What are the main fishing rods?

Fishing rod fishing rod is a fishing rod, is one of the fishing tackle, is an important part of the fishing tackle. Its weight, length, flexibility, toughness, texture and fishing effect is closely related. From the ancient bamboo, reed or bamboo reed mixed materials, to the 1960s to fiberglass, carbon fiber and fiberglass and carbon fiber mixed materials, to the emergence of today's high-tech products such as computerized automatic fishing equipment, fishing rods unprecedented development, a variety of novel special fishing rods are emerging. The following is an introduction to the different classifications of fishing rods.

1. Types of fishing rodsThere are many types of fishing rods, usually divided into the following categories:

(1) According to the material of the rod can be divided into: bamboo rods, reed rods, fiberglass rods, carbon fiber rods.

①Bamboo rod: bamboo rod is the longest history of use of fishing rods, is the traditional fishing rod. According to written records, the bamboo pole in China has at least 2500 years of history. Bamboo rods have a single section and multiple sections, commercially available bamboo rods to straight insertion of multiple sections. Bamboo rods are inexpensive, good strength, but heavier, larger, less straight, less flexible, now abandoned by most anglers. Because bamboo rods are easy to make, some people like to do it themselves.

When you make your own bamboo poles, it's best to use zhi zhu, zhan zhu, wen zhu, bamboos, small bamboos, etc. The first one should be fully mature; the second one should be fully matured. Bamboo should be fully mature; two should be fully air-dried; three should be thin tube light weight; four should be short section straight; five should be flexible, with a certain load capacity, preferably two or three years of bamboo. The tip of the pole should be made of bamboo, and the one with insect cracks should not be used. Encountered a bent bamboo pole, the first bamboo pole placed on the stove temperature baking, from thick to thin along the section slowly turning baking straight, section scars on the barbs do not cut too deep, so as not to lose the outer skin and injuries rod. The length of each section of the rod to 1.75 meters to 1.80 meters is appropriate, and then lighten with sandpaper, do not remove the bamboo skin, especially in the two sections of the rod plug, to be carefully polished until they match each other compact. Sets the head with a fine line or fine wire winding, at least winding more than 10 centimeters, the inner section of the rod through, fine rod can be inserted separately. If you need to catch big fish, you can install a fishing wheel on the end section of the rod. Durable fishing rod is made. After each fishing, should be wiped clean with a cloth, dry, put into a cloth bag, flat or hanging to prevent deformation and moisture.

②Rutabaga: Rutabaga is a fishing rod made of rutabaga. Reed is a large species in the reed family, with fast growth, the year mature, straight and round, long pole, short section, light and not easy to fall over and other characteristics, it has a thick wall of bamboo, strong, tough, elastic characteristics. Therefore, using it as a fishing rod is good value for money. Just harvested green bamboo water, the rod is heavy and easy to break, need to be half a year after the air-drying before you can use. After air-drying, the reed bamboo is golden yellow, rich in oil and shiny, remove the leaf coat in summer, and place it in a high place indoors to collect. But the rainy season is prone to mold, should be often taken out of the sun for a day or two, or with diesel oil, lard, vegetable oil, etc. will be smeared again, to prevent insect infestation.

The bamboo rod is generally made of two sections of the rod or three sections of the rod, but there are also four sections of the rod, five sections of the rod or six sections of the rod. The production method is the same as the bamboo pole. Reed rods are less labor intensive to use and will not sink when the tip is placed on the surface of the water or water plants. When catching a fish, the rod can be lifted immediately. When you catch a big fish, you can first "circle" with it, and then use the net to copy the fish.

Ruthenium rod, in addition to human factors, generally not easy to break, broken at the socket of the water stains for a long time not dry, mold and decay. Reed rod also has a hard rod and soft rod, which is mainly in the tip of the rod on the thickness, some anglers also use the corresponding dry reeds to do the tip, which also belongs to the "soft rod" category.

3 fiberglass rod: fiberglass rod is made of phenolic resin and glass fiber processing. Fiberglass rods than bamboo rods more lightweight "sturdy", flexible, tough, beautiful, straight rod, easy to carry. Most of the system is built-in telescopic structure. The length of the rod is 3 meters to 9 meters, and the number of sections varies from 3 to 10. Fiberglass rod price is moderate, is the world's anglers use the most of a fishing rod.

4 Carbon fiber rods: also known as carbon rods. Carbon fiber is made of polypropylene cyanide fiber (PAN) or asphalt drawn into silk after high temperature carbonization. Carbon fiber fishing rod is currently the best performance fishing rod, it is lighter than fiberglass rod, higher strength, better abrasion and corrosion resistance, loved by the majority of anglers. However, carbon fiber rods are highly conductive, and should not be used in thunderstorms or around high voltage lines.

