Fishing with a spinning rod is one of the most exciting types of fishing. In order for it to be pleasant and effective, it is necessary to choose a high-quality and comfortable spinning rod that meets all the requirements for it.
Instructions
Step 1
If you want to buy a comfortable and "catchy" spinning rod, just look at which models are used by the most successful anglers and buy the same one. The method is especially convenient if you go fishing far enough from home, to the same body of water. Local anglers are usually well aware of all its features, so they choose the most suitable tackle.
Step 2
In the event that you prefer to choose a spinning rod yourself, do not rush to purchase the first one that comes across. As a rule, good quality goods are sold out very quickly, only the most expensive or poor samples remain on the shelves. Go to fishing shops, ask the price. Compare the characteristics of spinning rods, their convenience, appearance. Buy a spinning rod only after you have a fairly complete picture of the models on the market.
Step 3
Pay attention to the material of the spinning rod. It can be made of CFRP (carbon fiber, graphite) or fiberglass. Many models use composite structures. CFRP is more resilient than fiberglass, but also much more fragile. Therefore, do not seek to buy expensive models - they are sensitive, light, but require proper and careful handling. If you need a practical and reliable fishing gear, look for models with the presence of fiberglass. The length of the spinning rod should be between two and three meters.
Step 4
The material of the handle of the spinning rod can be very different. Cork or neoprene is most commonly used. For models with a price of more than 1-2 thousand rubles, the quality of the handle is usually at its best, so just choose the material that is more pleasant to you to the touch.
Step 5
Pay attention to the reel seat, it should fit the reel you have. If you purchase a reel from the same store, try it on immediately. When buying a reel in another store, first purchase it, and only then buy a spinning rod. Or, if you did buy a spinning rod first, take it with you to the store - otherwise, the purchased reel may simply not fit.
Step 6
Take a close look at the spinning rings. They must be tightly wound, chips and notches are unacceptable on them. The number of rings is a controversial issue, it all depends on your personal taste, the length of the spinning rod and its strength. The guides should distribute the load evenly over the entire length of the rod.
Step 7
Spinning rods are characterized by concepts such as test and action. The test is matched to the bait used. For example, for a bait weighing 10 grams, the test should be within 20 grams. It is usually indicated on the spinning blank next to the handle. If you buy a spinning rod with a dough of 5-25 grams, you can use lures of a fairly wide weight range.
Step 8
The structure of the spinning rod characterizes the degree of its bending. With a fast action, only the top of the rod bends while playing the fish. With the middle line, the top and the middle part are bent. At slow speed - all spinning. Choose the option that you like best.
