Do you know the principle of using rod length? Why do experts use shorter and shorter rods?

Principle of using fishing rod length

No matter where you go to fish please remember one principle: you can use a short rod, not a long rod. Many anglers do not know the specific conditions of the fish, nor do they know whether they can lure the fish closer to the shore, and then start to blindly use a long rod, this practice is in fact like killing the chicken with a bull knife.

Short rods have the advantage of being lighter and less difficult to cast, as well as being able to be fitted with a float that has a thinner end, which allows the fishing team to have greater sensitivity. Especially in the winter carp fishing, some anglers are still using longer rods of more than 7 meters 2, which is completely unnecessary if you are not fishing for grass holes.

Why are masters using shorter and shorter rods?

The reason why masters are using shorter rods is because they are getting better and better at attracting fish. The key to catching a lot of fish with a short rod is that they know how to lure a lot of fish closer to the shore and keep them there for a long period of time once they are in the nest.

It can be said that the nest is well done or bad, which is the biggest difference between the master and the novice. If you have more fish in your nest than you do, and most of the time you have more fish, then it's only natural that you'll catch more fish than you do. In other words, as long as you can lure the fish into the nest, you can boldly use a short rod.

Basic principles of soft and hard rod walking

There is a saying in fishing circles that hard rods are more likely to break than soft rods, but this is not true. The reason for this is not the rod, but the way you walk the fish.

There are two common ways to walk a fish: one is to hold the rod upright, nearly 90 degrees from the ground, and hold on to it until the fish's stamina runs out. Another method is to use the toughness of the rod, through the left and right swing will be the rod down to the ground, parallel to the road, until the fish do not make force sprinting and then the rod up, and the ground to maintain 90 degrees vertical.
