One of the most important bits of your fishing equipment is the fishing rod or pole as you call it. A “fishing pole” is nothing but a simple rod from the tip of which we suspend the line with the hooked bait or lure. It is used to catch the fishes and then easily reel them back in. In contrast to how it sounds, fishing poles are very sophisticated casting tools that are fixed with line guides and a spool for the stowage line. All fishing equipments generate a great market all around the world, and fishing poles are no exception to the same.

Not unlike the other equipments fishing rods also vary according to the type of fishing they are used for. Basically we have the coarse fishing rods, spin cast fishing rods, spinning fishing rods, the fly-fishing rods and the ice fishing rods.

These high tech poles are made from different materials which in turn affect their performance as well as cost. The coarse fishing rod is heavier and more powerful and so it can stand the stress and strain of the larger fish.

Fishing rods can be found in sizes between 24 inches and 20 feet, varying in action as well as length. The longer the rod, the greater the mechanical advantage in casting. They vary in length from 3 to 20 meters which allows the exact placing of the bait, which enables us to catch huge quantities of fish in a shorter span of time.

In deep sea fishing, coarse rods are used as they are more durable. If you are planning on catching small fishes, use small powerful fishing rods, which can be spin, cast or spinning fishing rods. Fly-fishing rods need more flexible rods hence are longer and lighter compared to other rods. For ice-fishing, usually a short

Heavyweight spin and casting rod, which is more durable and cold resistant is used. Saltwater fishing rods are surf casting fishing rods designed from the shore or rocky outcroppings from the shore. It must be longer and stronger.

All these rods come in various sizes, ranging from size 0 rods for the negligible freshwater trout, up to size 16 for big saltwater gamefish.

You can decide your size on the following factors

* How frequently you fish? If you are a pro then you may put in a lot of cash and get the best available in your size, but for novices you need to go to the local stores and find one which suits you as well as your budget.
* Secondly decide the type of fishing you will be pursuing.
* Choose between spinning and casting species.
* The rod should be according to your style of fishing

This was all about the various rods according to heir fishing types.

Fishing rods are not chosen randomly. It is only over the years that you realize the rod you are most comfortable with and then you need to put in your cash and get good professional fishing poles.
