Fishing with a fishing rod

- Рыболовный стержень это длинный тонкий стержень, используемый рыболовами , чтобы ловить рыбу , манипулируя линией , заканчивающейся крючком (ранее известным как угол , отсюда и термин «рыбалка»). В своей основной форме рыболовная стержень представляет собой прямую жесткую палочку/шест с линией, прикрепленной к одному концу (как видно в традиционной рыбалке Тенкары ); Тем не менее, современные стержни обычно упругие и, как правило, имеют линию, хранящуюся в катушке, установленной на ручке стержня, которая управляется вручную и контролирует поиск линии, а также многочисленные кольца, ограничивающие линии (также известные как линии ), которые распределяют изгибание напряжения вдоль стержня и помогает ослаблять/предотвратить разбивание линии и запутанность. Чтобы лучше соблазнить рыбу, приманки или приманки одеты на один или несколько крючков, прикрепленных к линии, и индикатор укуса используется , некоторые из которых (например, наконечник дрожания ) могут быть включены как часть самого стержня.

Fishing rods act as an extended lever and allow the angler to amplify line movements while luring and pulling the fish. It also enhances casting distance by increasing the launch speed of the terminal tackles (the hook, bait/lure, and other co-launched attachments such as float and sinker/feeder), as a longer swing radius (compared to that of a human arm) corresponds to greater arc speed at the tip under the same angular velocity. The length of fishing rods usually vary between 0.6 m (2 ft) and 4.6 m (15 ft) depending on the style of angling, while the Guinness World Record is 22.45 m (73 ft 7.9 in).

Traditional fishing rods are made from a single piece of hardwood (such as ash and hickory) or bamboo; while contemporary rods are usually made from alloys (such as aluminium) or more often high-tensile synthetic composites (such as fibreglass or carbon fiber), and may come in multi-piece or telescoping forms that are more portable and storage-friendly. Most fishing rods are tapered towards the tip to reduce the gravitational leverage front of the handle that an angler has to overcome when lifting the rod. Many modern rods are also constructed from hollow blanks to increase the specific strength of the design and reduce the overall weight.

In contrast with fishing nets and traps, which are usually used in subsistence and commercial fishing, angling with rods is a far less efficient method of catching fish, and is used more often in recreational fishing and competitive casting, which focus less on the yield and more on the experience. Fishing rods also come in many sizes, actions, hardness and configurations depending on whether they are to be used for small, medium or large fish or in different fresh or saltwater situations. Various types of fishing rods are designed for specific subtypes of angling, for instance: spin fishing rods (both spinning and baitcasting rods) are optimized for frequent, repeated casting, and are usually lighter and have faster action; fly rods are designed to better sling heavy lines and ultralight artificial flies, and are usually much more flexible; surfcasting rods are designed to cast baits or lures out over far distances, and tends to be quite long; ice fishing rods are designed to fish through small drilled holes in ice covered lakes and usually very short; and trolling rods are designed to drag heavy bait or lures through water while boat fishing, and usually have greater ultimate tensile strength due to the large sizes of the target fish.

History

Fly fishing

Trading card of the Ustonson company, an early firm specializing in fishing rods, and holder of a Royal Warrant from the 1760s

The art of fly fishing took a great leap forward after the English Civil War, where a newly found interest in the activity left its mark on the many books and treatises that were written on the subject at the time. The renowned officer in the Parliamentary army, Robert Venables, published in 1662 The Experienced Angler, or Angling improved, being a general discourse of angling, imparting many of the aptest ways and choicest experiments for the taking of most sorts of fish in pond or river. Compleat Angler was written by Izaak Walton in 1653 (although Walton continued to add to it for a quarter of a century) and described the fishing in the Derbyshire Wye. It was a celebration of the art and spirit of fishing in prose and verse; six verses were quoted from John Dennys's earlier work. A second part to the book was added by Walton's friend Charles Cotton.

The 18th century was mainly an era of consolidation of the techniques developed in the previous century. Running rings began to appear along the fishing rods, which gave anglers greater control over the cast line. The rods themselves were also becoming increasingly sophisticated and specialized for different roles. Jointed rods became common from the middle of the century and bamboo came to be used for the top section of the rod, giving it a much greater strength and flexibility.

