How to choose a fishing rod (fishing rod selection)

Fishing rod is one of the essential weapons for fishing, the good or bad of the rod directly affects the fishing process. How to choose a fishing rod which has become the topic of most fishing enthusiasts often talk about, in view of this I collected some information on the Internet on how to choose a fishing rod for everyone's reference, at the same time to say that the choice of a fishing rod do not blindly pursue the high price, suitable for their own is the most appropriate!

A How to choose a fishing rod

First look at the rod's outer paint surface is smooth, there is no bulging bubbles, or paint impurities and left uneven, you can use your hands to touch. Then look at each section of the rod mouth is neat, wall thickness is uniform. It is important to look at both the front and back.

After looking at the appearance, each section of the rod all pulled out, and then insert the rod in the opposite direction after a section, for example, a rod from the tip of the rod backward **** six sections, then the first section of the tip of the rod in the opposite direction of the insertion of the second section, to see the rod mouth outside the tip of the residual amount of length, at least in the more than 2 centimeters, and in turn, the second section of the reverse direction of the insertion of the third section. This method is used to check the amount of overlap in the rod internal connection, the overlap should be in the normal should be between 2.5 centimeters and 5 centimeters.

After checking the amount of overlap in the rod, after the rod is assembled, pull out all the rods one section at a time to unfold them, and then gently shake the rod to see if there is any unusual sound, if there is, it means that there is a gap in a certain part of the interface, and the overlap is not tight. After checking which section, the overlap will be tight, and then gently shake again, if there is still this phenomenon, then the price is even lower can not buy. Because this kind of rod increases your chances of breaking the rod, folding the line and running away from the fish. While checking the rod as a whole, pay attention to which part of the rod starts to bend when you gently shake it, and we will know why the rod is tuned.

Put the fully extended rod on a finger and slowly adjust it until the rod is in a balanced state, then the point where your finger is on the rod is the rod's point of gravity, and the more the point of gravity is toward the tip of the rod, the more gravity is toward the rod's tip, then the rod's gravity is mostly toward the front. A normal rod's point of gravity should be no higher than the first section. Lastly, remember to ask the owner of the tackle shop if the rod has original sections and other after-sales service issues. When everything is clear, you can buy it

Two How to choose a fishing rod

A well-made rod with a beautiful shape not only allows you to enjoy the pleasure of fishing, but also reduces physical exertion and ensures that the number and weight of the catch, so how to choose a fishing rod has become a crucial issue for beginners. Each rod has its own applicability and relevance, and beginners should choose a rod based on a number of factors at the beginning of the selection and purchase.

How to choose a handy and satisfactory fishing rod, I think we should consider the following aspects: First, what is the object of fishing fish species, is the carp or carp; second is the nature of fishing, is the nature of recreational fishing or competitive fishing; third is the material of the fishing rod, is the fiberglass or carbon fiber; fourth is the tuning of the fishing rod, is the two-eighths of the tuning or the three-sevenths of the tuning, four-sixths of the tuning; fifth is the length of the rod, also includes the use of long sections or the use of a long section of the rod. The first is the length of the rod, including whether to use a long section or a short section of the rod; the sixth is the family income status, and so on.

Choose a fishing rod should grasp the main points: the first step, first check the appearance. Look at the body of the rod text and pattern is clear, whether it is clear: whether the "three no" products; there is no ISO-9000 quality certification text; the second step, the rod with armpit clamp, from the most detailed draw, section by section inspection, to see whether there are cracks and scratches, between the section of the joints and section of the grinding gap; the third step, and then look at the rod is straight, and then shake your hand a few times, feel whether it is straight, and then see whether it is straight, and then see whether it is straight. The third step is to see if the rod body is straight, shake your hand a few times, feel whether there is a "gada" sound, if there is such a sound, it means that the rod mouth grinding is not good; the fourth step will be the last end of the rod body leakage cover open, check the ends of each section to see the inner wall cleanliness, to see whether the wall of each section of the rod is uniform; the sixth step, and finally look at the rod's tuning, whether it is in line with the requirements of angling.

I hope that beginners in the grasp of the main points on the basis of, but also comparison shopping, for their own to buy a real price satisfied with the fishing rod.

Three How to choose a fishing rod

The first thing you need to do is to look at where the manufacturer is, many fake products are labeled as being produced in Japan, South Korea, and the price is cheap, you have to be careful, the real rods in the rod box more than the name of the manufacturer is labeled or trademarks most of the Chinese instructions, do not just look at the packaging is beautifully foreign words recognized as imports.

The weight of the rod is the weight after removing the front and rear plugs and line handles. There are a lot of manufacturers who mark the weight of the rod very low in order to sell it, so don't just look at the labeling on the package and ignore the real weight of the rod. Self-weight low does not mean that the rod must be made of high-carbon carbon cloth, there are individual manufacturers in pursuit of high profits and the use of very low carbon cloth to do the rod, or the rod wall to do some of the thin, the length of some poor, so that the cost savings of the product out of the hand up to the feel of the hand is also very light, and then put the packaging to do a good job to confuse the anglers. This is not a guarantee of the strength of the rod.

