Fly Fishing Rod

i bourget a fly fishing rod and reel and i want the basics. what else do i need and what does the price vary?

please help because i really like fishing. thanks

Youre question makes very little sense but i will try to help you out, you will need fly line, i like sage, rio and airflo, buy a good line if nothing else becuase its the most important bit, also you will need backing on your reel, dacron is fine.
I use gel-spun backing, very light,strong and you get lots on the spool if you know your fighting hard fish such as stocked rainbows and steelhead etc, but general dacron is fine for every day use,

For the other end of you flyline i recommend a braided loop for quick leader attachement (loop to loop connection)

for leaders/tippets go with a quality brand such as rio or airflo g3 this fluorocabon is invisible in water and helps you fish lures such as the woolly bugger, dont use it on dries or it will sink them

Also compliments to fishsteelhead and all i can say is i hope this helps you out.
The last thing if youre having trouble with casting you need a weight forward line not DT, also to improve youre turnover use a tapered leader without the braided loop, then attach your tippet to that.

Fly Fishing Rods

One of the most important tools for catching fish is the fishing rod. The act of fishing is very relaxing, invigorating and it tells a thing or two about how aquatic life is and also the lesson of being patient.ofcourse, eating what you caught is a high in itself. There is very good competition between many of the fishermen and they try and oust the other by one way or the other. Using the right kind of tools can help to attain success and come out as the winner.

One of the first and foremost considerations to having the right tool is to choose what you want to catch. When you know what to catch, you can decide the size of the tool you would use. Determining the type of fish one needs to catch can only lead to the right choice for the fishing rod. Other things to be kept in mind while fishing is the size of the fish, water conditions and the method of fishing. Having a sound idea about all the above factors greatly improve the chances of catching fish before even actually being near the water.

A fly fishing rod is usually best suited for either catching trout or salmon. A flexible fishing rod is what one will need to catch these fishes. To bring home the fish you desire, you would need the right fishing rod to start with and then followed by the line, nets and various other tools. When catching salmon, one has to continuously hold the fishing rod and therefore one should see the grip of the rod before buying it. You would feel that the fishing rod is a tad too expensive when you buy it but it would be well worth the price after you hold that salmon u caught in your hand.

Fly fishing rods for sale are available throughout the country and are a good bet for a good catch. If winter fishing is what you like and want then there are ice fishing rods that can be used in a frozen lake. These rods allow you to fish in frozen water through holes. The ice fishing rods, owing to the rough conditions it’s used in are much more durable and strong than other types of fishing rods. Choosing the right rod for you can be a bit tricky as there are different sizes and types.So, one may need to experiment with different rods before finding the right one.

In case of coarse fishing, you need a carbon fiber rod. This type of rod is best for catching any of the cyprinid family. That is the primary reason to know the type of fish you need to catch before buying the fishing rod. Other types of rods are spinning rod, ultra light and surf rods. All fishing rods are designed for different types of fish and one need to see what one is most comfortable with. The amount of money you can spend is another big factor but I would advise to not compromise for sub standard rods for it may be all worth while when you have that fish in your hand.