(2) According to the softness of the rod tip can be divided into: soft rod, medium-hard rod, hard rod.

①Soft rod: soft rod refers to the soft tip of the rod length of 2 / 5 of the rod. The bending part of the rod from the tip up to the middle of the rod, it has a light, flexible, elastic, not easy to run fish, high sensitivity, through the body of the force is uniform, have a better fishing power and other characteristics. Soft rod is suitable for fishing small and medium-sized fish, mostly used in early spring and late fall. It is also suitable for the middle-aged, the elderly and the physically weak to use because of the labor-saving casting. Its disadvantages are that it is slightly weak when walking the fish, which is not conducive to active fishing; it is not good for beginners to master; and it is not suitable for fishing in dense water and grass.

②Medium-hard rod: Medium-hard rod is a rod with a soft tip that accounts for 3/10 of the rod length. The rod is moderately soft and hard, weak strength, elasticity is also good, moderately tuned and feel, suitable for a variety of fishing waters and fishing methods. The rod tip reacts sensitively after the fish is hooked, and it is a kind of dual-purpose fishing rod.

3 hard rod: hard rod is a rod with soft tip accounting for 1/5 of the rod length. The rod is strong, the body of the rod upright hardness, has a strong fishing power, is conducive to the positioning of the float fishing group casting. Only the tip of the rod bends when catching a fish, and it is easy to stab the hook in the fish's lip when shaking the rod. It is suitable for tournament fishing for big fish and positioning float fishing for pelagic fish, mostly used in summer. Its disadvantages are low sensitivity, the need for good physical casting, the rod body is too hard, fishing for big fish when lifting the rod too hard easy to break the rod.

(3) According to the length of the rod can be divided into: long rod, short rod, medium and long rod.

①Long rod: long rod refers to the length of more than 6 meters fishing rod. Long rods can be cast from a distance, which is conducive to catching big fish with a long line. Because of the big wheel and long line, it is more conducive to the close walking fish lead fish. It is suitable for strong people to fish in wide waters and in front of obstacles. The disadvantage is that the casting to have a larger space, by the fishing point to avoid the existence of bank branches, wires and other things constraints.

②Short rods: Short rods are rods that are less than 2.5 meters in length. Short rod operation is flexible, portable and lightweight, the fishing point of the bank space requirements are not high, the scope of application is wide, is fishing near the water fish or fish ponds in the fish applicable fishing tackle, especially suitable for the elderly anglers in the waters of the narrow place fishing. The disadvantage is that it is not good for long-distance casting, and it is not good for walking and leading fish at a close distance.

③Middle and long rods: Middle and long rods are rods with a length of 2.5 meters to 6 meters. The middle and long rods have the characteristics of both long and short rods, the fishing range is wide, old and young anglers are suitable.

(4) According to the fishing waters can be divided into: hand rod, sea rod, dual-purpose rod.

①Hand rod: refers to the fishing rod without fishing wheel. Mostly used for freshwater fishing, the length is generally 3 meters to 8 meters. Bamboo fishing rods are mostly made of two-year-old strong bamboo, bamboo, bamboo or reed bamboo, bamboo color should be the same, the best bamboo section of the same Qi, should be fully air-dried, section short straight, flexible. Bamboo fishing rods are usually made with a file, sandpaper and a sharpener, and are processed by hand. Not straight place to use the fire slowly baked, straighten, bamboo joints should be smooth, socket winding line should be tight, paint evenly, and should be longer than the insertion depth, to prevent the fishing force broken. Each section should be inserted at a depth of not less than 5 centimeters to 6 centimeters. When you open the section, you can hear a "bang" sound, proving that the socket is tight.

Bamboo rods are mostly 3 to 6 sections, each section should not exceed 40 centimeters long. Bamboo rod socket method, in addition to the natural bamboo socket, there are three kinds of connection method: a. Socket method: fishing rod between the upper and lower sections of seamless lead, copper, fiberglass or plastic pipe articulation. Half of the casing is fastened to the next section, the other half of the mouth up for insertion and extraction. b. Insertion of the heart method: the upper and lower sections of the rod to the insertion of the heart connection. Into the heart of the length of 16 cm to 18 cm, with the thickness and the inner diameter of the rod similar to the sturdy bamboo made. First of all, use plastic tape rope or tape to tighten the upper and lower rod mouth reinforcement, and then insert the upper part of the heart in the upper section, with the next section of the insertion of tight. c. Plugs, casing and insertion of the heart of the dual-use.

