Fishing Frenzy

If you want to buy a new fishing rod, it is not as easy as it seems. People often get the wrong rod when they go to the store. Usually this is because the guy in the store will try to sell them anything just to get a sale.

To find the perfect rod for your fishing can seem nearly impossible. There are so many producers and brands out there on the market that you will have to be some kind of expert to find just what you need. However, a little knowledge will get you well on your way.

Be sure to know what casting weight you are looking for when buying a rod. It limits your options considerably and gives you a much easier job. This is the most important thing about a rod.

If you get the casting weight wrong you will have trouble for one of two reasons. The first one is that if you get a rod that is meant for heavy lures while you are fishing with light lures, you will never get your lure out to where the fish is.

It is just as bad to get a rod that is too light. The rod will be in great danger of either breaking or betting serious injury when casting with lures that are to heavy. You will also have big problems getting your fish in to shore, and the rod might even break then.

Fishing rods are usually dealt in to different classes. The first one is ultra light action. This is of course for the lightest fishing you can imagine in streams and small ponds.

Upwards we have light action, medium action and medium heavy action. All these rods are perfect for the situations they are meant to be used for.

The last category is the heavy action rods. These rods is what you can call the bad boys of fishing. Usually very stiff and hard, they are perfect to fish for the biggest species out there.
