How to Choose the Right Fishing Rod
- Rod Length: Shorter rods (5–6 ft) = accuracy and close combat (great for docks and kayak fishing). Longer rods (7–10 ft) = casting distance and better line control (ideal for surf and float fishing).
- Rod Power: Ultralight for panfish/trout, Medium for bass/walleye, Heavy for catfish, musky, and saltwater species.
- Rod Action: Fast action for sensitivity (jigs, plastics), Moderate for crankbaits, Slow for live bait and cane poles.
- Match to Reel: Spinning rods pair with spinning reels, casting rods with baitcasters, fly rods with fly reels, etc.
