet in length and gives a fast to extra fast power.
* Carolina Rig rod: This is also a high Modulus Rod of about six to seven feet long. This can be both casting or spinning with fast action and medium to heavy power.
* Crankbait rod: This is sometimes called a "Balsa wood Stickbait" rod and it is usually made of composite or fiberglass. It's casting or spinning rod and is about six feet and six inches to seven feet long. It has moderate action and a medium power.
* Topwater rod: Now this is a fiberglass or composite rod and this is because it's softer has more give when you set your hook. This is usually five foot six inches to about six feet in length. It has a moderate action and medium power.

depending on the size of your lure
Over the years manufactures have developed various technologies which allowed them to introduce materials like fiberglass, graphite and e-glass to the world of sea fishing tackle. They all have experimented quite a bit with these material and most of the time have come up with remarkable products.
Majority of new generation of sea fishing rods and reels, with some minor exceptions, are manufactured from such materials so to make them less susceptible to corrosion caused by saltwater. Although most manufacturers still recommend for sea fishing tackle, reels especially, to be rinsed off in tap water after each use in order to prolong the life of sea fishing tackle.
The key to success in the world of so much competition from so many manufacturers is in ability to produce well balanced equipment. Well balanced sea fishing rods, poles and reels are essential for good casting. For this reason all manufacturers put guidelines on their products advising anglers which lines and lures are best suited to their fishing poles, rods and reels. But if you are new to all this, I have written a series of reports on various spinning rods and reels such as for baitcasting and for light, medium and heavy tackle spinning. This one is mainly about the rods and reels for heavy freshwater and medium saltwater spinning.
Such sea fishing rods and reels are often used for casting lures in most surf conditions or from a fishing vessel. They also work well in medium to large size waterstreams for catching reasonably large size trout.
Medium saltwater spinning reels would usually hold about 350 yards of 6 lb test mono line or about 335 of 8 lb test mono line and the reduction in capacity goes so on. This is just a rough estimate as actual capacity of reels can very significantly from one manufacturer to another. Lines which are smaller in diameter would allow you a lengthier cast (depending on the size of your lure) and larger lines would usually result in a sorter cast. You should adjust the size of your line in accordance with the type of water, fishing tackle, desired length of cast and the weight of your lures. Consider using a larger diameter line (but not more than 12lb test) in waters where there are obstacles such as large amounts of weeds because a lighter line can easily snap if it gets tangled. You can also get advice on fishing tackle direct from your local specialists.
When selecting a reel, make sure that the one you are planning to get has a reasonably large diameter spool so to avoid line twist. For a medium power sea fishing rod, between 7-9 feet in length, the spool should not be smaller than 4.5 to 5 millimetres. You should also adjust the fishing rod length by taking into account the following factors: the type of reel, fishing line, lure, fishing tackle and water condition.
You should also make sure that the reel has a smooth drag and even a small fish can snap your line a fast moving waters if the drag of your reel is not up to scratch.
It is also wise to get a spear spool when buying a new reel. This is because there can be time when you may need to use a different size or colour line.
As regards to choice of lures, these reels would suit anything from a ?to 3/8 of an ounce lures. Adjust the size of your lure in accordance of the size of your line, fishing tackle and water conditions so to achieve adequate cast and allow it to sink with ease. If it is something you are still not sure about then ask your local specialist on fishing tackle direct.
At last, if the reel you want to by does not already have a line on it, ask your sea fishing tackle dealer to load the line on for you as they usually have line loading equipment in store. This could save you a lot of time and effort. Also don forget to ask about a line lubricant as it will really help you to maintain your line and reel in good working order.

