Hand rods and sea rods have the following differences:

1, the difference between the design and construction

Hand rods refer to rods that are not equipped with winding reels. Currently in the country is mainly telescopic fishing rod, divided into fiberglass fishing rod and carbon fiber fishing rod, mostly used for freshwater fishing, the length is generally 3 to 8 meters.

Sea rods are used for casting, and can be used to fish farther away from the water. Each section of the rod body is equipped with metal or ceramic guide tube eyes, rod handle is installed with a fixed reel card. Sea rods have ample line storage and have lead weights and bait balls that can be thrown as far as 100 meters away. The rods are generally 0.7 to 5.1 meters long and are designed primarily for sea fishing, but can also be used in freshwater.

2, the difference in flexibility

Hand rods are more fixed hooks, lines, drifts and so on. While the sea rod can be used with the use of various types of hooks and lines, as well as drift, or bell, not only for daytime more suitable for night.

3, on the fish signals and signs are different

Hand rod signal is floating, the wind and waves, it is difficult to observe the changes in the fish float, seriously affect the effect of the hand rod.

Sea rods generally do not use a float, it is to see the tip of the rod or listen to the bell to pass the information that the fish are biting, as long as the tip of the rod up and down, or ringing loudly, you know that the fish have been hooked, the wind and waves have no effect on the fish bite.

4, the difference between the bait

The bait used in the hand rod is relatively small and needs to be added frequently, while the bait used in the sea rod is relatively large and does not need to be replaced frequently.

5, the difference between the technical requirements

Hand rods have high technical requirements. The fishing line of the hand rod are fixed, fishing to big fish, very little room for maneuver, when facing big fish mainly through the skills and the performance of the rod to release the force, so it needs a strong skill, while the fishing wheel device on the sea rod, can adjust the trailing force, effective control of the fish's impulse, so that the fish is difficult to break the fishing line.

Use and Maintenance of Fishing Rods

1. Strictly follow the requirements of the matching subline to use, even if you catch a very big fish or occasionally hang bottom. The rod is protected by cutting off the subline after the force is applied to it. So don't arbitrarily increase the strength of the subline.

2. Don't be too hard on yourself, and try to avoid directly lifting the fish to the shore and putting the hooked fish out of the water. If there are big fish in the fishing waters, the fishing rod should be equipped with a lost line to avoid the big fish pulling away from the fishing rod, resulting in unwanted trouble.

3, whether it is a hand rod or sea rod, the best to use a piece of clean soft cloth to collect the side wipe. To prevent mud and water stains into the wall of the rod tube, resulting in rod wear and tear and cut the paint.

4, sea rod on the metal card, more attention should be paid to keep out of the water, to prevent long rust, it is best to use oil after each fishing cotton wool wipe. When fishing, should also pay attention to prevent stepping on the ground on the rod. Prevent the fish dragged the rod on the ground friction, support the rod, to prevent being dragged into the water by the fish.

5, winter is no longer fishing, fishing rod to seriously care in order to extend its life. If the carbon fishing rod is not used, then it is best to load it into the original box. After loading into the original box. There is no original box of the rod, to be loaded into the cloth rod cover, and then the rod with the rod bag. The rod box and rod bag should be placed in the storage room standing up, not horizontally, so as to avoid pressure damage and deformation.

6, the end of spring each year, when the difference between day and night air temperature and room temperature is small, the storage room will be opened to let the indoor and outdoor air circulation, and will be the new carbon fishing rod out of the chamois leather (or cobblestones) a section of a section of the dust will be gently wiped clean. The old rod after wiping the dust to play a thin layer of wax to maintain the rod's smoothness and brightness (the new rod does not need to be waxed).
