One day
I just decided to buy a rod (after my daughter were pissing me off
about going out fishing)... I had no idea of what to look for; and of
course, when you are on the tackle shop...With all those possibilities
and brands, types materials etc... the choice becomes overwhelming.
Specialized
stores might have a salesman willing to help; but when you are taking
over 10 minutes and have literally no idea on how and why to spend
200 bucks on a rod.... they trend to leave you alone and hunt of
another customer....
Wall
mart superstores type of place are even better experience.... there
is nobody around. So chances of buying something completely wrong is
high.... usually when you have no idea of what you are doing, you end
up buying the cheapest thing you can find...
The
right equipment depends largely on what you intend to do with it.
...but there is the issue, I had no idea.
So I
started to investigate and stuff... and the info I found was more
likely people trying to sell me a specific brand or the overwhelming
info about specific types of rods and techniques... .so here I am
telling you what to do.
If you
look at the butt end of the rod, near the handle, you will see some
specifications printed on the rod. These printed specifications
usually tell you the length of the rod, the rod’s action, and the
range of line and lure size they are designed to cast.. within those
specifications, look for the following:
Buy a 6 to7 foot MEDIUM power rod.