The industry also became commercialized – rods and tackle were sold at the haberdashers store. After the Great Fire of London in 1666, artisans moved to Redditch which became a centre of production of fishing related products from the 1730s. Onesimus Ustonson established his trading shop in 1761, and his establishment remained as a market leader for the next century. He received a Royal Warrant from three successive monarchs starting with King George IV.

Technological improvements

The impact of the Industrial Revolution was first felt in the manufacture of fly lines. Instead of anglers twisting their own lines, a laborious and time-consuming process, the new textile spinning machines allowed for a variety of tapered lines to be easily manufactured and marketed.

The material used for the rod itself changed from the heavy woods native to England, to lighter and more elastic varieties imported from abroad, especially from South America and the West Indies. Bamboo rods became the generally favored option from the mid 19th century, and several strips of the material were cut from the cane, milled into shape, and then glued together to form light, strong, hexagonal rods with a solid core that were superior to anything that preceded them.

Other materials used, were Tonkin bamboo Calcutta reed, ash wood, hickory, ironwood, maple, lancewood, or malacca cane. These products were light, tough, and pliable. Rods were generally made in three pieces called a butt, midsection, and tip. The butts were frequently made of maple, with bored bottom; this butt outlasted several tops. Midsections were generally made from ironwood because it was a thicker, strong wood. Tips were generally made from bamboo for its elasticity which could throw the bait further and more accurately. Handles and grips were generally of cork, wood, or wrapped cane. Many different types of glue held these sections together, most commonly Irish glue and bone glue. This was until hilton glue, or cement glue, was introduced because of its waterproof qualities. Even today, Tonkin split-bamboo rods are still popular in fly fishing.

Until the mid-1800s rods were generally made in England. This changed in 1846 when American Samuel Phillippe introduced an imported fishing rod the first six strips of Calcutta cane made in Bavaria where Phillippe was importing Violins that he passed off as his own hand work. Split-cane rods were later independently produced after Phillippe started to sell the imported rods to a New York retailer and then copied by Americans Charles Orvis, Hiram Leonard and Englishman William Hardy in the 1870s and mass production methods made these rods accessible to the public. Horton Manufacturing Company first introduced an all steel rod in 1913. These rods were heavy and flexible and did not satisfy many customers. The next big occurrence in fishing rods was the introduction of the fiberglass rod in the 1940s and was developed by Robert Gayle and a Mr. Mcguire.

Boron and Graphite rods came around in the 1960s and 1970s when the United States and United Kingdom invested considerable research into developing the new technologies. Hewitt and Howald were the first to come up with a way to lay the fibers into the shape of a fishing rod by wrapping them around a piece of balsa wood. However, by 1977, boron fibre technology had been muscled out by the cheaper material graphite and was no longer competitive in the market.

Rods for travelers were made with nickel-silver metal joints, or ferrules, that could be inserted into one another forming the rod. Some of them were made to be used as a walking cane until needed for sport. Since the 1980s, with the advent of flexible, yet stiff graphite ferrules, travel rod technology has greatly advanced, and multi-piece travel rods that can be transported in a suitcase or backpack constitute a large share of the market.

Modern design

In theory, an ideal rod should gradually taper from butt to tip, be tight in all its joints (if any), and have a smooth, progressive taper, without 'dead spots'. Modern design and fabrication techniques, along with advanced materials such as graphite, boron, magnesium alloy and fiberglass composites as well as stainless steel (see Emmrod) – have allowed rod makers to tailor both the shape and action of fishing rods for greater casting distance, accuracy, and fish-fighting qualities. Today, fishing rods are identified by their weight (meaning the weight of line or lure required to flex a fully loaded rod) and action (describing the speed with which the rod returns to its neutral position).

Generally there are three types of rods used today graphite, fiberglass, and bamboo rods. Bamboo rods are the heaviest of the three, but people still use it for its feel. Fiberglass rods are the heaviest of the new chemically-made material rods. They are mostly popular with the new and young anglers, as well as anglers who cannot afford the generally more expensive graphite rods. They are more commonly found among those anglers that fish in rugged areas such as on rocks or piers where knocking the rod on hard objects is a greater possibility. This may potentially cause breakage, making a fiberglass rod preferable for some anglers due to its higher durability and affordability compared to graphite rods. Today's most popular rod tends to be graphite for its light weight characteristics and its ability to allow for further and more accurate cast. Graphite rods tend to be more sensitive, allowing the user to feel bites from fish easier.

