Fishing rod types used in fishing differ according to the type of fish to be hunted, the fishing technique and the conditions of the environment. In this article, we will try to give you brief information about the different types of fishing rods used in fishing.
Fly Fishing Rods
Designed for hunting with artificial insect-like baits that include a hook, usually attached to feathers, foam, or lightweight materials. Fly rods are thin and flexible fishing rods made of composite materials such as fiberglass, carbon/graphite or graphite/boron. Fly rods use the weight of the string to shoot. A monofilament fishing line called the leader is attached to the end of a special and thicker rope, and fly baits are attached to its end. These rods are classified according to the fish to be hunted, the environmental conditions and the weight of the rope to be used. Heavier, larger baits can be thrown with thicker and heavier ropes. Fly rods have different sizes from 0 to 15 numbers. Most fly rods do not have a handle to prevent tangling.
Tenkara Fishing Rods
Tenkara rods are a type of rod used for tenkara fishing, a technique unique to Japan. They are like a mix of different types of carbon rods, fly rods and telescopic rods. Their length generally varies between 3 - 4 meters. Tenkara reeds are classified according to the number of hard and bendable parts. The standard variants are 5:5, 6:4, 7:3 and 8:2, 5:5 is a softer and slower reed, and 8:2 is a harder reed. As the sensitivity of the fish to the hit and weight increases, the value of the rod increases. Tenkara reeds do not have guides and reels, the rope is tied directly to the end of the reed.
Bait Casting Rods
Bait Casting Rods are rods designed to hold the special spool mounted on the top of the handle. These rods have small guides and a grip trigger for an index finger, making it easy to control the rod. Bait Casting rods are very similar to Spinning rods, some rods are even designed for both types of reels. Bait Casting rods are suitable for both hunting disciplines and are often referred to as horse pull rods. Bait casting rods, which are stronger and harder than spinning rods, can thus use thicker rope and work under higher pressure.
Spin Hunting Rods
Spinning Rods' stem is made using cork or PVC foam, and the stem is made using graphite or fiberglass. Their lengths range from 1.5 meters to 3 meters. Spinning rods have 6 to 10 guides to control the rope and provide better performance during shooting. The dimensions of the guides decrease from the stem to the tip, with the largest first. During the first guide shot closest to the reel, the output of the rope released from the reel is larger than the others to create less friction. The spinning reel is fixed to the bottom of the reed by a spool bearing. Spinning rods are the most common rods used in today's fishing. These rods, which are found in a wide range from freshwater fishing to saltwater fishing, have become the basic element in the fishing of almost all fish species with their different structures.
Light Rods
Technically, these rods, which use small reels, thin rope and smaller baits, are generally used to catch small fish species. LRF technique has become very popular in recent years. rods in the Spinning discipline they have been used for a long time. They are often preferred for freshwater fish such as perch, trout, cassava or larger stone fish to add excitement to the hunt. Technically, they are the same as spinning rods. Ultra-Light rods are generally shorter, lighter and more flexible. Its actions range from slow to fast, depending on the intended use.
Ice Fishing Rods
Modern ice reeds, ranging in length from 60 to 90 cm, are very short. Classic ice canes, which have a simple construction with a simple wooden handle, a pair of guides and two hooks attached to the front of the handle, used for winding rope, are also still used. Ice rods are used for fishing from holes drilled on the frozen lake.
Surf Casting Rods
The most common type of rod used in sea fishing, surf casting method. Surf casting rods are long-handled, oversized rods designed for two-handed shooting techniques. They usually have a length of 3-5 meters. These reeds are strong and strong as well as their long stature.
Troll Hunting Rods
Trawl fishing is a fishing method based on fishing by floating bait from a moving boat. These rods were developed for durability rather than shooting and ergonomics. These rods, in which high-capacity spinning wheels are located at the top of the rod, are designed to withstand the pressure of large fish. While other shore rods have the ability to absorb the pressure exerted by the fish by stretching, this task is left to the spinning reels and durable ropes in trolling rods. In trolling rods, roller guides are used to carry the rope instead of the ring guides.
Telescopic Fishing Rods
Telescopic fishing poles are long fishing rods that can shrink with their interlocking structures. These features allow them to be easily transported. Telescopic fishing poles are also made of the same material as segmented poles. They are designed to intertwine and shrink from materials such as graphite, carbon, and sometimes fiberglass. The maintenance of telescopic fishing poles is the same as any other pole. Telescopic rod is a non-technical structural term. You can get telescopic rods suitable for the technique you have chosen. These reeds are maintained in the same way as other reed types.
