The Ultimate Guide to Fly Fishing Rods
How To Choose The Right One For You
Fly fishing is one of the most exciting and rewarding types of fishing out there. It enables you to catch fish that are usually too small or too strong for other methods, like spinning or baitcasting. However, fly rods come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes so it can get confusing when trying to choose one. In order to help you find the perfect rod for your needs, we have done some research on different types of fly rods and put together this ultimate fly rod review you should read!
The first thing you need to do when choosing a fly fishing rod is figuring out what type of activities you plan on doing with it. There are three main types of fly rods: spinning, baitcasting and casting rods.
Spinning Rods
Spinning rods look very similar to the regular fishing poles most people use in lakes or rivers without knowing that they’re actually using a type of spin cast reel (they still have one). These kinds of reels work like an automatic gun where all you have to do is push the button for them go faster once they get close enough to the fish so they can catch it properly. The downside? It’s not exactly easy mastering this kind of way of catching your dinner…
Baitcasting Rods
These rods are the most popular type used by anglers all around the world. They’re much easier to use than spinning rods because they don’t require button pushing (although some do). Baitcasting reels work like regular fishing reel which you attach your line and bait, then hold it with one hand while using another for operating the rod itself. However, if you aren’t careful enough when trying to catch a fish or struggle with keeping tension on your line once there’s resistance, you can lose it very easily!
Casting Rods
If this is your first time catching a fish ever in your life , we recommend choosing either casting or spinning gear instead of just going straight for baitcasting since they have more room for errors so even beginners can use them. Casting rods work like a catapult and you launch your line forward to make the bait go as far as possible, giving it time enough to sink down once it reaches its destination where all you need is wait patiently until there’s a fish ready for catching!