being created from a high resistance 25T carbon blank. With a selling price of around
If you're an enthusiastic angler like me, then you know that your chosen sea fishing tackle has to be clearly top shelf. Moreover, it should be both hard-wearing and versatile as well. There is nothing more annoying than having an item of tackle fail when you're fighting a huge, outraged fish. Because of this, It's my job to look for the most beneficial mix of quality and price from only the most favoured and highly regarded purveyors of sea fishing equipment. One company I really like quite a bit is Penn. The technicians at that place have certainly gotten it right. Penn tackle offers an optimum blend of great pricing with outstanding quality. The following is good info on a rod I'm really partial to: the Waveblaster Evo 12/20lb class rod.
Key Attributes of the Penn Waveblaster Evo 12/20lb Class Rod
It's a terrific piece of fishing tackle that I find myself implementing frequently. It is actually of sufficient length at 8ft to supply a good amount of sport, especially close in. It really is very strong as well, being created from a high resistance 25T carbon blank. With a selling price of around ?80.00 to ?90.00, countless fishermen find the Waveblaster Evo definitely within their budgets. An additional aspect I love is the hard-wearing Fuji SiC guides that are much more powerful and endure for a longer time than guides constructed from other sorts of materials. SiC is actually a chemical substance made out of silicon along with carbon. It's incredibly strong and hard, and incredibly resistant to deformation and tension. SiC has been used in producing and construction techniques for more than 100 years, hence I'm quite positive that the Waveblaster Evo is an extremely tough rod. SiC is also very immune to thermal shock.
More Information On the Waveblaster Evo
Yet another facet of this fishing rod that I appreciate is its very high grade EVA fighting fore grip and also rubber butt. By the way, EVA is short for ethylene vinyl acetate, a material that is widely recognized for its sturdiness, overall flexibility, and also very low temperature tolerance. You will probably find this specific rod to be considerably thinner in size than alternative fishing rods in its grouping, but its efficiency in no way suffers. The grip is quite secure, and I love the placement of the reel seat as well. The Waveblaster Evo is eight feet in length, and has a medium action.
Concluding Thoughts about the Penn Waveblaster Evo 12/20lb Rod
I've found that this superb piece of fishing tackle offers outstanding bite detection, particularly on the drift. It really works well with either braided or mono line. Regardless of whether you employ lures or live baits, you will find the rod's action to be great. Though the Evo flexes responsively, it maintains a good amount of firmness, providing practically flawless balance. It is also suitable for many smaller species including tope, bass, codling, whiting, dab, coalfish, pollack, plaice, gurnard, and flounder.
When I am standing on a windswept seashore on a bright, sun-drenched day, the Penn Waveblaster Evo fishing rod is generally the one particular piece of sea fishing tackle which is consistently in my hands. I'm content to rate it as 4.5 of 5 stars. Highly recommended!

Like the rods
The success of sports and recreational fishing is highly influenced by its two important equipments: the fishing rod and reel. A hastily selecting rods (or tackle) and reel could be disastrous for fishermen because it limits their ability to have a good catch. Conversely, carefully selected materials and equipments could mean a successful trip to the waters as catching fishes will be a lot easier.
The influence of these two equipments have made every fishermen think twice on selecting fishing rods and fishing reels. They have to make sure that they end up with the equipment that will give them the most advantage in the water.
Starting with a Purpose
In selecting the perfect tackle among the almost unlimited options for fishing rods, it is best to start with the question, "where will I use the fishing rod?" This question will immediately help in determining the perfect rod. Most of the fishing rods today are identified based on their purpose. For example, fly rods are perfect for fresh water fly fishing and sometimes sea-water sports fishing. Off-shore rods are strong, lightweight rods that can handle 150-pound catches without breakage.
Another consideration is the target. If the fish will be fighting for the catch or will extensively use its ability to pull-back, a rod with medium to full action is recommended. These fishing rods bend in the middle or near the handle so that adjustments could be made while handling the catch. For more accurate casting, fast action rods are recommended as it only bends in the end. Fast and full action rods are recommended for experts while mid-action rods are perfect for beginners.
Complementing Fishing Rods with Fishing Reels
Like the rods, fishing reels should be chosen based on their purpose. However, it is possible that a single reel could be used in different conditions. The most important factor every fisherman should remember about reels is their weight capability. The reel should be able to handle the expected weight of the catch. This means you don't select a fly reel for fresh water when you expect to go out in the ocean and catch a 150-pound tuna. Your reel will easily break and it could also destroy your rod in the process. Other factors that should be considered are the spool length capability, quick release of spool and reeling action.
Fishermen often have two options for fishing reels - the single action and the multiplier. The single action offers 1:1 ratio during reeling. This means the length of the line pulled is the same as the reeling action. Multiplier reels increases its line pulled even with just one round in the reel. The third type of fishing reel is automatic but it's rarely used as it is replaced by single action or multiplier reels.
Never Think Twice on Quality
When choosing a set of fishing rods and reels for the first time, never think twice on quality. As much as possible, look for equipments your budget could afford the most. Cheaper reels and rods are often low in quality and could easily break. Think of it as an investment as you'll enjoy your fishing experience more with a good set of reels and rods.

