The choice of lure fishing rod is often the most troublesome thing for many novices. When faced with a dazzling array of choices, it is impossible to know where to start. When I first chose a lure rod, I had no idea where to start. After three or four years of exploration, I can finally share my experience with the machine.

The selection of lure rods mainly starts from the following aspects.

1. Classification of Lure Rods

Lure rods can be divided into two types, one is the handle, which is usually used with a drip wheel or drum because the guide ring The feet are relatively low, so it is easier to control the landing point of the throw and the accuracy is relatively high.

The straight-handle rod is matched with a spinning wheel, which is relatively simple to operate and is friendly to novices. It's relatively easy to get started, but very difficult to master.

2. Lure rod hardness

The hardness of fishing rods generally has the following types

XUL\SUL (super soft)

UI (super soft)

L (soft)

ML (medium soft)

M (medium)

MH (medium hard) )

H (hard)

XH (super hard)

XXh (super hard)

These ten hardnesses are basically This covers the hardness of all lure rods. However, even if the poles produced by different manufacturers have the same label, the actual hardness may be different. You need to experience it on site to know its actual hardness.

If we want to choose a pole, the easiest way is to check the fish species or bait weight recommended by the merchant.

Take Guangzhou as an example, if you fish for white stripes or red eyes. I would choose poles with XUL\SUL~L hardness, because they are relatively small in size and do not require too hard poles. Moreover, poles with low hardness are lighter and will not be too tiring to use.

If the target fish is large fish such as mandarin fish, perch or cockroach, then I will definitely choose a L~M pole. This hardness has a longer distance and is suitable for larger fish. The fish species will have better control and it will be easier to return the fish.

If I am dealing with many obstacles or dealing with large fish species, then I will use MH~H fishing rods. First, if a fish is caught in the obstacle area, we need to quickly pull the fish out of the obstacle area to prevent the fish from getting into the stone crevices and causing the fish to be lost. When facing big fish, this hardness can also control the fish swimming well to avoid decoupling.

Finally, there are XH and XXH poles. These two hardnesses are relatively rarely used in fresh water. Together with the unloading force of the wheels, they can catch fish species exceeding 20KG or even larger, which are very rare in fresh water. Generally used in sea fishing. In fresh water, only the fishing method of "black fishing" will use a pole with this hardness. Blackfishing means fishing for snakeheaded fish (or also called fortune fish or spotted fish) in areas with many obstacles. Their upper jaws are very hard and require a super-hard pole to penetrate them at once to prevent them from decoupling.

3. Lure rod tonality

In addition to hardness, the common parameters of lure rods include tonality. There are mainly the following types of tonality

Pole with slow tonality is generally more difficult to stab fish and requires a larger range of movements, but its stickiness to fish is better. Because it bends greatly after being stressed, the buffering performance will be better, and it will be less easy for the fish to break free of the hook. However, the current materials are developing rapidly. R~SS tonal poles are now relatively rare, and generally appear in On fiberglass pole.

There are many MF ~ When the fishing rod is passed to the hook, the fish mouth can be pierced without hesitation. It is very suitable for fishing some fish that like to drill into structures, such as mandarin fish, bass, grouper, etc.

1. Lure Rod Logo

The last point is that you need to understand the logo on the Lure Rod.

The logo of the lure rod is generally expressed in the form of numbers + letters. Take one of the poles in my hand as an example

When I see the LEW-802MC and LEW-792MHC, they must be very big. What does this mean? Next, I will dismantle them one by one.

The lew in front is generally the logo of the brand.

We can divide the following numbers into two sections. The 80 and 79 in the front represent 8.0 feet and 7.9 feet. The conversion unit between them and meters is about x3. So it can be concluded that the lengths of these two poles are 2.4m and 2.37m respectively.

The following 2 represents two sections. Lure rods are generally divided into single-section poles, 2-section poles and multi-section poles. The main difference between them is portability, and the pole with fewer sections has better sensitivity. It is generally recommended to use a 2-section rod.

The last one is c, which stands for the abbreviation of gun handle casting. In comparison, the one ending in S represents the abbreviation of straight handle spinning.

As long as we are proficient in understanding the above little knowledge, and then according to the fish species we need to fish, we can easily choose the lure rod that suits us.
