How to choose a fishing rod?

According to your fishing method to choose including the actual situation of fishing to choose the type of fishing rod Quality choice: the selection process is very important a. Appearance of the coating If a rod's appearance of the appearance of the shape and coating you don't like, don't buy it, after all, you have to face it all the time when you are fishing. The shape of the handle and the feel of the grip are also the first things to consider.　　Second, weight center of gravity The weight of the rod is very important and determines your comfort in casting. Taking 3m6 as an example, it's best not to exceed 80g for a carp rod, 100g for a carp rod and 120g for a fighting rod. In addition to weight, the location of the center of gravity is more important, 3 meters 6 rods are generally better to control the center of gravity, when shopping for all the draw, set up in the index finger to find the center of gravity point, 3 meters 6 must not be more than 1/5, 4 meters 5 not more than 2/9, 5 meters 4 not more than 1/4. Of course, carp rods, especially the center of gravity of the combat rods are more difficult to control than the carp rods.　　Tuning Try to choose a hollow rod tip to avoid head sinking. Pay attention to each section of the tonal changes to have gradient, the most avoided section 1 dead soft, section 2 dead hard, so it is easy to break in the upper part of the second section. Take each section individually to test the tonality: for the first section, hold the 2 heads in 2 hands, bend it slowly and evenly with force, and feel its strength with your hands. Then let go of the tip, let it bounce straight, and feel its elasticity with the hand holding the other end. Then see if there is any deformation of the whole body after bouncing back. The second section, let it lie in the middle part of the palm of the hand on the 4 fingers, and then with the thumb pressure to the middle finger, ring finger on top of the rod part at the same time the middle finger, ring finger relaxation, rely on the index finger and pinky finger on top of the thumb of the pressure, feel the elasticity of the rod, this section can not be too hard, can not be hard to help the feeling. The following is a very important test, the second section of the central part of the thighs across the surface, the 2 palms together, with the palm surface of the light pressure on the rod 2 end and roll in the same direction (rod rolling in the leg surface), back and forth a few times, to feel the rod rolled to any position in a circle, the pressure on the palms of the hands is not a change, the smaller the change the better, preferably there is no change. The third section, 2 hands lightly hold the third section of the 2 end, 4 fingers slightly buckle, thumb outside the top, feel the waist force of the rod, to be quite and brevet.　　Fourth, the quality of details 1, rod plug Rod plug can not be too loose, especially plastic or rubber rod plug. Wooden rod plugs loose a little bit does not matter, can be processed. Processing method: use 502 glue in the rod plug on the 4 sides along the direction of the rod brush 1 to 3 layers (to dry before brushing), and then placed for more than half a day and so it dries hard, and then sanded with fine yarn, sanding side with a wet towel to wipe off the grinding dust, the side of the set to the rod to try the degree of tightness.　　2, snakes mouth rope Look at the snakes mouth rope is not thick, with the rod first combination is not wrapped in paint, wrapped evenly. Attention home to use 502 in the snake mouth in the pole first end of the 5 millimeters of the whole part of the point, if the snake mouth rope and the pole first contact part of a section is not glued to death (a lot of rods are like this), must also be used to point 502 dead.　　3, section of the mouth to be round, the upper section of the pull out of the pumping tight to combine closely. The wall thickness of the whole circle should be even.　　4, section under the closure under the closure of the exposed carbon parts must be smooth without any impurities. This part is not painted, but some rods in the production, easy to be transparent varnish coating, if the transparent varnish coating to the part of the area is too large, you must change the section. A good rod has a mochi friction sensation on the hand when it is pulled out and screwed down, and this mochi sensation will become slippery if the exposed carbon area is coated with clear varnish. The lower closure must also be of uniform wall thickness. After returning home, it is best to use fine sandpaper to round the outer edge of each section of the lower closure, so as to avoid jamming (i.e., the rod section can not be closed back).　　5, the inner wall of each section of the rod out to the light to see the inner wall, the inner wall must be smooth and free of impurities, no spots.　　6, after the plug Check the material of the ring to see if it will rust. See if the threads are uniform, and whether there will be a prickly feeling when screwing on. There is no anti-vibration rubber or sponge pads in the back plug.　　Fifth, the rod bag Finally, do not forget to check the quality of the rod bag, a good rod bag can reflect the side of the manufacturer of the rod quality attention. The seams of the pole bag are generally sealed with nylon tape, with a hand gently pull the sealing tape of each part, see whether the stitching is solid.　　Supplementary: 1, the rod is fully pumped out and pumped tightly, holding the rod handle with one hand to vibrate up and down in small increments, left and right, or continuously rowing a small circle to feel the rod's tonality.　　2, the other hand to cover the loss of hand ring (to avoid it make a sound), up and down small amplitude vibration pole, listen to the sound of the crunching, feel the pumping joints combined with whether or not it is tight.　　3, when you go, it is best to bring a bottle of mineral water or Coke (500ml), another 1 meter 5 or so of fishing line, one end of the line with a live knot on the Coke bottle, one end of the main line in accordance with the way to play the section, set to the rod's snout rope (pay attention to the snout rope on the anti-slip joints should not be pumped to death, lest not be able to unravel). Then keep the right amount of water in the bottle (about 3 taels of water for carp rods, about 5 or 6 taels for carp rods, and a full bottle for fighting rods). Hold the rod in one hand and hoist the bottle up to see how much the rod bends and what the quality of the arc is, to see which section the top of the arc is on and if it's the tuning you need. Then gently vibrate your hand and bring it back to see if you can swing the bottle over easily. If the rod has good waist strength and good brevity, the bottle will be easier for the hand holding the rod (because the upward elasticity of the rod makes the bottle have an upward speed), if the rod's waist strength is not good, the rod's force will be crushed by the bottle, and the hand holding the rod will feel very heavy when swinging the bottle. (Of course, when swinging the bottle should pay attention to safety, don't break the pole) This test method is much better than letting the boss pull the pole first, because when someone else pulls the pole first to a certain arc, you don't know how much force he used, and you can't feel whether the pole is being crushed or not (i.e., can't experience the waist strength), you can only feel the hand holding the pole is very heavy.　　If you squeeze the snorkel yourself and let someone else hold the rod, it's hard to appreciate how much force you're putting on the rod, because you need more force to squeeze the snorkel, or it comes off. That's why it's better to test it quantitatively with a coke bottle. The selection process is important I. Appearance and finish If a rod's appearance shape and finish is not to your liking, don't buy it, after all, you'll be facing it all the time when fishing. The shape of the handle and the feel of the grip are also the first things to consider.　　Second, weight center of gravity The weight of the rod is very important and determines your comfort in casting.