Hand rods are categorized into soft, medium and hard according to the strength of the force. The degree of softness of the rod for the rod's tonality, tonality of the distinction is: the rod length is divided into 10 equal segments, holding the rod horizontally, in the natural bending of the rod body to form the arc of the tangent point of the location, as the basis for determining the tonality of the rod. If the tangent point of the arc in the first section of the rod for the super-hard tuning, also known as one-nine temperament; in the first two sections of the rod for the hard tuning (two-eight temperament); in the first three sections of the rod for the middle tuning (three-seven temperament); in the first four sections of the soft tuning rod (four-six temperament); in the first five sections of the super-soft tuning rod (five-five temperament). Choose a good rod tuning, to give full play to the performance of the rod and fishing targeted fish and choose the appropriate fishing method is very important.

②Sea rod, also known as casting rod, casting rod, dumping rod and so on. There are long and short, soft and hard points, in the material is now basically fiberglass and carbon fiber two categories. Sea rod, generally not long, 1.6 meters to 2.4 meters, mostly two sections. This rod is good elasticity, cheap, durable, can be thrown out of the hook a long way to catch larger fish, mainly used in sea water or larger rivers and streams fishing. The materials used in sea rods are similar to those of hand rods, and there are two kinds of rods: telescopic built-in rods and plug-in rods. Sea rods fishing to throw the line far away, generally shorter, to hard tip and medium hard tip is preferred, easy to cast the heavier pendant far away. Longer rods cast farther and shorter rods cast closer. The key components of a sea rod are the overcoil and the winding reel.

Selecting a rod, one should be rounded without cracks; two should be straight after the rod is inserted or pulled out, and the depth of the socket should be moderate; three should be even when the force is applied to the whole rod; four should be smooth and burr-free in the overcoil, so as to avoid spiking the fishing line and obstructing the line; five should be a soft and sturdy handle, so as to avoid breaking the rod handle and rubbing palms after catching a big fish or casting it out with a lot of force; six should be placed in a solid line releasing device bayonet without moving up and down and with the rod. The handle is soft and sturdy so as not to break the handle of the rod when it is cast out or when it is hard enough to break the palm of the hand.

The advantage of the sea rod is: cast far, can catch big fish, can be night fishing. Because the tip of the rod is equipped with a warning bell, the fish on the hook bell will ring; can be fishing in the wind, as long as the rod up and down tremor know that the fish on the hook; do not need to stare at the drift, you can protect the eyesight (with the warning bell); and because of the distance casting has a certain amount of exercise, you can exercise, can relax the nerves, fishing without having to concentrate on the whole body; the rod has a buffer, it is very difficult to break free from the big fish.

The disadvantages of the sea rod are: it is not suitable for fishing in small rivers, streams, small ponds, small pools and waters with dense grass, it is inconvenient to carry it when fishing, and it is necessary to bring many rods and accessories, and the price is also expensive.

(5) According to the number of sections of the fishing rod can be divided into: single-section rod and multi-section rod.

①Single-section rod, also known as a single rod, that is, made of bamboo or other materials to complete a fishing rod. The length of the rod is usually about 4 meters, and it is not easy to break, flexible, durable and so on, and its disadvantage is that it is inconvenient to carry.

②Multi-section rod is a fishing rod with 2 to 20 interfaces. General fishing rods are mostly multi-section rod, with the advantage of easy to carry, the disadvantage is that the interface is easy to break. Multi-section rod is divided into inserted and withdrawn (also known as antenna type) two kinds. Splice rod is composed of several sections of the rod body plugged into each other to form a whole fishing rod, in the installation is from fine to coarse section to section plugged up. It is characterized by the interface is tight, the overall performance of the rod after the force is good; draw type, this rod body is hollow, can be several sections of the rod contracted in the bottom handle of the rod tube, when using a section of the section to pull out, after the use of a section from the bottom handle back into. This rod is easy to carry, but solidity is not as good as the plug-in type.

(6) according to the fishing fish can be divided into: carp rod, carp rod.

(7) According to the fishing waters and environment can be divided into: competitive rods, fishing rods, boat fishing rods, stream fishing rods, iso fishing rods, ice fishing rods and so on.

For example, stream fishing rod is a kind of fishing rod specially used in mountain streams and shallow waters with rapid current, mainly used for fishing small and medium-sized fish such as horse mouthed fish, long-nosed fish, short-bearded jaw fish and oil fish. Stream rod is characterized by the rod contraction of the length of 58 cm or 37 cm, easy to carry; rod of the front section of the rod tip for the solid body, thin and has good toughness. Rod length is generally 2.7 meters, 3.6 meters, 4.5 meters, 5.4 meters. China's anglers are very fond of using stream rods, and expand it to pond fishing use. In order to adapt to the far fishing spots fishing, there are also 6.3 meters, 7.2 meters stream rod supply.
