Before buying a fishing rod, you should first determine the length of the rod you are buying, whether you want to buy a long section rod of more than one meter, or a short section rod of about six hundred millimeters in length. Don't underestimate the weight of these interfaces. In a dense fish competition, thousands of times a day you need to hit the rod and lift the rod, even if you add only a few grams of weight on the rod, the labor intensity will make a big difference. The advantage of short section rod is easy to carry, whether in the car basket, or put in the rod bag can be, even can be tied horizontally on the rear hanger of the bike, and there is no great impact on safety. The disadvantage of short section rods is that there are more interfaces, not only the force is not as even as long section rods, compared with long section rods, in the same length premise, the weight of short section rods is also higher.
In contrast, longer rods are vulnerable to injury. As an example to illustrate this problem, two different lengths of rods are tied in the basket hanging behind the bicycle, the bicycle suddenly fell to the ground, the long rod is subject to some serious damage. The reason is simple, the speed of the two bikes fall to the ground is the same, the speed of movement of the top of the two rods is not the same, the movement radius of the long rod is greater than the short section of the rod, so the movement speed is much higher than the short section of the rod, the impact of the long section of the rod on the ground is mostly, the top of the long section of the rod is easy to fall broken. About brand and price for a competitive angler, brand and price is a very important issue, because it is related to their face, but also their ranking. Competitive fishing rods are carbon rods, its price contains two major factors, one factor is the brand, the other factor is the material and process. Competitive fishing rods require high weight, the lighter the weight the better when used under the premise of ensuring hardness. The material used to make carbon rods is carbon cloth, which is divided into different grades. The higher the grade of the material, the lighter the weight and the higher the price, so it causes the price of the rod to be high.
The tournament has a strict limit on the length of the rod, the tournament license to use the rod is basically 3.6 meters, 4.5 meters, 5.4 meters of these three, each length equipped with a soft and hard is basically enough, in contrast, the number of recreational anglers equipped with rods less than competitive anglers. For a casual angler, the brand and price compared to the brand is not very important, the price occupies the first position.
Every recreational angler is constantly purchasing and eliminating rods, and there are many recreational anglers who own dozens of rods. Especially those with decades of fishing experience of old anglers, each length and hardness of the rod basically equipped with all. Every time you travel, you have to carry several rods of different lengths and choose the right length according to the water conditions.

How to check the quality of fishing rods

How to choose the tuning of a fishing rod
About rod tuning tuning refers to the degree of softness and hardness of the rod, inevitably bending when the rod is under weight, hard tuned rods bend less, soft tuned rods bend more. Hard tuned rods are not as flexible as soft tuned rods, the rod body absorbs and consumes less energy, so you need to use relatively thick fishing line, you can slip the fish out of the water in a relatively short period of time, to put it in a rustic way, there is a certain degree of raw pull factor.