Modern fishing rods retain cork as a common material for grips. Cork is light, durable, and keeps warm. EVA foam and carbon fiber grips are also used. Reel seats are often of graphite-reinforced plastic, aluminium, or wood. Guides are available in steel and titanium with a wide variety of high-tech ceramic and metal alloy inserts replacing the classic agate inserts of earlier rods.

Back- or butt-rests can also be used with modern fishing rods to make it easier to fight large game fish. These are fork-like supports that help keep the rod in position, providing leverage and counteracting tensions caused by a caught fish.

Rod making bench

An old rod-making bench would generally consist of a 6-to-8-foot (2 to 2.5 m) bench, vice, a drawing knife, a jack, a fore plane, large coarse flat file, sand paper, and several strips of wood about 2 feet (60 cm) long with different size grooves in them. Newer rod building benches are smaller versions of lathes powered by small motors that turn the rod as thread is applied to secure the guides. The motor is controlled by a foot operated rheostat, similar to that found on a sewing machine. A low rpm motor can be used to apply rod finish, typically a two-part resin, to protect the threads.

Specifications

There are several specifications manufacturers use to delineate rod uses. These include power, action, line weight, lure weight, and number of pieces.

Power value

Also known as "rod weight", the power value of a fishing rod implies its stiffness by vaguely describing the force needed to produce a certain degree of flexion upon the rod, and may be classified as ultra-light (UL), light (L), medium-light (ML), medium (M), medium-heavy (MH), heavy (H), extra-heavy (XH), or other similar combinations. It is often an indicator of what styles of fishing, species of target fish, or size of fish a particular rod may be best suited for. The power of the rod describes its strength ability, the heavier the rod's power is, the more weight the rod can lift up easily without snapping in half. Being stiffer than light or ultralight rods, the heavy power rods are less sensitive. But the bites from larger fish to heavy lures are not hard to detect. Ultra-light rods are suitable for catching small baitfish and panfish, or situations where rod responsiveness is critical. Heavy/extra-heavy rods are used in deep-sea fishing, surf fishing, or for large-sized game fish. While manufacturers use various designations for a rod's power, there is no fixed standard, hence application of a particular power tag by a manufacturer is somewhat subjective. Any fish can theoretically be caught with any rod, of course, but catching panfish on a heavy rod offers no sport whatsoever, and successfully landing a large fish on an ultralight rod requires supreme rod handling skills but more frequently still ends in broken tackles and a lost fish. It is generally advised to choose rod weights that are best suited to the intended type of fishing.

Action

The action of a fishing rod refers to the speed with which it elastically returns to the neutral (straightened) position after a flexional load is removed (i.e. the "recoil" or "rebound" speed), and is generally described as being "slow", "medium", "fast", or anything in between (e.g. medium-fast) or beyond (e.g. extra-fast). Contrary to how it is often presented, action does not refer to the bending characteristics (shape of the "curve") of the rod — a fast-action rod can as easily have a more evenly progressive bending curve (from tip to butt) as a tip-only bending curve, although tip-bending rods do inherently tend to have faster action. The action can also be influenced by the length of a rod, the tapering profile, and the blank materials used. Typically a rod that uses a fiberglass composite blank has slower action than one that uses a carbon fiber composite blank.

Action, however, is also often a subjective description of a manufacturer. Very often action is misused to note the bending curve instead of the speed. Some manufacturers list the power value of the rod as its action. A "medium" action bamboo rod may have a faster action than a "fast" fibreglass rod. Action is also subjectively used by anglers, as an angler might compare a given rod as "faster" or "slower" than a different rod.

A rod's action and power may change when load is greater or lesser than the rod's specified casting weight. When the load used greatly exceeds a rod's specifications a rod may break during casting, if the line does not break first. When the load is significantly less than the rod's recommended range the casting distance is significantly reduced, as the rod's action cannot launch the load. It acts like a stiff pole. In fly rods, exceeding weight ratings may warp the blank or have casting difficulties when rods are improperly loaded.

Rods with a fast action combined with a full progressive bending curve allows the fisherman to make longer casts, given that the cast weight and line diameter is correct. When a cast weight exceeds the specifications lightly, a rod becomes slower, slightly reducing the distance. When a cast weight is slightly less than the specified casting weight the distance is slightly reduced as well, as the rod action is only used partially.

