You need to mix the action and the weight in a manner to permit you has the best rod for the fishing condition. Having the right rod for the condition is going to result in more fish hooked. The length of the fishing rod is very important factor to consider. A long-handled rod allows for more casting distance. It covers more open water where long two-handed casts are required. The longer handle also gives you much more power when playing a large fish than a short-handled rod. It allows you to move line quicker.
It provides better hook-sets from a distance. It provides a shock-absorber action and also can give you more control on fish during the fight. Basic physics principles will tell you that a longer fishing rod gives you the preferred casting action, it allows you to cast at a greater distance by adding tip speed during the wider swing of the cast.
The increased speed easily translates to farther casts. The longer the rod, the greater the mechanical advantage in casting, the further you can cast and the less effort is needed to reach that target. Longer rods are used for bigger bait and bigger fish.
The bigger the fish, the longer the cast, so the longer the rod should be. Longer rod is also allows for better line control, it affects your ability to fight against a fish.
The greater length provides a shock-absorber action to protect line from breaking when a fish is flipping and flopping, pulling and running, jumping and swirling, or making a strong leap. Longer length allows you to fish in a wide area of the water, on the other side of the river or allow you to reach a longer distance without changing the fishing spot.
Longer rods will give you better leverage over the line and the bait and require smaller movement by angler to set the hook for effective striking. Using a longer rod will also give you a huge advantage when playing fish, keeping it away from snags. A shorter, thicker fishing rod will be able to provide better leverage for "pumping" a powerful kind of fish from deeper water. The shorter rod provides more control and maneuverability, allowing you to flick cast in tight areas much easier.
As a beginner, it will be confusing to understand these weights, so here are some guidelines that you can follow. As a rule of thumb, the fishing pole will not load right if the fishing lure is too lightweight.
It will only result in a shorter casting distance. On the other hand, the rod will charge too much if it has a too heavy fishing lure. As a result, it will give you a sluggish cast. So, you must understand the appropriate lure weight for your fishing line and pole. Once you have the right weighted lure, your fishing rod and line will work correctly.
The rod will load properly, and it will result in an optimal casting distance. Just as an example, 1 to 2. It will always depend on the type of pole, fishing line, and fish species that you want to catch. The optimal weight of the fishing line is essential in classifying the rod. They come in pounds of tensile force before the line parts. Each line weight represents a standard weight in grains for the first 30 feet established by the American Fishing Tackle Manufacturing Association.
On the other hand, the line may part prematurely if the line weight is significantly less than the recommended range of the rod. Therefore, you should also consider the rod action in choosing the appropriate line weight. Sometimes errors happen when the rods are marked That is a more reasonable rating for a Heavy rod.
I believe the weight rating are sort of a guide line but not a rule to follow. I think commonsense is in order when using lures that are over or under the limit. I just look at the weight ratings as a way for the manufacture to tell us that is where the rod performs best. You can go way past a rods rating and still throw a bait out there. That is fine and all but what is really important "I think" is can it handle the bait after.
Does what it takes to handle the resistance of it? Even more so when it comes down to it will it have enough power to actually move the bait after a bite and be able to actually penetrate the hook? I highly doubt I would have what it take to convert on many bites.
I tried long ago and came to realize its not casting it that was the problem it was the power you need after that is really important. Old topic Labeled lure weight on 1st. Will rod 1 with the lighter top end lure weight suggestion likely be more limber when playing a caught bass?
If it works as intended, it works. Does it make sense to assume that narrowing the lure weight spread to the lighter end of the suggested parameter a rod company is indicating the rod is of a SLIGHTLY lighter action than a similar rod with a lure weight spread that extends heavier? So among the same brands your hypothesis probably holds true but across brands good luck!!! You can post now and register later. If you have an account, sign in now to post with your account.

The table above compares different fishing rod power categories with the corresponding line and lure weights they should be paired with, as well as the species they are ideally suited for. Refer to the fishing rod size chart above, and find the fishing rod capacity that best matches the type of fish you plan to catch.
In some cases, the pole weight you need to choose is determined not only by the species you want to catch, but also by the fishing application you plan to use. See also : The best frog rod reviewed.
But you can also use Heavy, or even Extra Heavy power poles for bass fishing, if you plan to cast extra large lures, or fish close to cover. For more details on how to do this, check out our fishing rod length guide and chart. See also : What is the best rod for chatterbaits? Once you have decided what rod power you want to get, you are ready to choose the right fishing reel size to pair with it. In order to do this, use the line rating of the pole to find a reel with similar line rating.
For example, if you want to match a spinning reel to your rod, just use the recommended line rating of the rod to find a reel that has a similar recommended line rating.
You can use our spinning reel size chart to find the best size to pair with your pole. This wraps up our article on fishing rod weight rating.
