Fishing rod requirements for beginners
The main problem for a beginner is that he cannot decide on the type of fishing. It will be the “calm water” of a lake or pond, a river with a strong current, fishing from a boat. It depends on the type of fishing rod and its layout. The best option is to purchase a universal model that can be adapted to specific fishing conditions in a short time.
When choosing, consider the following factors:
- Telescopic design. When folded, it has a minimum size, in contrast to the classics - a solid bamboo fishing rod. Requirements - in working order, no rattling, reliable fixation of all knees.
- Tooling. It is recommended to purchase several types of fishing line, floats and weights. Their characteristics depend on the size and weight of the future catch.
- Production material: carbon fiber, fiberglass or composite materials. It is important that there are no pronounced kinks during bending.
- Convenience. The rod should fit snugly in the hand, not slip. For attaching equipment (reels with fishing line), special clamps or a ribbed surface are provided.
Equipment is conditionally divided into types, depending on the type of fishing. To select the best model, you need to study the features of each.
Flywheel models
Throwing is performed by swinging movements. The range depends on the length of the working part of the fishing line and the length of the rod. To change the last parameter, it is recommended to purchase telescopic models. If this is not important, you can stop at the plug-in ones.
Design features:
- Standard. The length of the rod can reach 14 meters. Suitable for all types of fishing, recommended for beginners.
- bleak. Used for catching medium and small fish. Characterized by a thin body with a thickening for a comfortable grip, length - up to 4m. Scope - sport fishing.
- Reinforced rod. Designed for catching carp or similar fish species with a large mass. The size varies from 7 to 17 meters.

Match rods
Structurally, they are similar to flywheels. The difference lies in the possibility of installing a reel with fishing line. There are also guide rings located on the folding parts of the rod. The length of the latter varies from 3.6 to 4.8 m in working condition.
A novice fisherman should pay attention to the following features of match rods:
- Length - up to 4.2 m. Handling a larger one will require experience.
- Medium or soft hardness. It compensates for too sharp jerks when hooking a fish.
- Check for smooth running.
The cost of such models is slightly more expensive than flywheels - about 1,200 rubles. This is due to the complexity of the design and increased operational requirements for it.
fly fishing rod
Fly fishing is an exotic type of river fishing for Russia. A special narrow rod is used for it, a special cord is used instead of fishing line, a float is not needed in the equipment. The difficulty lies in the correct choice of the place of fishing and the observance of the technique of fishing. For beginners, this will be difficult.
The specifics of choosing a fly rod:
- Correctly choose the class that corresponds to the maximum mass of the fish. For beginners, the 7th is recommended.
- The number of knees is 2 or 4. The former are more reliable, the latter have the maximum possible length.
- The handle material is wood or cork.
All other factors do not greatly affect the quality of fishing. Popular models : DAM Backbone Fly 2.55m , Dragon Millenium Heavy Duty Trout Fly 2.70m, Lineaeffe Fly Stream. The cost is from 1300 rubles.
