Is Your Fishing Rod The Right Kind To Land The Big One

If you are contemplating the purchase of a new fly fishing rod, you may think you already know exactly what it is that you want to purchase. However, if you are unsure as to what is the best way to go about deciding on your investment, consider the information below before making your purchase.

The 4WD is packed, the family is ready to go, and the fish are biting along the coast. What a dream! But is your fishing rod and tackle the right kind to land the big one? We offer advice on choosing the right surf fishing rod.

There are numerous considerations when buying the right gear for surf fishing including – wait for it - your age. That’s great isn’t it – even fishing can make you feel older.

Basically, you have three categories of surf fishing rods from which to choose: lure rod, bait rod, and a combination of the two.

Bait rods can be used for casting lures, but they are primarily designed for fishing with bait.

Rods with medium actions and fairly stiff tips make good tools for casting the heavy sinkers and large baits used in surf fishing.

Avoid using fishing rods with soft bendy tips because they tend to over bend on the cast. This diffuses the power from the cast, decreasing the speed of the bait as it leaves the rod tip. The end result is a shorter cast, which is not what you are after. The aim is to fish with a rod that will help you achieve your best possible casting distance.