The carbon cloth used in fishing rods is generally divided into high carbon, medium carbon, low carbon and carbon skin rods. Some manufacturers use the percentage of carbon content labeled on the rod to mislead us. In fact, the real good rod in addition to the high carbon content in addition to many also have a reinforcing wire around to improve the strength of the rod. Many substandard rods are drawn with reinforcing wire, which can be seen in the back of the mouth. Hollow tipped rods feel better than solid tipped rods, but solid tipped rods have the advantage in hardness and strength, so you should still buy according to your actual requirements. In the reservoir fishing for large fish anglers are best to choose to increase the wall thickness of the rod, and beginners or choose a moderate hardness of the rod, both can be very good control of the fish, the feel of the rod will also be more comfortable, the price is also moderate.

Generally speaking, the goods of the regular manufacturers than the goods of small manufacturers price is slightly higher, but its production equipment is advanced, quality and after-sales service are more reliable, the source of raw materials used is also guaranteed, so we still recommend that you buy the regular manufacturers of fishing tackle.

Four How to choose a fishing rod

The first first from the rod's appearance, due to the current technology and technological advances, the coating is quite gorgeous, anglers as long as you pick their favorite style on it.

Secondly, you need to grip the handle to feel the comfort of the rod. A good fishing rod, the handle is a very important part. After pulling out the rod (make sure you do pull out each section) check the rod's curvature and bend, a good rod has to have a smooth curved shape, which is the key that rod designers pay most attention to. There should be no "corners" between each section, otherwise, this is where the rod will break

Pick up the rod and toss it around a few times. If each section of the rod doesn't fit together well enough, it will make a sound when you toss it around, and the rod will break easily when you catch a big fish. If all of these parts qualify as a good fishing rod, you can put each section of the rod away and open the screw cap on the tip. You have to take a close look at each section to see if the thickness of the rod wall is even. Good rod-making techniques with good materials can surely create rods with the same thickness of the rod wall.

V How to choose a fishing rod

(a) Check the coloring on the surface of the rod.?

1. The color of the rod with the consumer's preferences, but the original transparent paint is better, because the transparent paint hardness is good, not easy to fall off the paint, easy to see the flaws of the material, the other colors have to lay primer, primer, such as too thick will increase the weight of the rod, so as to affect the rod's coordination, and lay primer surface color is easy to fall off the paint.

2. Check whether there is any color difference between each section of the rod, so as not to affect the beauty of the rod.

3. Check whether the surface coloring produces bubbles or impurities, if there are bubbles or impurities, the rod is easy to break.

(2) Check the durability of the fishing rod.

1. Pull out each section of the rod, the finer the first few sections, with two hands to grasp the ends of the rod so that the rod bends, if the curvature of its bending arc is uneven, or its bending point in the latter half of the section, the rod will be easy to break. The thicker sections are not easy to bend, the rod can be properly compressed with two hands, if the rod wall is too soft or have a tearing sound, the rod is also easy to break. In general, consumers check the fishing rod is the whole branch out and then bending, this method is incorrect, not detailed enough.

2. Check the cuts on both ends of the rod. The thinner end of the rod is prone to cracking when fishing, so check its strength and whether the cuts are neat. The thicker end of the rod wall should not be too thick, such as too thick will increase the weight of the entire rod, and a section of a section of the articulation is not easy to tighten, which will affect the performance of the entire rod.

(3), check the rod accessories.

1. Is the first section of the tail fixed?

2. Whether the front plug cover is easy to break or loose.

3. Whether the guide ring and reel seat are cracked or loose.

4. Whether the stop-slip paint on the handle will fall off, and whether the nylon line is wound tightly.

6 How to choose a fishing rod

Fishing rod buying tips, any good fishing rod is to be used in the appropriate purpose, in order to make the characteristics of the rod to play the most effective, in the purchase of a fishing rod at the same time in addition to understand the "I want to fish what fish, how big fish," I also recommend that readers read the rod box instructions, from which you can get to the rod. I also recommend that readers read the rod box to get a better idea of what you want to know about the rod and its range of application. I have briefly introduced some of the basic points of rod selection, and I hope this will be of some help to our readers.

Every fishing rod has its own applicability and target fish, so when you buy a fishing rod, you have to choose one for your own fishing style and the size of the fish you are fishing for, and of course, the economic factor has to be taken into account as well. The following is an introduction to the key points of rod selection and the details to be noted when selecting a rod, which I believe will be of great help to the general fishing community in the purchase of new rods.

First of all, you have to realize that there is no such thing as a "universal rod". You have to choose a rod that is suitable for the species you want to fish for and the way you want to fish, and then you have to choose the rod that you want after you have set it up.

