How to choose a sea fishing rod

People who are born near the sea coast somehow get the knack of sea fishing through constant practice and watching great anglers. They know which fishing rod is suitable for various situations, but for the beginner selecting a fishing rod can be an awe inspiring task. A megastore is the right place to buy all kinds of reel, fly rod and fishing boxes.

Beachcaster fishing rods

The most common sea fishing is done from the beach near the sea. A person doing this kind of fishing is called a beachcaster and the fishing rod used in this case is of a longer variety. A beachcaster’s rod can be 12 to 14 feet long. This gives the angler great reach up to the sweet spot where fish love to feed near the shore line. This long rod has to be supported by a lead cast weight of five to six oz. The art in this is the artistic casting with the rod reel which has to be very precise.

Dungeness and Chesil

A beachcaster is generally targeting fish like cod, pollack, dogfish, bass, flatfish, black bream, mackerel and rays. This kind of fishing is seen in England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland. An example of best sea shores to do this kind of fishing is Dungeness, Kent or Chesil, Dorset. A gentler version of this is of course the flies fly fishing using artificial bait which looks like a fly. It is done in shallow river waters and streams using rods which can be six feet to thirteen feet in length. Fishing rods are made of fibre glass or graphite.

Pier fishing

Sea fishing can also be done from a pier. For this, we need a different kind of fishing rod. This is a shorter kind of fishing rod and most people use a nine foot long one. It uses a cast weight of two to four ounces. Actually, every fish demands its own kind of rod. Let us take the example of fishing carp. The ideal rod is a two piece and twelve foot long one with a test curve of 4.5 lbs; this will involve buying special carp reels. Carp tackle is a specialty in itself.

Boat fishing deals

Finally, we come to the deep sea fishing rods. In this a boat is required and the best thing to do is for a few friends to go for good fishing deals with a boat operator. This is big time in fishing and equipment required can be costly so try fishing sales and fishing shops for good bargains. A lot of help can be got from boat forums on the Internet when it comes to discussing sea fishing rods and World Sea fishing trends.