Rod Sensitivity

A rods blank will determine the amount of sensitivity anglers feel. Fishing rods made of graphite are the most sensitive due to the fact they can transfer vibrations better than rods made of fiberglass. But the rod blank is not the only thing that translates into sensitivity. The rods design will impact how well an angler feels a fish's bite or the bottom of the lake, stream, reservoir, creek, or river. The more sensitivity a rod has the more likely you are to feel the bite and be able to get a good hookset to land the fish.

Bending curve and tapering

A fishing rod's main function is to bend and deliver a certain resistance or power: While casting, the rod acts as a catapult: by moving the rod shaft forward, the inertia of the mass of the terminal tackles and the distal portion of rod itself will load (bend) the rod tip backward, and the subsequent elastic rebound forward will sling out the lure/bait. When a hook bite is registered and the fisherman pulls the line, the elasticity of the rod will damp the shock to avoid line failure. When fighting a fish, the bending of the rod not only enables the fisherman to keep the line under tension, but the bending of the rod will also keep the fish under a constant tension which will exhaust the fish and enable the fisherman to reel it in. Also the bending lessens the effect of the leverage by shortening the distance of the lever (the rod). Stiff rods demand much power of the fisherman, while actually less power is put on the fish. In comparison, a deep bending rod will demand less power from the fisherman, but deliver more fighting power to the fish. In practice, this leverage effect often misleads fisherman. Often it is believed that a hard, stiff rod puts more control and power on the fish to fight, while it is actually the fish who is putting the power on the fisherman. In commercial fishing practice, large fish are often pulled in on the line itself without much effort, which is possible because the absence of the leverage effect.

A rod can bend in different curves. Traditionally the bending curve is mainly determined by its tapering. In simplified terms, a fast taper will bend a lot more in the tip area and not much in the butt part, and a slow taper will tend to bend too much at the butt and delivers a weak rod. A progressive tapering which loads smooth from top to butt, adding in power the deeper the rod is bent. In practice, the tapers of quality rods often are curved or in steps to achieve the right action and bending curve for the type of fishing a rod is built. In today's practice, different fibres with different properties can be used in a single rod. In this practice, there is no straight relationship anymore between the actual tapering and the bending curve.

The bending curve is not easily described by terms. However, some rod and blank manufacturers try to simplify things towards their customers by describing the bending curve by associating them with their action. The term fast action is used for rods where only the tip is bending, and slow action for rods bending from tip to butt. In practice, this is misleading, as top-quality rods are very often fast-action rods, bending from tip to butt. While the so-called 'fast-action' rods are stiff rods (with absence of any action) which end in a soft or slow tip section. The construction of a progressive bending, fast action rod is more difficult and more expensive to achieve. Common terms to describe the bending curve or properties which influence the bending curve are: progressive taper/loading/curve/bending/..., fast taper, heavy progressive (notes a bending curve close to progressive, tending to become fast-tapered), tip action (also referred to as 'umbrella'-action), broom-action (which refers to the previously mentioned stiff 'fast action'-rods with soft tip). A parabolic action is often used to note a progressive bending curve, in fact this term comes from a series of splitcane fly rods built by Pezon & Michel in France since the late 1930s, which had a progressive bending curve. Sometimes the term parabolic is more specific used to note the specific type of progressive bending curve as was found in the Parabolic series.

A common way today to describe a rod's bending properties is the Common Cents System, which is "a system of objective and relative measurement for quantifying rod power, action and even this elusive thing ... fishermen like to call feel."

The bending curve determines the way a rod builds up and releases its power. This influences not only the casting and the fish-fighting properties, but also the sensitivity to strikes when fishing lures, the ability to set a hook (which is also related to the mass of the rod), the control over the lure or bait, the way the rod should be handled and how the power is distributed over the rod. On a full progressive rod, the power is distributed most evenly over the whole rod.

Line weight

The line weight of a fishing rod describes the optimal tension along the fishing line the rod is designed to handle, usually expressed in pounds or kilograms. A fishing line's "breaking weight" describes the maximum tensile force that can be exerted before the line breaks apart, while the line weight for a rod describes as the extent of bending force that the rod can support. Fly rod weights are typically expressed as a number from 1 to 12 written as "N"wt (e.g. 6wt), and each weight represents a standard weight in grains for the first 30 ft (9 m) of the fly line, established by the American Fishing Tackle Manufacturing Association. For example, the first 30 in (75 cm) of a 6wt fly line should weigh between 152–168 grains (10–11 grams), with the optimal weight being 160 grains (10 grams). In casting and spinning rods, designations such as "8-15 lb line weight" are typical.

