We've got all the fishing rods you need to make sure you're ready for your next fishing trip, from lightweight and compact to full-size rods ready to tackle the big ones.
What are the different types of fishing rods?
The main types of fishing rods include:
Spin rods are the most common rods, easy to use in lakes, rivers or boats and very adaptable to different conditions.
Casting rods are perfect for beginners and children as they're easy to use and offer great control.
Telescoping rods can pack up to a small size and be pulled out to different lengths. They're very lightweight, adaptable, and worth the investment for hikers and anyone short on storage.
Fly fishing rods are specially designed for fly reels and tackle, and work as a lever for casting accurately.
Ice fishing rods are essentially very short spin rods designed to allow anglers to easily fish from ice holes.
Trolling rods are specifically designed to be used from moving boats and feature stiff rods with large reels.
What features should I look for in a fishing rod?
Make sure you choose the right material. Fiberglass is the least expensive and offers the least flex. Graphite rods are very lightweight and offer a lot of flex. Composite rods offer the best of graphite and fiberglass rods. Bamboo rods are rare but offer a classic feel and smooth cast. A telescoping rod is a good choice if you need something compact for camping or kayak fishing. Finally, make sure you choose a rod that's compatible with your reel
What size fishing rod should I buy?
The length of rod you should buy comes down to personal preference and your style of fishing. Longer rods can cast further into the water, while shorter rods offer more control when playing the line and less bending when reeling in a fish. A good length to start with is 7 feet, which offers a mix of casting distance and control.
What's the difference between a fishing rod and a fishing pole?
There's no difference between the two, both terms are used to refer to fishing rods.
