Novice fishing, how to choose a fishing rod that suits you? from toboutdoors's blog
The fishing rod is an essential tool for fishing, so how to choose a fishing rod? This question stumps many new fishing friends. New to fishing, I don’t know much about fishing rods, and I often choose a fishing rod that I am not satisfied with. Let’s talk about how to choose a fishing rod that suits you.
1. Look at the size of the fishing rod
There are many sizes of fishing rods, ranging from one meter to more than ten meters, which is convenient for everyone to use in different waters. A novice’s mistake in choosing a fishing rod is that he catches big fish with a long rod and catches small fish with a short rod, completely ignoring his own needs. For example, if the surrounding rivers are not so wide, they are all river ditches that are not too wide, so there is no need to use too long rods. The pole, generally at a size of 4.5 meters, can handle most of the waters.
2. Look at the hardness of the fishing rod
The softness and hardness of the fishing rod are related to the fishing experience, as well as the speed of controlling and loading the fish. The harder the fishing rod, the larger the line group will be required, and vice versa, the softer the line group will be. Black pit fishing usually chooses hard rods. According to the tonality, it is usually at 19, and according to the hardness, it is usually above 6H. Wild fishing requires a soft rod with a tonality between 37 and 28, and the hardness is at 2. Between 5H and 5H is enough.
3. Look at the target fish and choose the rod
Which kind of fish you want to catch depends on which kind of fishing rod you choose. This is actually related to the softness and hardness of the fishing rod. If we go fishing for crucian carp in the wild, then there is no need to choose a very hard fishing rod, because the line group used to catch crucian carp will not be very large, 37 adjustment 2 to 3H is more suitable, and the bending of the hard rod is too low and it is easy to cut the line. For large fish such as carp and grass carp, it is more suitable to choose a comprehensive rod with 28 adjustments. It can control fish stably and give consideration to both large and small fish.
4. Look at the price of the fishing rod
The price of fishing rods is also an aspect that misleads novices. I always feel that the expensive ones are easy to catch! I personally suggest that there is no need to buy too expensive fishing rods for recreational fishing, of course, you can omit them if you have good financial strength! The more expensive the fishing rod is, the better it is. No matter how good the fishing rod is given to you in the novice period, it is easy to break. Why? Because there is no fishing experience, expensive fishing rods are relatively brittle, which requires fishermen to have certain fishing experience. Novices should choose those with a few dozen or a hundred to practice their hands.
Friends who are new to fishing do not have a deep understanding of fishing rods. Many of them just read the nonsense from the masters. In the end, they either bought the size that is not needed, or the hardness is not suitable, and it is not practical after spending money. Novice fishing should lay a good foundation, start from their own needs and keep everything simple, and don't aim too high.