Lure weight

fishing tackle

The lure weight of a fishing rod describes the optimal weight range of terminal tackle (mainly the bait and hook/lure, and any attached float, sinker, swivel and/or heavy leader), usually expressed in ounces or grams, that the rod is designed to handle in order to achieve good casting outcome. Casting lures heavier than the designated weights might result in the rod tip breaking, while lures that are too light might have trouble with casting distance and accuracy.

Number of sections

Rods that are one piece from butt to tip are considered to have the most natural "feel" due to the theoretically uninterrupted transfer of vibrations to the angler's hand, and are preferred by many. However, the difficulty in transporting one-piece rod safely becomes an increasing problem with increasing rod length. Two-piece rods, joined by a ferrule, are very common, and if well engineered (especially with tubular glass or carbon fibre rods), sacrifice very little in the way of natural feel. Some fishermen do feel a difference in sensitivity with two-piece rods, but most do not.

Some rods are joined through a metal "bus". These add mass to the rod which helps in setting the hook and help activating the rod from tip to butt when casting, resulting in a better casting experience. Some anglers experience this kind of fitting as superior to a one piece rod. They are found on specialized hand-built rods. Apart from adding the correct mass, depending on the kind of rod, this fitting also is the strongest known fitting, but also the most expensive one. For that reason they are almost never to be found on commercial fishing rods.

Types

Fishing rods can be constructed out of a vast number of materials. Generally they are made with either fiberglass, graphite, or a new generation composite, also known as carbon fibre. Many times carbon fibre and graphite are used together in the rod making process.

Carbon fibre rods

A carbon fibre rod is not necessarily better than a glass fibre rod; the two fibres have different properties, with their own tradeoffs. Carbon fibre is less flexible (stiffer) than glass fibre and more brittle and prone to breakage when misused, while carbon fibre allows for longer and faster rods. Carbon fibre also allows for a smaller diameter rod that is more sensitive than a glass fibre rod. A carbon fibre rod is also much lighter than a glass fibre rod allowing for longer days of fishing. Each has its purpose in the fishing industry and both improve an anglers chances of being successful when the blanks are used for the right purposes.

Fly rods

Main article: Fly fishing

Fly rods, thin, flexible fishing rods designed to cast an artificial fly, usually consisting of a hook tied with fur, feathers, foam, or other lightweight material. More modern flies are also tied with synthetic materials. Originally made of yew, green heart, and later split bamboo (Tonkin cane), most modern fly rods are constructed from man-made composite materials, including fibreglass, carbon/graphite, or graphite/boron composites. Split bamboo rods are generally considered the most beautiful, the most "classic", and are also generally the most fragile of the styles, and they require a great deal of care to last well. Instead of a weighted lure, a fly rod uses the weight of the fly line for casting, and lightweight rods are capable of casting the very smallest and lightest fly. Typically, a monofilament segment called a "leader" is tied to the fly line on one end and the fly on the other.

Each rod is sized to the fish being sought, the wind and water conditions and also to a particular weight of line: larger and heavier line sizes will cast heavier, larger flies. Fly rods come in a wide variety of line sizes, from size #000 to #0 rods for the smallest freshwater trout and pan fish up to and including #16 rods for large saltwater game fish. Fly rods tend to have a single, large-diameter line guide (called a stripping guide), with a number of smaller looped guides (aka snake guides) spaced along the rod to help control the movement of the relatively thick fly line. To prevent interference with casting movements, most fly rods usually have little or no butt section (handle) extending below the fishing reel. However, the Spey rod, a fly rod with an elongated rear handle, is often used for fishing either large rivers for salmon and Steelhead or saltwater surf casting, using a two-handed casting technique.

Fly rods are, in modern manufacture, almost always built out of carbon graphite. The graphite fibres are laid down in increasingly sophisticated patterns to keep the rod from flattening when stressed (usually referred to as hoop strength). The rod tapers from one end to the other and the degree of taper determines how much of the rod flexes when stressed. The larger amount of the rod that flexes the 'slower' the rod. Slower rods are easier to cast, create lighter presentations but create a wider loop on the forward cast that reduces casting distance and is subject to the effects of wind. Furthermore, the process of wrapping graphite fibre sheets to build a rod creates imperfections that result in rod twist during casting. Rod twist is minimized by orienting the rod guides along the side of the rod with the most 'give'. This is done by flexing the rod and feeling for the point of most give or by using computerized rod testing.

