Different Types of Fishing Rods

Fishing rods are one of the most important accessories without which there's no point in going for fishing. Different types of fishing rods are available for different types of fishing. Check out the main 9 types of fishing rods that are used often:

1.Spinning Rods: These are the most common types of fishing rods that are easily available in the market. They are used for both heavyweight and lightweight fishing and are commonly used for catching walleye, bass and trout. Spinning rods are strong and durable enough to withstand the pressure or stress exerted by the fish on the rod. Designed as an eggbeater reel they are useful for retrieving and casting baits and lures. The usual length of a spin rod is between 1.6m to 2.5m.

2.Jigging Rods: These types of rods are generally seen on commercial boats as they can easily handle large baits and heavy lures. They are made of very strong and solid material as they need to tackle the changing currents of the ocean.

3.Surf Rods: Considered to be the longest among fishing rods, they are heavier than others. Surf rods are useful for catching big fishes. Their length usually vary between 3m to 4.2m.  

4.Carbon Fiber Rods: These are hi-tech rods that are mainly used for coarse fishing. A variety of carbon fibers are used to manufacture them. Positioning of the bait in this type of fishing rod helps to catch big fishes.

5.Fly Rods: Fly fishing rods are generally used for catching fresh water fishes like halibut, salmon and trout. They are mostly built of carbon graphite. The three different types of fly fishing rods include:

1.Bamboo Fly Fishing Rod: This common fishing rod is preferred by most of the people who go fishing, as it is quite durable and suitable for most kinds of fishing situations. These  type of fishing rods are very flexible and lightweight.

2.Graphite Fly Fishing Rods: These type of fly fishing rods are little stiff yet strong and effective. Many fishermen prefer using this due to their strength and performance. These fishing rods are available in various designs and patterns.

3.Fiberglass Fly Fishing Rod: Most of the fishing rods these days are being made of fiberglass. It is little heavier than the other two, which makes it unpopular among some fishermen.

6.Tenkara Rods: They are a combination of other rods, having all the facilities of carbon rods, fly rods, and telescopic rods. The length of these rods range from 11 to 13 feet. They are also very light, portable and easily available at almost every fishing tackle shop.

7.Game Fishing Rods: Game fishing rods are mainly used in deeper saltwater for game fishing. They are designed in such a way that they can catch large fishes like pelagic fish. They are quite thick and don’t bend easily. In place of regular line guides, they have roller guides.  

8.Boat Rods: They are considered to be a subclass of spin rods. Boat rods are heavier and shorter than other rods and are mainly used in saltwater fishing.

9.Trout Fishing Rods: The length of a trout fishing rod ranges from 7 to 10 feet. These rods are lighter than  bass fishing rods. Most of them are made of granite and sometimes fiberglass.

Other types of fishing rods include crappie fishing rods, bass fishing rods, ice fishing rods, sea fishing rods, and ultra light fishing rods.

Rod Building: Cutting Costs 101

One of the most common questions people have about rod building is how much does it cost. Most fishers dream of doing their own rod building but many never try because they are worried that it would simply cost too much. To some extent, these concerns are warranted. The good news is there are some ways to achieve your dream without draining your wallet.

Practice Cheap First

The first thing you should always do if you're new to rod building is to practice using the cheapest equipment you can find. While it isn't difficult if you have everything you need and also have some good instructions, rod building can seem a little overwhelming at first. You should be prepared for that feeling. Think of it this way: if you're just learning how to swim you don't climb the diving board and jump into the deepest part of the pool. That's a recipe for disaster.

Instead of jumping ahead and building your dream rod as your first project, practice using a few inexpensive rod kits first then gradually start working your way up to the type of fishing rod you've always wanted. It will save you money because you won't end up wasting those expensive pieces you've purchased.

Think like a Computer Geek

Some people are as passionate about computers as we are about fishing. Those folks are also interested in building their own units in order to create a "dream machine" that does exactly what they want. However, the costs for such a system can be pretty exorbitant when compared to getting a computer right out of the box. It's the same story with rod building, of course.

