Your shopping guide for fishing rods: How to recognize the best model
Choosing the right fishing rod depends on various factors. To find the perfect rod for your requirements, you should pay attention to the following points:
1. weight: comfort is crucial
The lighter the rod, the longer you can fish without tiring. Especially when float fishing, where you are constantly holding the rod in your hand, weight plays a major role. Plug-in rods are often lighter than telescopic rods and therefore offer more comfort if you are planning long sessions.
2. length: tele or plug?
The right length of fishing rod depends on how and where you want to fish. Shorter rods up to 2 meters are suitable for fishing from a boat so that there is room for several anglers. Longer rods, on the other hand, allow for long casts, which is particularly useful when fishing from the bank.
3. material: glass or carbon fiber?
Nowadays, fishing rods are made from modern materials such as glass or carbon fiber. Glass fiber is heavier, but more robust and elastic. Carbon fiber, on the other hand, is lighter but not quite as strong. A combination of both materials – composite rods – offers an ideal balance.
4th casting weight: For the best catch
The casting weight indicates how much weight you can safely cast with the rod. Do not exceed this, otherwise the rod could be damaged. So think in advance about the type of fish you want to catch and select the rod according to the casting weight.
5. accessories: lures, weights and more
Some fishing rods are also offered as a set with a matching fishing reel. This is particularly practical for beginners, but advanced anglers also benefit from coordinated equipment. Think about additional gadgets such as a fish finder to optimize your fishing experience.
Which fishing rods are available?
The market offers a variety of fishing rods that focus either on special fishing methods or specific fish. However, there are also all-round rods that are suitable for different situations.
All-round fishing rods: The flexible choice
If you don’t want to commit to a specific fishing style, an all-round rod is ideal. These rods are suitable for different types of fish and fishing methods. They are particularly suitable for beginners and occasional anglers who still want to experiment.
Target fish fishing rods: For ambitious anglers
If you want to focus on a specific species of fish, you should choose a special target fish rod. For example, carp rods are particularly robust, while trout rods are very sensitive and light.
Fishing rods for specific methods
In addition to target fish rods, there are also special fishing rods for specific techniques such as spinning or fly fishing. If you want to fish actively and plan to constantly cast and retrieve, a spinning rod is ideal for you.
Which fishing rod suits you?
Choosing the right fishing rod depends on where and how you want to fish:
- All-round fishing rods: Perfect for beginners and occasional anglers who want to remain flexible.
- Spinning rods: Ideal if you want to fish actively and sportily, as you keep the rod in constant motion.
- Target fish rods: If you know exactly which fish you want to catch, a specialized rod is the best choice.
What do fishing rods cost?
The price of a fishing rod depends on the materials used and the accessories. Here is a rough overview:
- Inexpensive fishing rods (from 20 euros): Ideal for beginners who want to try out which fishing method suits them first.
- Medium price range (60 to 150 euros): Here you will find more robust rods made from high-quality materials such as carbon. These models are perfect for ambitious hobby anglers.
- High-tech rods (from 200 euros): For passionate anglers, high-end carbon fiber rods offer light weight and extreme stability.
Conclusion: Which fishing rod is best for you?
Whether you are just starting out with fishing or are already an experienced angler – there is a fishing rod that is perfect for you. Here is an overview of the most important points:
- Beginners: Use an all-round rod to try out different methods.
- Active anglers: A spinning rod is ideal if you want to fish for sport.
- Advanced: Target fish rods and high-tech models offer you the necessary specialization.
