How to distinguish between good and bad fishing rods

Distinguishing between good and bad fishing rods is mainly determined by the quality of the rod, the tuning of the rod, and the selection of the rod material in three aspects.

1, from the quality of the rod to judge

(1) check the interface, each section of the rod are extended out, and then check the gap of each interface, the gap at the interface should be within 20 silk, if a rod of each interface more than this range, it is bad interface.

(2) Unscrew the back plug of the rod, take out each section of the rod one by one, and first observe the ends of each section to see if the wall thickness is uniform.

(3) Check the inner wall of the rod against the light, the inner wall must be glossy and no rolled interface can be seen.

2, from the selection of fishing rod material judgment

Most of the fishing rods on the market are made of two kinds of materials, one is fiberglass products, a pure carbon or carbon products to add enhanced material.

The two different materials with very high strength are mixed with different resins and then made into different sizes of cloth, which are made through the process of rolling, drying, cutting and painting. The carbon material is electrically conductive and the fiberglass fishing rod is insulating. There is also a significant difference in weight between the two materials, with carbon rods being much lighter compared to rods of the same length and tuning.

3, from the rod's tuning to judge

About the rod's tuning tuning refers to the degree of softness of the rod. In the rod to bear the weight of the inevitable bending, hard tuned rod bending smaller, soft tuned rod bending larger.
