Rod Fishing Guide for Beginners
Learn rod fishing from scratch. Everything you need to know: choosing equipment, learning techniques, and your first fishing experience.
Introduction
Rod fishing is one of the most enjoyable activities. This comprehensive guide will help you take your first steps into this exciting hobby.
Essential Equipment
1. Fishing Rod
Choosing the right rod is very important for beginners. We recommend a 2.70m - 3.60m rod. Medium action rods are ideal for beginners.
2. Fishing Reel
Choose a 3000-4000 size reel. The drag system should work smoothly. Quality brands like Shimano or Daiwa are good choices for starting.
3. Fishing Line
For beginners, 0.25mm - 0.30mm monofilament line is ideal. This thickness provides the right balance between durability and casting distance.
4. Hooks and Accessories
• Hooks: Size 1/0 - 4/0
• Swivels: Size 8-12
• Weights: Various sizes between 20-100g
• Bait: Live bait (sardines, shrimp) or artificial lures
Basic Fishing Techniques
1. Casting
Hold the rod correctly and cast at about 45 degrees. Open the bail of the reel during the cast and close it when the line enters the water.
2. Retrieval Technique
When using artificial lures, retrieve with rhythmic intervals. This movement attracts fish's attention.
3. Detecting Bites
When a fish bites, you'll feel vibration on the rod. Wait for the fish to bite firmly before setting the hook.
4. Hook Setting and Landing
Pull the rod upward to set the hook securely. Then, apply even pressure while fighting the fish and use the reel's drag system.
