How do novices choose the fishing rod that suits them?

According to years of fishing experience, how to choose a fishing rod suitable for beginners to fish, please introduce it to everyone!

1. The fishing target is determined according to the hardness and elasticity of the fishing rod, and different kinds of fish have different requirements for the fishing rod. For example, I mainly fish carp, so I choose a softer fishing rod, which can provide flexibility and prevent the fishing line from breaking. My friend mainly catches bass, and his pole is hard, because it needs a hard pole to catch bass. When I first started fishing, I bought a so-called universal rod directly because I didn't know the main fishing object. The results show that neither carp nor bass fishing is ideal, and the effect is average. Later, I learned that it is still necessary to choose a fishing rod with appropriate hardness according to the target fish. Therefore, when a novice chooses the first pole, it's best to make sure that 1-2 kinds of fish should be caught, and then choose the matching hardness and elasticity of the pole. Otherwise, it is easy to buy an inappropriate universal rod. In order to buy suitable professional equipment, it is very important to define the fishing target. 2. It is very important to choose the correct rod length. I had the same problem when I bought my first pole. At first, I was misled by the long pole, and I felt that the operation range was wider when it was longer. Later when I used it, I found that the long pole was not only inconvenient for me to operate, but also difficult to control. After comparison, I found that the pole length between 3 and 4 meters is the best for me. I can't control a pole that is too long, and the flexibility is not high, so it is easy to roll the pole. However, if the pole is too short, the operating range is limited, which also affects the fishing effect. Therefore, novices should choose the appropriate pole length according to their height and body shape. If the height is 1.78m, choose a pole of about 3.6 m, which is the length with the best sense of control. Too long or too short will affect the operation and fishing effect. Beginners should not be confused by the long pole, but choose the length that really suits them, which is very important for the fishing experience. 3. It is very important to test the curvature of the pole, which is also the key consideration when I buy the pole. Fishing rods with different hardness have different bending ranges, corresponding to different fishing purposes. When I go to a fishing shop for a test, I will hold different kinds of poles and then have a Bai Wan test. I found that the spring-type soft pole bends greatly in Bai Wan and has a good buffering effect, which is very suitable for carp fishing. However, the graphite rigid rod bends very little in Bai Wan, and this hardness is suitable for bass fishing. So I will first determine the main fishing objects, and then choose the fishing rod with matching curvature through field experiments. I feel good about the spring-type soft rod, but the hard graphite rod feels uncomfortable to operate. Novices can find out the rod material with the smoothest feel and the most matching curvature through this simple test method. On-site personal testing is more intuitive and accurate than online pictures and descriptions. This is also my experience in buying the first shot. 4. Choose the brand you trust. The quality of fishing rod depends on the material and manufacturing process. Choosing a trustworthy brand can greatly reduce the risk of quality problems. Novices suggest choosing some well-known brands, such as Shubo, Qingjiang and Renpin. The quality is trustworthy. Don't choose some unknown cheap poles, which are likely to have uneven quality and short service life. These well-known brands have a good market reputation, and their material selection and production technology are trustworthy. Unknown brands with the same price are likely to have poor materials or production problems, and their service life is short, so they are not worth buying. So I suggest that novice fishermen give priority to these well-known and trustworthy brands when choosing the first pole. Don't choose some cheap poles of different quality to save some money. High-quality poles can be used for many years, and it is worthwhile to choose a good brand. The weight of the pole should be moderate, too light and unstable, too heavy to operate. Generally speaking, 280-320g is suitable for poles about 3m, and the weight should be evenly distributed. Therefore, I also suggest that novices can try more poles with different weights and feel the comfort when holding the poles. Don't just look at the weight figures, choose according to your feelings. This moderate weight can make the operation more convenient and improve the stability of fishing. This is also an important aspect to pay attention to when choosing the first pole. I hope the above suggestions can help you find your first fishing rod!
