Q - What is a Fishing Rod?

A - A fishing rod is basically a stick to catch fish along with reel and fishing a line. A fishing rod can be made up from a few materials such as fiberglass, wood or steel. Fishing rods came a long way, in the past people use to take a piece a tree branch tie some string on it and use a nail as a hook. As we know it times have changed, fishing rods are top notch these days.

Q - Are all fishing rods the same?

A - No each fishing rod is made with a different purpose for example, a Muskey fishing rod will not even come close to what a Perch fishing rod should be like. The flexability, the length and the strength of a fishing rod will determine what type of fish it can be used for. You wounld't use a thick and heavy rod to catch Perch, right? Each fish requires a different type of a fishing rod, Trout and Salmon fishing rods require to be longer and more flexible and used with a thin fishing line. On the other hand Muskey and Pike fishing requires more stiff and less flexible rods with heavier line capacity.

Q - What to look for in a fishing rod?

A - The very first thing you need to ask yourself is where will you be fishing, fresh water fishing or salt water fishing? Next ask yourself what type of fishing will be done (carp fishing, pike fishing or perch fishing or...whichever type of fish you are going after). Now this will this will give you a general idea what type of fishing rod to look for.Some things to also consider the length, flexibility, material, guides and price of course.

Q - How do I select a fishing rod for a specific bait type?

A - Determine what bait you want to use (prepared bait or manmade bait) Prepared baits are (corn, bread balls, salmon eggs etc...) Manmade baits are (plastic worms, lures, spoons, flies, etc...) Once you know what you will be using then you cut down the selection of your fishing rod choices. Now if you go with a Manmae bait you go into the category which fishing rod will I use with what manmade bait. You can choose from Spinning/Casting Rods, Fly Fishing Rods and even Ocean Fishing Rods, each one serves a different purpose.

Q - Spinning Rods vs Fly Fishing Rods, how are they different and when to use them?

A - Will you be using a fly bait in a river, fishing for trout or salmon? If so your best bet is to get a fly fishing rod. Note It will be harder to learn how to cast the fly fishing rod at first but they are great on shallow water like rivers and creeks. Spinning Rods are usually used more often, they serve more purpose for the everyday fisher man. One spinning rod can accommodate different reels as oppose to a fly fishing rod. Spinning rods can be used for prepared baits as well as manmade baits.
