When novices buy fishing rods, they should choose according to their budget, fishing rod type, fishing rod material, actual operating experience, etc.
Budget:
Budget is a very important consideration for novices when buying fishing rods. Generally speaking, novices can choose fishing rods priced between 50 and 200 yuan. Fishing rods in this price range are cost-effective and can meet the basic fishing needs of beginners. In this price range, there are mainly mid-to-low-end fishing rod products, which are suitable for beginners to start learning without wasting due to excessive prices.
When novices buy fishing rods, they need to note that the budget not only includes the price of the fishing rod itself, but also needs to consider the purchase cost of fishing accessories. These accessories include fishing lines, fish hooks, floats, lead sinkers, etc. The prices of these accessories vary depending on the brand, quality and type. When buying accessories, novices should also choose products with higher price ratios.
Fishing rod types:
Common fishing rod types include hand rods, throwing rods, boat rods, etc. Novices can start with the hand pole because the operation is relatively simple and easy to get started. As your skills improve, you can gradually try other types of fishing rods.
Hand rod: easy to operate, suitable for beginners; suitable for close-range fishing, such as riverside, lakeside and other environments.
Pole throwing: suitable for long-distance casting, which requires high skills; suitable for wide waters such as lakes and rivers.
Boat rod: Mainly used for sea fishing or large freshwater fish; suitable for environments such as the sea or large lakes.
Practical experience:
When purchasing a fishing rod, it is best to try holding and operating it yourself to test the grip, weight and balance of the fishing rod. Making sure you are comfortable while using it will help make fishing more pleasurable.
Grip: Try to hold the fishing rod to check whether the handle fits your hand shape and whether the material is comfortable. A fishing rod with a good grip can make the fishing process more comfortable.
Weight: The weight of the fishing rod will affect the user's fatigue. Novices should choose lighter fishing rods so that they are less likely to fatigue after long-term use.
