Which rod should you choose?

Lure weight

To choose your rod correctly, you must first take into account the weight of the lures you will be casting. The maximum weight must not exceed the intended usage range for the rod.

Rod length

Then, as far as length is concerned, a boat rod will tend to be shorter (up to about 2.30m) in order to stay within the sonar beam, for example, but also because, unlike a rod for fishing far from the bank which will tend to be longer (from 2.40-50m), you will have less need to navigate around obstacles, cast into the wind, etc.

Whether you are a beginner or an experienced angler, a sea bass, pike, or zander fisherman, etc., make your choice and get ready to experience epic battles with incredibly powerful opponents.
