What should be tackle, reels and even bait
A fishing rod is an important thing in fishing, because it depends on how much you can take home. The main part of any fishing rod is the rod, which should be of high quality and light. Therefore, the choice must be approached responsibly. I'll tell you exactly what to look for and what kind of rod to buy.
Pay attention to weight and elasticity
When choosing a rod, pay attention to the weight, strength and elasticity of the model. Check if there is the possibility of folding and unfolding, the system for fastening the coil, rings and the end ring - a tulip. All rings must be carefully filled with glue, and the glue itself must be polished.
Many anglers prefer light and short rods, because for long fishing the wrist is loaded with throws, after which the hand aches for a long time, especially at the beginning of the season. If you are fishing from a boat, you can use a long and relatively heavy rod. When fishing from the shore, which is abundantly overgrown with bushes, a long rod will interfere with casting the rod, as it can get tangled in the branches.
When fishing on rivers with a strong current, I recommend choosing a telescopic rod, since it takes up little space, you can take it on any trip to the forest to catch the rivers and lakes you meet, where there are very interesting trophies. This rod is easy to fix.
Match action and rod test
For a rod, casting power is important, which is determined by the weight of the bait. According to the laws of inertia, the heavier the bait, the farther it flies. Note that it is not always necessary to throw heavy bait. Fastidious and cautious fish will not let the fisherman close, and you will have to cast light baits weighing up to 10 grams far.
Therefore, such a characteristic as the action of the rod is important. Action is the speed at which a bent rod head returns to its original position. The higher this speed, the sharper the cast can be made, using the properties of inertia, and the further the light bait will be thrown.
At the same time, it will be a little more difficult to catch fish, so you need to find an acceptable ratio of action and rod test - the weight range of lures for which the selected rod is intended.
Choose a universal tackle
A float rod is suitable for a beginner carp fishing. The tackle, which is called the Bologna fishing rod, has long been recognized as universal. It is simple, reliable, unpretentious and quite effective. By equipping the Bologna rod with a spinning reel, you can successfully catch perch, grayling, whitefish, and in the reservoirs of the middle lane - bream and roach, so the tackle is really universal.
For a beginner angler, I recommend a Bologna rod 5-6 meters long, medium-fast action with a test of 15 to 20-30 grams. Women are usually more comfortable with a shorter rod, about 4 meters long. For more than 30 years I have been catching fish with this rod, from common roach to grayling and trout.
I like graphite rods, although I know fishermen who have been successfully fishing with fiberglass and even bamboo rods for many years. On the forums, Bolognese fishing rods Black Hole Atomic Bolo are very praised, they have different lengths, you can choose for a woman and a man.
Buy a spinning reel
You can choose a reel without inertia, because it is good at casting and catching. Its drawback is that it often breaks down, and a cheap coil is easier to replace than to repair. Expensive spinning rods are worth buying only for spinning rods.
Experienced fishermen praise the Daiwa Procaster X Rear Drag Reel 2550X reels. They are not very cheap, but they will last a long time, because this model is reliable and strong, and if desired, it can be rearranged for spinning for a beginner.
