Deciphering the Different Kinds of Fishing Rods (telescopic fishing rod)

All fishing rods are not made the same. There are a variety of rods available and if you are a seasoned fisherman this is something you will know well. Some of the most common types of fishing rods include the bass fishing rod, the trout fishing rod and the crappie fishing rod.

Both freshwater bass as well as the saltwater kind are one of the most common and most popular of all game fish. The reason for this is that bass are fighting fish and they make excellent opponents for the avid fisherman. For this reason when it comes to bass fishing rods, you need to find one that can put with a lot of abuse. Bass will often cause a fishing rod to be battered about and bent in every direction. Bear in mind that there are many different types of bass fishing rods because these fish can range in size from small to medium to large. Always purchase a bass rod that is strong, durable and resilient. In particular the fiberglass rods can withstand more of a bending motion than the graphite rods.

Trout fishing rods do not take as much abuse as the former, and in general trout do not fight as much and they are lighter in size than bass. The average pole for a trout rod will range from seven feet to ten feet. If you enjoy both lake fishing as well as stream fishing for trout then you are well advised to buy a pole that is approximately nine feet in length. Most trout fishing rods are made from graphite, which should be sturdy enough, although you can find some that are available in fiberglass.

The length of a crappie fishing rod depends on what the fisherman personally prefers. Always make sure you buy a rod that is light in weight. The reason for this is that these types of rods will get snapped and "jigged" about a lot and you don't want to injure your hand or wrist in the process. Crappies are rather tiny fish so catching them with this type of rod should not be a problem. Keep the type of fishing you are planning to do in mind when you shop for fishing rods.
