Casting Fishing Rod
How do I set up a sea fishing rod with feathers?
Hi There, I imagine you just tie the feather line to your original reel line and add a weight to the bottom and cast and reel in? Is this right?
Also is there any feathers that work better than others?
Thanks
Thread the line through the rings of the rod , now tie on a link swivel , clip your feathers to this , on the other end of the feathers attach another link swivel , to this you add your weight .
The idea of using link swivels is that you can change from one set of feathers to another if you need/want to and or change weight if you want to add or take from what you have on.
Don't just reel in try to impart some extra action into the feathers as uou would any kind of lure.
Sabiki are good if you can get them , or the smallest of shrimp type often used for catching Launce, available on most sites.Other than that good old fashioned feathers ( small size ) cut the set down into 3's it's easier to cast.

Fly Fishing - Choosing The Right Fly Fishing Rod
In view of the wide research done in fly fishing the number of fly fishing rod types in the market are quite large and you have a great choice and brand names. The first aspect you have to consider is the weight and duty for which you are purchasing the fishing rod. They are generally available in gradations from 1 to 9 depending on their weight. Lower the numbers lower the weight and so on. The cast line is directly proportional to the fly rod weight and this is an important parameter.
Significant features of a Fly Fishing Rod
The topic of choosing the most appropriate fishing rod that you can use in fly fishing can be quite complicated and you need to logically understand the various features that are to be considered in the course of your choice. It is imperative to have the basic date on what the fishing rod is being used for in terms of the fish species and the waters where you will sport for those kinds of fish. Finally one needs to stipulate the amount worth spending for all this gear in order to satisfy one\'s craving for this sport.
The Fishing Rod
The most important feature of the fishing rod is its flexural characteristics. It is designated as slow to fast and you should try to understand this concept before purchasing a rod. The amateurs who have just started fly fishing need to begin with medium or medium-fast action rods and graduate on to more sophisticated construction as you gain more experience. It invariably depends on the aptitude of the angler and only a general guide line can be given since the feel and strength control of casting vary from person to person.
What is your Fish?
The type of fish is all important to determine the quality of your fishing rod. Remember that the general maxim is to equate the weight of the fish to the weight of the fishing rod. Mostly it is useful to use light to medium heavy fishing gear for many common fish. Always consult an expert or information on the Internet on the data pertaining to fish and fishing rod relationship.
Fishing Location and your Fishing Rod
The fishing rods depend also on the waters that you encounter for the particular species of fish. The dynamics of the ponds, lakes or rivers ascertain the weight of the casting rod and so does the climatic conditions at different times of the year. Mild conditions and medium fish require light to medium heavy fishing rods whilst severe climatic variations or high water current needs heavier varieties.
Cost is always important!
Quality and cost never blend and one must find a good relationship by generalization technique. The common or let us say popular St. Croix Fly Fishing rod is quite suitable for most of the angler\'s needs. If you have more to spend then go in for the more expensive rods that will give you additional features and efficiency. It is your passion for trout that will determine your attraction to a particular fly fishing rod!
