How to choose fishing rod

Some manufacturers produce some fishing rods with mixed materials for the sake of price and performance ratio, and the inner layer and outer layer are made of different fibers; The first three sections are made of carbon fiber, and the tail section is made of glass fiber reinforced plastic. This kind of fishing rod has certain advantages in price and performance, but it is easily misunderstood as a fake carbon rod and is not accepted by fishermen.

2. Rod length: refers to the actual length of the hand lever after assembly or deployment. The length of the practical range (referring to the method of fishing with a straight rod line) is 2.7 meters, 3.6 meters, 4.5 meters, 5.4 meters and 6.3 meters respectively. At present, the competition rules of competitive crucian carp fishing in China stipulate the use of 3.6-meter-long hand poles for competition. Usually used for leisure fishing, a 5.4-meter-long hand pole is enough. It should be said that it is very difficult to catch crucian carp with a hand pole over 6.3 meters. Because the fishing rod is too long, it is very troublesome to do. The action of crucian carp eating bait was originally small, and the float was thrown too far, and many slight signals could not be recognized.

Carassius auratus must swim from deep water to the shore where food is stored in order to feed. Whether it is a river, a lake or a reservoir, the area 3-4 meters away from the shore, with a water depth of 1.5 meters and a flat bottom, will become a feeding channel for fish, and a 4.5-meter hand pole can completely reach this range. Sometimes the fishing rod is used for too long, which will make the fishing point cross the feeding channel of the fish and lead to losses.

3. Hardness of the handle: refers to the tensile force that the handle can bear. The one under great tension has high hardness, and vice versa. Crucian carp in China, whether wild or artificially raised, weigh more than 0.8 kg. Therefore, it is completely possible to fish crucian carp with a hard-tuned hand pole.

The hard adjusting rod can not only protect the fishing line by using the drag force generated by moderate elasticity, but also try to avoid tearing the fish lip because the fishing rod is too hard. Moderate tonality can also produce a good feel, which can add a lot of fun for fishermen to walk their fish. The good elasticity of the hard adjusting rod combining hard and soft can also directly fly the crucian carp weighing about 0.2 kg ashore, which saves the trouble of copying the net, and is more suitable for competition and easier for beginners to master.

4. Tonality of the pole: Tonality actually refers to the strength of the pole, which refers to how much weight the pole tip can lift and how much radian the pole body appears when the tail section of a fully unfolded pole remains horizontal. The greater the load, the harder the tonality of the fishing rod with smaller curvature. Generally speaking, the tonality of the hand lever can be divided into five grades: middle key, middle hard key, hard key, super hard key and extremely hard key.

5. Uniformity of tonality: the radian of the fishing rod with good uniformity is in a state of gentle transition after being forced to bend; A fishing rod with poor uniformity has a dead angle in its radian.

At present, it is difficult to judge the quality of hand bars sold in stores only from the appearance, and the marked hardness often does not match the actual hardness. The uniformity of tonality is good, which is difficult to detect when the fishing rod is not actually installed. It is suggested that fishing friends test the unity of hardness and tonality when buying fishing rods, and don't be deceived by some exaggerated labels and gorgeous appearance of fishing rods.

6. Weighing inspection: When selecting a hand pole, the hardness of the pole body is tested according to a practical standard instead of looking at the tonality mark on the pole. For example, if we want to choose a cutting rod for fishing crucian carp, we will make it weigh 0.3 kg and the jointing rod weigh 0.4 kg.

Use a counterweight prepared in advance or a plastic bag to temporarily load a weighted bait as a counterweight, tie it to the fishing rod, and then slowly lift the fishing rod. When the counterweight leaves the ground, keep the tip of the lever and the bottom of the lever handle in a horizontal line. At this time, if the curvature of the fishing rod is about half the length of the rod, its hardness is suitable for fishing crucian carp. If the third quarter is obviously bent, it will be a little soft. If you just bend to the second quarter, the third quarter will hardly deform, so it will be a little hard.

7. Insert rod: Insert rod is a kind of split fishing rod in hand rod, which is called "parallel fishing rod" according to the Chinese pronunciation of Japanese characters. When in use, the insertion rod should be inserted from the top (the tip of the rod) to the end, in order to become a complete fishing rod.

Because the parting surface reduces the space for telescopic (connecting) fishing rod, the rod body can be made thinner without reducing the strength, which is the variety pursued by competitive fishing enthusiasts.

Hard-adjusting stopper rod is used for leisure fishing, and it is more suitable to catch about 0.5 kg of crucian carp. Soft and hard tonality can not only increase the pleasure and pleasure of fishing for anglers, but also be used to catch small crucian carp within 50 grams in the competition; Because of its light weight, it can save physical strength and facilitate fishermen to maintain a good competitive state in long-term competitions. At present, the plugs sold in the market are mainly 3.6 meters long, and their tonality is mostly hard and super hard, and extremely hard-tuned plugs are rare.