When choosing a set of fishing rods and reels for the first time, never think twice on quality. As much as possible, look for equipments your budget could afford the most. Cheaper reels and rods are often low in quality and could easily break. Think of it as an investment as you'll enjoy your fishing experience more with a good set of reels and rods.

fast action rods
Choosing the right fishing pole will make your time on the lake more pleasurable. Fishing can be frustrating enough with the right equipment, if you have the wrong equipment, well--to quote the old adage, " your up the creek without a paddle." And if your competitive like I am, you want every advantage you can get. Having the right pole, for the right situation, will give you an advantage.
There are basically two types of fishing poles: with the exception of fly-fishing rods. You have the traditional rod for open face, spin-casting reels. And then you have your rods for baitcasting reels. There is one clear distinction between the two. It's the guides that you thread your line through. Spin-casting reels will have a considerably bigger first guide and the second guide will also be significantly bigger. It's because of the design. The spool is actually spinning side ways to the rod, it's the bail on the reel that lines the line up with the pole. Therefore, you need a bigger first and second guide. If you don't have the right rod, and the first and second guides are small, this will cause friction on your line as it passes through the guides. As a result, your line will get weak and cause you to lose a lot of fish. This will also cause a lot more tangles on your spool.
If you have a bait casting reel, then choose a rod with smaller guides. If you go to any sporting goods store, look at their fishing pole combos. Look at the difference between the guides for baitcasting combos verses the spin-casting combos. This does make a big difference.
Fast action, medium action, and slow action fishing poles will fall under one of these three categories. I have watched the fishing pole industry move from slow action rods; to fast action rods, and medium action rods. Fast action rods are more popular today for their quick hook sets and sensitivity. These rods are stiffer, as a result, you can fill those softer strikes and you will be able to cast a little farther. The down side is, if you have a hard hook-set, your more likely to jerk the bait right out of the fishes mouth. And with the stiffer, fast action rods, the fish has a better chance of getting off once you set the hook.
The slow-action rods are more flexible. They start to bend about half way up the pole. So when you hook a fish, these rods will absorb some of the blow from the fish fighting to get off. This will help you land more fish. If you have a hard hook-set, then you might want to go with a slow-action rod so you don't jerk the hook out of the fishes mouth. A slow-action rod also gives that fish a second longer to swallow your bait-- this can also lead to you landing more fish. Medium action-rods are a good compromise between the two and are the most commonly used poles today.
Length does matter: A longer pole will benefit you when it comes to casting, simply put, you can cast farther with a longer pole. Longer poles are better for certain fishing strategies. If your using a leader, and your bait is about two feet or more from your sinker: you are going to need a long swooping hook-set. A longer pole is more appropriate for this situation. If your bait fishing from the shore and you want to get your bait out as far as you can, a longer pole would be to your benefit. On the other hand, if your pitching your bait around docks, under piers, are in thick weed beds; a shorter pole would be more appropriate. When you need to be accurate, and distance is not an issue, a shorter pole would be the right choice.

in his " Amateur Rodmaking
Beyond a doubt the best fly fishing rod material is good bamboo properly selected, cured, split, glued, and correctly proportioned. It possesses strength combined with lightness, resiliency, pliancy, power and balance in greater degree than either steel or solid woods.
Formerly anglers and rod makers could draw fine distinctions between male and female Calcutta and Tonkin " canes," but under present conditions good Calcutta is very rare and the word " Calcutta " is beoming merely a trade term. Good bamboo of all kinds is more difficult to obtain and a good piece of Tonkin is better than an indifferent one of Calcutta. Male Calcutta, however, is supposed to be superior to either the female or Tonkin. The cheapest split cane is known as steel vine or African cane. It is light colored and makes up into good, inexpensive bamboo fly fishing rods.
Six Strip and 8 Strip Bamboo Fly Fishing Rods
We assume that you know that bamboo is split and then glued together in order to utilize the hard outer enamel and reduce the diameter of the pieces. Some rods are made of bamboo split into six sections (hexgonal) and some in eight (octagonal) but the six strip construction is more often used. Some makers claim that the eight strip, being more nearly a true cylinder, possesses better action but this seems to be more theoretical than practical, while the tiny tips of an eight strip rod are likely to be " soft" due to the comparative amount of glue necessary to hold the pieces together. Eight strip rods cost more than the six strip and if the angler wants a round bamboo fly fishing rod they are preferable to the six strip planed down as planing certainly must injure a rod. As a general rule a well-made six strip rod leaves little to be desired.
Special Feature Bamboo Fly Fishing Rods
A novelty in bamboo fly fishing rod making is what is known as the " double built " rods which are made of two layers of split and glued bamboo, one within the other. They are heavier and strong, and it is claimed, hold their shape better, than ordinary rods and are popular for sea and salmon fishing but unnecessary, I believe, in single hand fly rods. An English innovation is the steel center rod which consists of a fine piece of well-tempered steel running as a core through sections of regular split bamboo. The makers claim this construction gives a rod of superior casting power with only of an ounce added weight. Friends who possess rods of this kind are enthusiastic admirers of this construction for heavy fishing.
An American maker supplies a rod of " twisted bamoo " which he claims equalizes the strain and prouces better action. I have never tried a rod of this type so am unable to pass on its merits, but Perry Frazer, in his " Amateur Rodmaking," speaks well of it.
