Fishing Fish Rod

what fishing rod would you suggest for fishing 12-18 inch lake trout?

i am a river fisherman and have caught salmon only over the years. my buddie took me fishing at a lake and i loved it! but the thing is i am absolutly clueless on what rod i should get for fishing these kinds of fish and fishing in lakes? i want one i can really cast out there and one that is sensitive so u can see and feel when they are biting. could you guys suggest any rods for me? maybe at any local stores such as walmart canadian tire army and navy?

Nick, You want the real FEELING of excitement feel the fishes' every move, Go with an ultra light spinning rod and reel setup, with about 4lb. test spyderwire mono. I have caught speckled trout in the 4 to 5 lb. class, and also redfish, at times we had to start the boat motor and move toward the fish to get some line back. It is the ultimate most fun fishing I have ever done. Remember the lighter the line , the more action your lures produce !!!

How To Choose The Right Fishing Rod And Reel

Leaning how to choose the right fishing rod and reel is the first step in discovering a fun and relaxing new hobby. Fishing tackle is the term used to describe the equipment fishermen use to catch fish. The pole is the simplest piece of fishing tackle and may be made of inexpensive materials like cane and bamboo, or more expensive materials like fiberglass.

When you choose the right fishing rod and reel to use, you need to consider what type of fisherman you want to be and what type of water you will be fishing in. Equipment failure when you are about to land the big one is not fun.

Saltwater Fishing

Fishing tackle for saltwater fishing cannot be made with any aluminum, steel or iron parts because the saltwater will corrode them. They must be stainless steel or nickel. If you are saltwater fishing inshore, use ultra-light equipment. For deep-sea fishing, much larger and heavier tackle is necessary.

Ice Fishing

Ice fishing requires specialized equipment. Rods between onef oot and three feet in length are used. Simple reels hold the line. Some ice fishermen choose to use tip-ups which fit over the hole they have cut in the ice, and when a fish hits a lever releases and a flag tips up and alerts the fisherman.

Other Types

Other type of fishing include still fishing, drift fishing, bait casting and fly fishing to name a few. There are four types of rods and reels to be considered when choosing the right fishing rod and reel for any of these types of fishing.

Spincasting

Spincasting is great for beginners . The rod has a straight handle and small line guides. The reel is attached to the top of the handle and the line comes out of a small hole in the cover on the front of the reel.

Spinning Rods and Reels

Spinning rods have a straight handle also, but the line guides are larger and on the bottom of the rod. The spool is not covered allowing the fishing line to release faster so it casts farther.

Baitcasting

A baitcasting rod can have either a straight handle or a grip like a pistol. The reel and line guides are mounted on top of the rod. line spool turns as you cast and must be controlled properly to avoid snarls. This is probably not the right fishing rod and reel for a beginner.

Flyfishing

Flyfishing tackle is different from all other types. The reel is used only to store the line. Rods are chosen by weight. A rod with a smaller number will cast a shorter distance. How far you want to cast depends on where you are fishing.
