The success of fishing largely depends on the correct choice of fishing tackle. This applies entirely to spinning. The trade network provides amateurs with a large number of brands of rods and accessories to choose from, including spinning reels. How not to be mistaken in the choice of gear and choose it in the best way?
Instructions
Step 1
Do not neglect the simplest way to choose your fishing tackle - seek advice from experienced hobby anglers who you trust. Fishing communities have long settled in the net, and each of the fishermen will be happy to share their experience of spinning and the problems they face when fishing with this or that tool. And yet, try to get the minimum information about the types of spinning rods and their features, this will help you make a more informed decision.
Step 2
Pay attention to the material from which the spinning rod is made. Manufacturing firms use different markings, so you should be guided by the price category when buying. Most often, the tackle is made of carbon fiber reinforced plastic. With a spinning rod price of up to a thousand rubles, it can be assumed that the rod contains fiberglass. It makes the spinning rod stronger, but less elastic. The relationship here is the opposite: the lighter and more sensitive the rod, the more fragile it will be.
Step 3
Evaluate the quality of the guides. It is important for the rings to be light, this helps to increase the sensitivity of the spinning rod and its balance. The number of rings should be optimal. If there are too many of them, the tackle will be overloaded, and with a small number of rings, breakdowns are possible. The most general recommendation is that the number of rings should be such that the line does not give a sharp angle when passing through them. Aluminum oxide rings have proven themselves well.
Step 4
When choosing, do not forget about the tool handle and reel seat. Cork handles are widespread. Unlike the cork handle, the cheaper neoprene makes the tackle cooler. Check the tightness of the handle to the base of the spinning rod. Take the spinning rod in your hand and see how comfortable it is to hold it. To check the reel seat, it is advisable to already have the reel with you and try it on at the attachment point.
Step 5
Now about the length of the tackle. A normal spinning rod has a length of 2-3 m. For a beginner, the best option is a rod with a length of about 2.5 m. The length will affect the casting distance of the bait and the quality of playing fish. A short spinning rod allows you to be more mobile when changing fishing places and is more convenient when transporting. Choose a length that makes fishing more comfortable for you.
Step 6
The spinning reel is also an important part of this fishing gear. First of all, check the smoothness of the ride. The easier the mechanism rotates, the more comfortable the fishing. Also pay attention to the method of attaching the reel to the spinning rod, as not every rod and reel is compatible.
Step 7
Listen to how quiet the reel is when spinning. The rotation of the rotor should be so smooth as to ensure the quietest possible rotation.
Step 8
Finally, pay attention to the handle folding system. Worst of all, it is inserted into the spool with a hex wrench, which is screwed in with a mounting screw (the thin thread will quickly fail). The push-button system is most convenient when the button is installed on the back of the handle, and not on the side.
