Is it better to have a softer or stiffer fishing rod?

Whether a fishing rod is softer or harder:

First of all, whether to use a softer rod or a harder rod depends on what kind of fish you are fishing for and where you are fishing.

Generally speaking, wild fishing, with a softer rod, so that you can match the fine line Bo big fish, black pit around the big cities, especially around the big cities in the north is common, usually a fixed time to put a certain number of fish, to collect a fixed number of fish tickets, how much the catch of fish to the anglers in general, then try to use a hard rod, plus a thicker line number, which ensures that the return of fish fast.

The Chaobai River, where the respondent is located, the common species of fish is one or two or three small carp, occasionally there are individual half a catty to two or three pounds of carp, catfish and other species of fish, but it is very rare, I play in the Chaobai River wildlife fishing for two years, only a half a catty of crucian carp, and saw an old man on a catfish more than a catty.

So the general line with the line is this line, if you use a hard rod, the fish have no sense of touch, do not feel the pleasure of the fish.

So when fishing on the Chaobai River, you usually use a particularly soft and thin rod, and the thickest part of the rod is even only cigarette thick.

The reservoir is generally more big fish, but also unpredictable, may be two or three pounds, may also be a burst of luck encountered more than 10 pounds, dozens of pounds of big fish.

The target fish of black pits are very clear, take the carp pits that the respondent frequented this year as an example, occasionally there are individual pits that will release some big fish of more than ten pounds as the treasure of the town pit.

Another characteristic of black pits is that they are crowded, and the fishing spots are so close together, or even narrower, that hard rods must be used.

The purpose is to be able to quickly pull the fish straight back and plunge it when it is on, and when it is being fished, the mouth of the fish is very fast, and often encounters the situation of continuous rod.

Rapidly returning to the fish can make their own fishing frequency faster, on the other hand, also to ensure that the fish do not let the left and right rush to affect the left and right side of the anglers.

Non-fishing days, generally known as stealing donkeys or picking up the slack, the mouth of the fish is slower, and there are fewer anglers, you can use discretion to use a slightly softer rod, with a thinner line, the mouth of the fish can be a little better.

But in my experience, most people are too lazy to change their rods and still use their usual rods.

The big thing pit, the sturgeon pit, the answer has not played, but fishing sturgeon rod are special sturgeon rod, and another deep pit, easily or not jumping pit good.

So, to summarize, the choice of rod, depending on where you fish, the size of the target fish and other factors.

Soft and hard are relatively speaking hard means that the rod is strong on the waist when the fish can let the fish in accordance with the angler's idea, soft means that the rod can be very good cushioning the impact of the fish, in fact, to put it bluntly is the fish do not struggle when the rod to be as straight as a stick, when the fish struggle, the rod can be like a spring like a cushioning effect with the rubber band of the principle is similar.
