TYPES OF SALTWATER RODS & REELS
Here are five important factors everyone should consider when purchasing saltwater fishing rods and reels:
- The length and power: The longer rods will grant a longer fishing cast. The shorter rods prove more power for close quarters fishing. A rod’s activity will range from "fast" to "slow" with slower ones having higher amounts of control thanks to the ability to bend more. The pound-test line and lure weights are also important attributes when selecting the rod type for you.
- In terms of material, most saltwater rods contain graphite or fiberglass. You'll find graphite rods stiffer, with fiberglass rods being sturdier to maintain more power for each catch.
- Knowing about reel speed is important. The high-speed saltwater reels have a greater than six to one gear ratio for fast bait retrieval. The low-speed reels fall under a ratio of four to one while offering more power for fighting bigger fish.
- Line capacity is an equally important factor to consider for picking your saltwater fishing rods and reels. Line capacity is the marking of your reel body to measure in feet or yards per pound of the catch on your current line. Gauging your drag pressure will aid you in keeping a steady number so that your fishing rod does not break.
- It's a good sign when your saltwater fishing reels match the recommended line weights marked on the rod. Matching the recommended lure weight with the appropriate bait size or lure is always a surefire way to obtain consistent functionality in your product.
