The Fishing Rods

Fishing Rods get their reputation of being the world's most strongest, yet most sensitive rod. They even have commercials showing people trying to break these rods to demonstrate their sheer power. Well, what is the truth? The truth is they are right. No, I'm not saying you can't break these rods. Of course you can break any rod! The point is I can personally say from experience these rods are awesome in every way. They are sensitive enough to feel every bite, but tough enough to last 20 plus years. I've had an Ugly Stik Casting Rod now since the late 80's and I still use it to this day. Are they better than the Shakespeare Fishing Rods overall? Overall no, but in specific situations any particular rod can be better depending on how much money you want to spend. Anyway, the point is for the money, the Ugly Stik is the best overall quality rod hands down. You simply can not find a better rod for 30-50 dollars. Why do you think they have been around for so long? Somebody knows something or they would have stopped making them a long, long time ago.

Fishing Rods have going for them is variety. Not just variety in how many rods they sell either, but also variety in all the people who choose this rod. These rods are made for the children, for the ladies, for the beginners, and for the masters. I can definitely say the Shakespeare Ugly Stik is the rod of our time. No doubt about it. The very first thing you need to learn about setting up and using your fly fishing equipment is that there is always two ways to do everything involved with the sport. Well, maybe not always, sometime there are three or more ways to do it. Every fly fishing book you read will give you a slightly different take on the best way to do everything. This duality runs through the entire sport. The rod length might be around six feet for fishing small streams and up to fifteen feet when fishing salt water flats. The most recent trend in fly fishing rods is toward shorter and lighter rods as fishing in smaller bodies of water for different species has become popular. Still, you need to match the rod to the type of fishing you are planning or else expect to get several rods of different sizes.

When you are learning how to set up a fly fishing rod, give special attention to the line selection. Unlike casting rods, the line is more known for other attributes than just break strength. Quality line is essential. The big problem is what is called reel memory. The line must be played out fairly straight and natural to give the best presentation of the fly. Reel memory is where the line twists when played out due to being wound on the reel. Higher quality fly fishing line has virtually no reel memory. The rod has been ranked at the top because unlike its counterparts it is light and more sensitive. This triple built blank is made with a glass exterior design and a graphite interior design. In addition, it has snake guides of stainless steel, a cock grip with a hooker on top, blank-through handle, and aluminum oxide guides. Specially designed to tackle a wide range of species ranging from small to large fish. This stik rod is one of the best from Shakespeare. This rod is affordable and convenient for those who are interested in fishing with braid. In addition, the Ugly Stik is popular for its progressive, yet smooth, power flow when handling small fish types as well as reservation of energy for handling big fish.