One solution used by many of these computer people is to purchase the equipment they need one piece at a time as the money becomes available. Sure, they need more patience but they are able to get exactly what they want for their system and don't have to make compromises just because of cost. In the end, they are usually more satisfied with the finished results.

Make Concessions if You Must

One of the nice things about rod building is that you do get to create the fishing rod you want without some manufacturer deciding which components should be used. All of the decisions are completely yours. That means if you are on a budget you do have the option picking and choosing your components and making compromises somewhere if need be. For example, you may want to spend more on your guides but you may be willing to choose a cheaper blank to compensate. You get to make those choices when you're rod building so you have more control over costs.

Shop Online

Another way to save money is by purchasing your components online at stores such as Sea Isle Tackle. You'll generally find lower prices because these stores have less overhead costs. Plus, price and selection are two of the key ways they sell themselves. At the very least, you'll save on gas because you won't have to travel to the store to make your rod building purchases.

Trolling Fishing Rod

Fishing: Tuna trip preparation: gear/tackle?

Doing a deep water tuna trip in January out of Port Aransas, TX. Usually they get blackfin, yellowfin, and AJs. looking for advice on gear. I have a Penn 9/0 reel on a 6/0 rod, figure that should work fine, usually spool it with 60lb test. Advice on leader wire and hook size for drift bait fishing? How long a leader?
Artificials: any ideas on good baits for trolling?
Also looking for baits to cast on a smaller rod... I've heard people talk about "irons" and "darts" can anyone tell me what these are? I'm thinking its like a slab.Reccomendations? Any answers or other suggestions would be much appreciated.-

Wow! I didn't know you could fish for tuna in January. Very cool!

Penn 9/0 is a big reel. If you're comfortable with its size, by all means go for it. Generally speaking, you could get away with a 4/0. 60 pound line is good. But if you want to troll, 80 pound test is a good start.

I don't know what kind of bait you'll get. We usually use small mackerel, bonito or live squid as bait. We'll use sardine or anchovy for bait when bigger baits aren't available. So, bring a good variety of hooks just to be safe. I usually bring hooks from as small as size 2 all the way up to 9/0. Bring an assortment of sliding egg sinkers as well. 1/8 to 2 oz is good enough for most situations.

As for leader, I like it to be at least the length of the rod I'm using. I'll use at least 2x the rod length if I'm tossing irons or jigging. I prefer fluorocarbon leaders.

As for irons, Tady 45 and 77 is good for the surface. You can use Salas or UFO if you like; the difference is negligible. I'd retrieve as fast as I could then gradually slow down until I got a hit. Fast retrieve will get you the most aggressive (most willing to bite) fish first. You can also try yo-yo-ing aka speed jigging. You'll need to use heavier jigs for yo-yo-ing. Sumo makes pretty nice yo-yo irons. I like Sumo Jr or Tady 4/0 for yo-yo-ing. I don't know what colors are good for your area. But blue/chrome, blue/white, green/white and green/yellow all worked pretty well around here.

I'd recommend using braid for tossing irons. Many reels that look and feel good on a jig stick usually don't hold enough mono. If you happened to hook onto a lunker, there's a chance that you'll get spooled if you fill your jigging reel with mono.

There's also the revolutionary butterfly jigs. I finally get to try them this year and they are absolutely scary! You could drop it straight down till it hit the bottom and retrieve it back as fast as you could. You could also vertical jig it and work it back 2-4ft at a time. I must warn you those butterfly jigs are very effective on bottom species. If you don't want any bottom species, you'll have to count down till it reached desired depth. It worked pretty well on yellowtails while vertical jigging and speed jigging around Southern California. I think it will work very nicely on AJ's as well. Shimano butterflies are effective but costly. Williamson made jigs that cost a lot less but worked very similar to Shimano jigs. By the way, a long leader will really help when speed jigging. The knots connecting the leader to the main line will serve as an "end of line" warning; slamming your jig into your rod tip isn't that fun. LOL
