Matching Your Fishing Rod To The Fishing Situation (telescopic fishing rod)

Many anglers neglect to take into account the importance of their fishing rod for varying fishing situations. As a matter of fact, some anglers have one or two rods, and that's it. If they're going trout fishing they use the same rod as they do if they are trying to catch carp. This is a mistake. You need to have different fishing rods for different fishing situations. The biggest reason for this is that it will help you catch more fish. If the wrong fishing rod is being used, bites will be much more difficult to detect, and therefore less fish will be caught. -telescopic fishing rod



A great example is with river fishing. Most of my time is spent river fishing for trout. I prefer to use ultra light gear, including my rods and reels. My normal ultralight fishing rod is five feet long and it works great for me in the summer and fall. But in the spring, when the water is high, it's very difficult to fish with. So I switch to my six foot six inch ultra light rod when the water's high in the spring. The longer rod makes it easier to "feel" my bait and keep it at or near the bottom. With the shorter rod, this is almost impossible. My longer ultra light rod also gives me added casting distance, so in situations where making long casts is necessary, I use my longer rod.
