Summary

In intensive fish competitions, it is necessary to hit and lift the rod thousands of times a day. Even if only a few grams of weight are added to the rod, the labor intensity will make a big difference.

Before buying a fishing rod, first determine the length of the fishing rod to be purchased, whether to buy a long fishing rod of more than one meter or a short fishing rod of about 600mm in length. Don't underestimate the importance of these interfaces. In intensive fish competitions, it is necessary to hit and lift the rod thousands of times a day. Even if only a few grams of weight are added to the rod, the labor intensity will make a big difference. The advantage of the short-section pole is that it is easy to carry, whether it is placed in the basket or in the pole bag, and it can even be tied horizontally to the rear hanger of the bicycle without much influence. The disadvantage of the short section bar is more interface, not only the force is not as uniform as the long section bar, compared with the long section bar, under the premise of the same length, the weight of the short section bar is also higher.

In contrast, longer rod-shaped bodies are prone to injury. To illustrate this problem, two rods of different lengths were tied to a basket hanging on the back of the bicycle. The bicycle suddenly fell to the ground, and the long rod suffered some serious damage. The reason is very simple. The speed of the two bicycles landing is the same, and the speed of movement is different from the top of the two rods. The radius of movement of the long rod is larger than that of the short rod. Therefore, the moving speed is much higher than that of the short rod. The influence of the long part of the rod is mainly that the top of the long rod easily drops. About brand and price For a competitive angler, brand and price are a very important issue, because it is related to their face and their ranking. Competitive fishing rods are all carbon rods, and its price includes two major factors, one is the brand, and the other is the material and craftsmanship. Competitive fishing rod has high requirements for weight. Under the premise of ensuring hardness, the lighter the weight, the better. The material used to make carbon rods is carbon cloth, which is divided into different grades. The higher the grade of the material, the lighter the weight and the higher the price, so the price of the rod is high.

There are strict restrictions on the length of the pole in the championship. There are basically three kinds of poles permitted to be used in the championship: 3.6 meters, 4.5 meters and 5.4 meters. It is basically enough to equip each length with soft and hard poles. In contrast, the number of recreational anglers equipped with poles is less than that of competitive anglers. For a casual angler, brand and price compared to the brand is not very important, the price occupies the forefront.

Every recreational angler is constantly buying and knocking out rods, and there are many recreational anglers who own dozens of rods. Especially for those old anglers with decades of fishing experience, each rod of length and hardness is basically fully equipped. Every time you travel, you have to bring several rods of different lengths, and choose the right length according to the water conditions.
