Fishing tackle designed for catching various types of fish is called a fishing rod. But not every angler knows how to choose the right one for a given situation. Fishing rods vary in type and are divided into three categories:
- Spinning;
- Float fishing rod;
- Fly fishing rod.
In general, all types of fishing rods have essentially the same components: a reel, line, hooks, and sinkers. Only fly fishing rods have a fly line and a fly rod, while float rods are equipped with a float. Spinning rods can also have distinctive fishing features, such as snap hooks, guides, and other accessories.
What influences the choice of a fishing rod?
When choosing the right fishing gear, you need to consider what body of water and fishing method it is intended for.
Spinning
A popular tackle for catching predators in various rivers and lakes, using wobblers, spinners, mice, and other lures. They come in telescopic and plug-in versions. Composite alloy is currently one of the best materials for this type of rod.
Float tackle
Fishing rods with floats have undergone various changes. While folding bamboo rods were once used, today they are convenient and lightweight telescopic rods equipped with a float, sinker, and hooks. These days, fishing rods are also equipped with reels, making them more convenient for fishing from a boat or shore.
Fly fishing rod
These short, spinning-like fishing rods differ in that they use cords instead of fishing line. Fishing is done in a fly-fishing style.
Variety of fishing rods and fishing techniques
- A telescopic spinning rod is considered one of the most popular fishing rods. It's made of several compact sections of varying thicknesses, allowing them to be folded into one another. The rod's convenience includes quick unfolding and transport, as it takes up less space.
- Feeder rods are designed for fishing with feeders. They are longer and equipped with bottom tackle. Both types are equipped with different tackle and are suitable for catching large fish species.
- Winter fishing rods vary in their characteristics. They are short and can be equipped with reels and flags. They are often used for deep-water fishing from a boat, even in warmer weather. They lack long-distance casting capabilities, so they are used for catching fish under steep banks or from a boat.
- Bolognese rods allow you to catch fish from a distance. They can cast bait, which is something a pole fishing rod can't boast. However, they have similar characteristics.
What gear is used for rafting along the Putorana Plateau routes?
Trophy fishing trips allow you to use a variety of fishing gear. It's important to consider the body of water and the type of fish found there. Spinning rods and fly rods are most commonly used. However, if you prefer, you can also try fishing with a float rod in slower currents.
For example, by taking trophy fishing trips along the Yenisei River, as the river is abundant with various species of fish. While spinning and fly fishing are more suitable for catching noble predators like taimen, grayling, whitefish, and lenok, a float rod will help you target ide, roach, bream, and carp.
