Guide for novice fishing rod selection in wild fishing, principles for avoiding pitfalls

Recently, I have been fishing several times with a former owner of a fishing gear shop. In order to fill in my personal knowledge gaps about fishing gear, I have had a lot of conversations with him. Today, I will talk about the selection and purchase of new fishing gear for wild fishing according to my experience in using fishing gear over the years and his "roast".

Regarding the selection of fishing rods

This brother is elegant and easy-going. When asked why he doesn't work in a fishing gear store, he fell silent for a moment and said, 'Actually, it doesn't make much money. There are too many businesses, but that's not the point. The point is that I'm particularly afraid of those fishing friends who have just started fishing but have a lot of knowledge. They like to break the rod slightly.'. Originally, if the rod was broken, I could just match it with a knot. But at first, I noticed that he wasn't very experienced, so I recommended them to be more durable and cheap. I didn't listen to advice! If you insist on buying a 'one stop shop' worth six or seven hundred yuan, you will come to me within two days. Some even get angry and say that the rod is slightly broken, causing the big fish to run away! I have been telling people everywhere about my fishing rod trash, and when it comes to causing trouble, I have no choice but to admit defeat!

So, when it comes to fishing rods, it is always believed that they cannot be "one step at a time". Novices should choose cheap and durable fishing rods that are not easy to break and can even pull big fish. Especially for high carbon rods, if you tilt them at the wrong angle or lack experience in walking fish, they may break directly! Is there a problem with many experts recommending "one step at a time"? In fact, there is no problem because we may eventually pursue fishing rods that are light, hard, and straight, but this requires a process. With enough experience, experts will definitely have a different perspective.

You need to wait at least two to three years before using a high carbon rod is more suitable. This rod, or the first three sections, does not mean that you will not break just when fishing for small fish. In fact, you have seen it break many times when you go on the main line or when you close the rod. There was also a time when you saw a fishing friend's 7.2 fishing rod with a weight of over 1700, which broke directly when they lifted a less than half pound Luo Fei rod.