Generally speaking, a reputable, quality-controlled rod factory will accurately mark the first diameter, metric diameter, weight, size, and number of steps on the packaging of its products, but unfortunately, anglers will only notice the weight of the rods and the weight of the hand held rods when choosing rods. In fact, I am quite skeptical about this point, in fact, a reputable rod factory in the beginning of the development of the rod, the rod will be suitable for the fishing species, the weight of the load of the fish, suitable for fishing methods and other factors to design and develop a suitable rod, which contains the ergonomics, stress, leverage, the use of materials and other design concepts, the degree of its specialized professional as well as high-tech products. The design concepts of these rods include ergonomics, stress, leverage, materials, etc. The degree of specialization is no less than that of high-tech products, and the author will introduce the design concepts of hand rods in the form of diagrams.

The general points of rod selection and rod tuning discussion, in order to facilitate the readers to choose a way of fishing, by [Figure 1] in which we can clearly understand that a long life and durable rod design, is necessary as shown in the figure of the way to manufacture, in the first curve (i.e., the angle of the fish), the whole of the fish's outburst of force must be able to be very uniformly distributed in the rod between the first to the third section, this place is called 'counter-propulsion force', which is called the 'counter-propulsion force'. In the first curve (i.e. the angle at which the fish is caught), the explosive force of the fish must be evenly distributed between the first and the third section of the rod, which is called the "Reverse Force Zone", a well-designed rod can show its superiority at this point, and distribute the force of the fish's struggle evenly in this section, which not only makes it difficult for the fish to take off the hook and run away, and makes it difficult for the line to break, but also relies on the rod's stress so that the angler doesn't have to use too much force to bring the fish to the second and third curves, and the second and third curves are called the boobies' zones. In this section, because of the angle of the upward, so that the counter-propulsion more and more to the front of the section, that is, the greater the angle of the rod, the counter-propulsion of the section is smaller, and finally the fish force disappeared to the fish down the net -.

There are some rods that are made shorter than others to emphasize their tuning and stiffness, i.e., the diameter of the rod decreases below the handle section, which results in the backdriving force being concentrated at one point as shown in Figure 2, and what are the consequences?

First, the rod is more prone to breakage. If it is not prone to breakage, then the wall thickness of the rod should be strengthened to increase the unnecessary weight.

Secondly, the rod will age earlier, because the pivot point is always in the same place, the force can not be evenly distributed to the other parts of the rod, of course, the rod will easily soften and decay.

Thirdly, anglers get tired easily. Due to the leverage effect, anglers need to put extra effort on the rod, and of course, they get tired easily.

The next step is to talk about the rod's trolling performance. In fact, the rod's trolling performance is a very abstract term, how to determine it? How to determine whether the rod is a one-nine, two-eight or three-seven tuning? Maybe readers will use the old concept of "look at the rod after the force after the bending angle to determine its fishing", OK, the problem is, the rod by force? How small is the force, 300 grams or 1000 grams? In fact, each rod is not necessarily the same degree of force, how to distinguish? It should be designed to target the size of the fish body to determine, but it also involves the rod feel the weight of the points, what is called fishing rod rod weight? When the center of gravity is shifted forward, you will feel that the rod seems to be heavier, and vice versa, you will think that it is lighter. Then the question arises, why not shift the center of gravity of the rod backward, and then it will feel lighter? No, the rod with the center of gravity shifted forward is for you to use it when the fishing body is bigger, because the counter-propulsion force will be increased when the center of gravity is shifted forward, so the angler can use the flexibility of the rod to reduce the force used by him/her when he/she is fishing, so don't you think that every fishing rod has a special purpose? As long as you choose the right fishing rod, you can not only enjoy the fun of fishing, but also make you relaxed and happy.

Consolidated the above points, I will buy a good fishing rod is summarized into the following key points, the fishing enthusiasts can be based on their own needs to choose a suitable rod for their own, 1, softness, hardness, 2, yuan diameter, 3, weight, 4, balance point, 5, the start of the speed of the fish and so on the five major items: here I am not tired of emphasizing the key point, don't be lost by the rod's appearance, the same weight of the rod, in different loads, the weight of the rod, the weight of the rod, the weight of the rod, the weight of the rod, the weight of the rod, the weight of the rod, the weight of the rod, the weight of the rod, and so on. The same weight rod will feel different when loaded with different loads, and the weight center of gravity of the rod will depend on the purpose of your use.

The next thing I'd like to introduce is the material aspect of the rod and the processing method. Almost all of the rods on the market today are carbon fiber rods, and the carbon fiber material used is almost impossible for outsiders to understand except for the factories themselves, which can only be known from the advertisements about the materials used. This is the reason, I have internal information from the Japanese original factory at hand for readers' reference, and it is necessary to use the company's materials to be labeled on the top of the rod, where NVC represents the rod's carbon fiber material is senior lightweight, and SNVC represents the highest level of ultra-lightweight carbon fiber material, of course, in addition to the material grade, in the entire rod making process, the impact on the rod can be said to be a decisive position. In addition to the general processing method, there is the so-called Loop processing method, i.e., a layer of carbon fiber cloth is rolled and rapped on the outside of the rod embryo to imitate the transverse reinforcement, and this kind of rods is of course more durable, but at present there is a kind of processing method called LASER. With the overlapping wraps, not only is the strength increased by 120%, but the surface is also smoother and more aesthetically pleasing.