8. Hook lever: Hook lever is a retractable hand lever. According to the Chinese pronunciation of Japanese characters, it is called "vibrating" hand lever. The connecting rod is divided into short section (stream fishing rod) and long section (pond fishing rod). Although the short pole is easy to carry, its strength is low, and competitive fishing enthusiasts basically don't need it.

Because of their different strengths, the length of a single joint is slightly different, but the total length of the fishing rod after pulling out is not much different. Generally, the length of the tail of the long joint connecting rod is about 100 ~ 1 15cm. In order to make the rod shrink into the tail joint in turn, the connecting rod is thicker than the inserting rod.

9. Socket: the interface between the connecting rod and the upper section. Whether the wall thickness of the socket is consistent or not and whether the cross section of the socket is flat or not is an important link to reflect the quality of the plug rod.

The way to check the socket is to slowly insert the upper section into the lower section. In this process, there should be no looseness and tightness, but the tighter the insertion. There should be no shaking at the interface after tight insertion, and the shaking fishing rod has a seamless feeling, and there is no noise caused by friction between nodes due to looseness. The greater the vacuum force when pulling out each section, the closer the upper and lower plugs are.

10. Insertion amount: the length of the upper segment of the stopper inserted into the lower segment. The insertion amount of each section should be gradually increased from top to bottom. Generally, the insertion amount of the first section (pole tip) is not less than 6 cm.

Usually, when using the insertion rod, it should be inserted from the tip of the rod in turn and slowly from the bottom. If it is inserted too fast, it will accelerate the wear of the inner and outer walls of the pole and cause looseness. After each insertion section is in place, rotate the insertion section slightly counterclockwise to lock the socket. The rotation angle should not be too large, and it is appropriate to be about 5 degrees. When exiting, turn the lock clockwise and then pull out the upper part.

Beginners, due to poor control ability, are prone to tug-of-war when fishing big fish with a plunge rod, or suddenly use too much force to break the fishing rod, so pay special attention.

1 1. Lap: refers to the joint between connecting rods. For a 3.6-meter hand pole, the joint between the top and the second section is generally more than 4 cm, the second and third sections are 4 cm, and the third and fourth sections are 6 cm. The lap joint is short, which is easy to cause jointing and fracture. After a period of use, it will become shorter due to wear, so choose a longer lap joint when buying poles.

12. Upper and lower openings: the upper end of each connecting rod is an upper opening and the lower end is a lower opening. Whether the wall thickness of the upper and lower openings is the same, whether the cross section is flat, and whether the outer section is in close contact with the inner section after the inner section is tightened are all important points to ensure quality and durability. In addition, the stopper rod has only an upper opening, but no lower opening.

13. Rod plug: a plug to prevent the inner section from slipping out after the hand lever is retracted, also called plug. The connecting rod has an upper plug (rubber or wood products) and a lower plug (generally plastic products), and the lower plug has a vent hole, which can release the water vapor in the rod. The 3.6m plug rod has two connected upper plugs, but no lower plug.

Every time you go home after fishing, try to pull out the plug on the rod and let the water vapor in the rod evaporate, so as to avoid long-term humidity in the rod and damage the paint surface.

14. Movable bottom handle: the detachable bottom handle is used to shorten the length of the hand lever. A 5.4-meter hand pole can be equipped with three movable bottom handles, so it can be changed into a hand pole with three lengths of 4.5 meters, 3.6 meters and 2.7 meters to achieve the purpose of multi-purpose for one pole.

Buy a removable bottom handle. Be sure to match the fishing rod for field test.

15. Knitting tip: a soft braided tube (a kind of chemical fiber fabric) glued to the tip of the pole to fix the big thread. After the new fishing rod is bought back, the pigtail tip should be treated. Starting from the tip of the pole, tie a one-centimeter-long knot at the braid tip, cut off the excess braid tip, and then bake the braid head with a lighter to make it naturally melt into a ball. So that the knot won't fall off again. Then use quick-drying super glue with good water resistance to drop a small drop of glue where the braid tip was originally bonded, and let the glue penetrate a little above the braid tip, about 5 mm, in order to strengthen the bonding degree between the braid tip and the pole tip and protect the braid from being worn off by the pole tip. But it must be noted that the glue must be dripped less. If the braid is completely soaked with glue and becomes stiff, it will be difficult to tighten the fishing line at the tip of the braid, which will cause the big line to fall off in use.

16. Insulated handle sleeve: made of insulating heat-shrinkable rubber, which can play an insulating role when sleeved on the handle of the handle bar, commonly known as the rubber sleeve of anti-electric handle sleeve. When buying an anti-electric handle cover, it must be about 5 cm longer than the handle at the bottom of the fishing rod, and the thickness should be as appropriate as possible. If the original bottom handle is wrapped with a layer of iron wire, it is best to remove the iron wire first and then install the anti-electric handle cover, so that the installation effect is more beautiful, and the diameter of the bottom handle can not be increased.
