About Fishing Rods
How to choose a rod
Pick by technique first, then refine by target species and conditions:
- By technique — light, fast-tipped rods for LRF and finesse; longer, powerful blanks for shore jigging and surfcasting; balanced casting and spinning rods for bass and lure work; specialist actions for eging (squid and cuttlefish).
- By species — match the casting weight and power rating to your quarry, from delicate trout, grayling and mullet through to hard-pulling cod, pollack and pike.
- By conditions — a longer rod buys distance and line control over rough ground and surf; a shorter, lighter rod gives sensitivity and accuracy in close, snaggy water.
