Difference between hard and soft tuning for fishing rods? How to choose?

1, the difference between the elasticity of the fishing rod:

The elasticity of the hard tuned fishing rod is less than that of the soft tuned fishing rod, and the role of the rod body in absorbing and consuming the energy is relatively low, so it is necessary to use a relatively thick fishing line, and it can be used to sneak the fish out of the water in a relatively short period of time.

Soft-adjusted rods can more fully overcome the explosive force of the fish, and more perfectly consume and absorb the power of the fish.

2. The difference in the bending degree of the rods:

Hard tuned rods bend to a lesser extent, soft tuned rods bend to a greater extent.

3, the difference in the scope of use:

Hard-adjusted rods are more suitable for fishing big fish. However, the hard tuning rod body is too hard, lifting the rod too hard is very easy to break the rod phenomenon.

Soft-adjusted rods are suitable for catching small fish; it is easy to utilize the elastic tension of the rod to cast the fishing group. However, it is difficult to control the fish if you are new to using a soft-tuned rod.

Structure of a Fishing Rod:

1.

An ordinary fishing rod consists of a number of hollow sections, when not in use nested put away, when used in order to pull out or plug group up.

The thinnest section of the rod is called section 1; from the inside to the outside, that is, from thin to thick, section 2, section 3 ... And so on.

The No. 1 section is also known as the sub-section, and the thickest section with the handle is called the handle section or knob section, also known as the B-section. The rods have as few as 3 to 5 sections, and as many as 7 to 8 sections, and even 10 sections on some of the most innovative stream rods.

The more sections you have, the shorter the rod is, the easier it is to carry, but the weaker it is. Therefore, short rods are generally used as streamer rods.

2, rod cap:

In the contracted state of the rod, specifically for the cover, fixed or protective guide eye accessories.

Isocial rods, sea rods generally have a cap: straight cap, triangular cap and iso fishing rod cap, etc., the color is transparent, translucent, black and gunmetal. Guard cap requirements and fishing rod thickness consistent, too large, it is easy to fall and break the guide eye.

Too small a cap is easy to damage and may damage the guide eye, so too big and too small are not acceptable.

The rod cap of the hand rod, generally simplified for the insertion of the style of the front plug, the front plug is generally made of wood or rubber. Wooden rod cap after a long time, easy to shrink lead to very easy to fall off; rubber elastic, elasticity is appropriate, has become a commonly used rod cap material.

The design of the rod cap is also varied, some of the high-end brands, have their own unique rod cap design, to attract anglers to buy.

3, guide eye:

Guide eye, also known as the guide ring, guide ring, is specially designed to go fishing line accessories, is iso fishing, sea fishing, boat rods necessary accessories. The guide ring requires high strength, low friction resistance, good thermal conductivity, and consistent with the fishing rod fishing.

General guide ring consists of bracket and wire ring, the bracket material are stainless steel, required not to rust and can not be too soft; wire ring material for ceramic ring and silicon carbide mostly.

General guide ring has one or two center ring, with two center ring, the middle ring material for ceramic, the outside of the colored ring (also known as vibration damping ring) material for plastic, generally belongs to the lower grade of the guide eye; the center ring is only a guide eye of a higher grade, the material is generally silicon carbide.

The topmost guide eye is generally called the top guide eye or top guide eye, to the thick end of the number is generally called 2 #, 3 #, 4 # guide eye, until the last guide eye.

The model of the guide eye itself has many different types because of the bracket size and shape, color, material of the center ring, etc., but the specification number is relatively easy to grasp, mainly refers to the installation of the wire ring bracket inner diameter to take the whole number of the specifications for the guide eye type.

4, wheel seat:

Also known as the card seat, is a special accessory in the rod fixed fishing reel. There are two main types, a tube wheel seat, a plate wheel seat, the former is used for ordinary sea fishing rods, the latter is mainly used for iso fishing rods.

The main body of the tubular reel seat is generally divided into two materials: plastic and nylon, and the metal part is generally made of stainless steel. Tubular reel seat is divided into many varieties, the fixed fishing reel card foot part of the stainless steel, it is called ordinary wheel seat; if the stainless steel part of the internal plastic foot, it is called with padded wheel seat.

Comparatively speaking, a wheel base with a liner is less likely to snag a fishing reel, and is of a higher grade than a regular wheel base without a liner.

5, handle:

Also known as the handle or grip, is in the fishing process has been grasped in the hand accessories. Hand rod is generally cotton thread handle, nylon thread handle or rubber handle, generally preferred rubber handle, anti-pollution and anti-slip. Sea rod and other commonly used material is EVA foam, there are a variety of colors.

Foreign more use of cork material, the price is also higher than EVA, is a specialized cork bark imported from Portugal processed and made of cork, compared to the EVA foam handle has many advantages,

6, the tail piece:

Also known as the tail plug, is to play a role in the protection of the bottom of the rod body and decorative fishing rod. All of the pull (also known as shrinkage type or antenna type) fishing rod tail piece is with a wire buckle, in order to facilitate the anglers in the fishing process and after fishing can be readily disassembled tail piece and pour the rod body of dust and water.

Regular plug-in fishing rods do not have snap fasteners on the tailpiece. Boat fishing rod tail piece is often cross flower, mainly with the belt or boat cross buckle groove, the purpose is to fix the rod does not swing side to side in the big fish when it is not easy to control.

7, lost hand ring:

It refers to the fishing rod installed in the tail of the fixed and prevent the use of fishing rod lost hand accessories. Generally there are two kinds, one is a thicker one for boat use, and one is a thinner one for iso fishing rods and freshwater fishing rods.

7, hooks:

The hooks are temporarily fixed in the fishing process of the special accessories, there are also similar specialized fixed line with the line clip. These accessories are very commonly used in Roadrunner rods and foreign rods.
