What Are the Best Fishing Rod Types for Beginners?
There are plenty of fishing rods available for beginners, but the two most popular are spinning rods and bait-caster rods. A spinning rod is very common and has an open-faced reel with a cover that you flip over after casting. These are affordable rods that are simple to learn and use. The other common type is a bait-caster, which is one of the most recognizable fishing rods. It features a reel with a button that you press when casting, allowing the line to fly out. These are solid options for light lures and basic fishing. Additionally, if you're teaching someone young how to fish, both of these types of fishing poles are extremely simple and easy for them to grasp and learn how to use.
What Size Rod Is Best for All Around Fishing?
Fishing rods range from light to heavy, with many sizes in between. The best rod size for general purpose and casual fishing is a medium-strength rod that is between 6 and 7 feet long. This is short and easy enough to maneuver for regular bass fishing at a local lake to more intense fishing, like off a pier. Additionally, this size of fishing rod fits neatly into most vehicles and boats without causing issues. You can also go a little larger with a medium-heavy rod, especially if you're targeting larger fish.
How Many Rods Should I Fish With?
Many anglers have several rods for a wide variety of scenarios, but this isn't always necessary. It's a luxury to have a different rod for every fishing trip, but most people will do just fine with around two to three rods. This lets you get a good range of light to heavy fishing rods, as well as a mix of reel and casting types. With a small selection of fishing poles, you can cover everything from crappie and bass fishing to catfish and more.