Custom rod building is an active hobby among fly fishermen. See Fly rod building.

Tenkara rods

Tenkara rods are a type of fly rod used for tenkara fishing in Japan. A mixture of the rods in the other categories, they are carbon rods, fly rods and telescopic rods all in one. These are ultra-light and very portable telescopic rods (read more about telescopic below). Their extended length normally ranges from 11 to 13 feet (3.5 to 4 m), and they have a very soft action. The action of tenkara rods has been standardized as a ratio of "how many parts are stiffer : how many tip parts bend more easily". The standard actions are 5:5, 6:4, 7:3, and 8:2, with 5:5 being a softer/slower rod, and 8:2 being a stiffer rod. Similar to western fly-rods tenkara rods also have cork, and sometimes even wooden handles, with wooden handles (such as red-pine, and phoenix-tree wood) being the more prized rods due to their increased sensitivity to fish bites and the heavier feel that helps balance the rods. Tenkara rods have no guides. Tenkara is a fixed-line fishing method, where no reel is used, but rather the line is tied directly to the tip of the rod. Like the carbon rods mentioned above this allows for "very precise positioning of the fly which in turn enables huge catches of fish with accurate feeding". One of the most common flies used in tenkara fishing is the Sakasa Kebari. Tenkara fishing is very popular in Japan, where these rods can be found in every major tackle shop. In the US, tenkara is beginning to grow in popularity.

Spin casting rods

Spin casting rods are rods designed to hold a spin casting reel, which are normally mounted above the handle. Spin casting rods also have small eyes and, frequently, a forefinger grip trigger. They are very similar to bait casting rods, to the point where either type of reel may be used on a particular rod. While rods were at one time offered as specific "spin casting" or "bait casting" rods, this has become uncommon, as the rod design is suited to either fishing style. Today they are simply called "casting rods", and are usually offered with no distinction as to which style they are best suited for in use.

Baitcasting rods

While the easy to use spin casting rods are often used by novice anglers, baitcasting rods and reels are generally more difficult to use. Professional anglers, however, prefer baitcasting rod and reel combos because baitcasting reels grant anglers more accuracy in their casts. Casting rods are typically viewed as somewhat more powerful than their spinning rod counterparts – they can use heavier line and can handle heavier cover. Baitcasting rods low profile design along with a super silent high-speed 7.0:1-line retrieve.

Spinning rods

Спинневые стержни изготавливаются из графита или стекловолокна с ручкой из пробки или из ПВХ и имеют тенденцию составлять от 5 до 8,5 футов (1,5 и 2,5 м) в длину. Как правило, прядильные стержни имеют от 5 до 8 направляющих, расположенных вдоль нижней стороны стержня, чтобы помочь контролировать линию. Глаза уменьшаются в размере от ручки до наконечника, причем ближайший к ручке обычно намного больше, чем у остальных, чтобы позволить меньше трения, поскольку спиральная линия выходит с катушки и собирать очень большие петли линии, которые выходят из катушка вращающейся катушки. В отличие от катушек приманки и кастинга спина, вращающаяся катушка висит под стержнем, а не сидит сверху, и удерживается на месте с раздвижным или фиксирующим сиденьем катушки. Второе и третье пальца рыбака пробивает «ногу» катушки, где она прикреплена к сиденью катушки на стержне, а вес катушки висит под стержнем, что делает более комфортный способ ловить рыбу в течение длительных периодов. Это также позволяет удерживать стержень в доминирующей руке рыбака (ручка на большинстве современных вращающихся катушек является обратимой), которая значительно увеличивает контроль и нюанс, применяемый к самому стержне. Спинневые стержни и катушки широко используются в рыбалке для популярной спортивной рыбы в Северной Америке, включая бас, Форель , Пайк и судак . Популярными целями для вращения на Великобритании и европейском континенте являются Pike, Pike, Eel и Zander (Walleye). Более длинные вращающиеся стержни с удлиненными ручками для сцепления для двуручного литья часто используются для соленой или стальной головы и лосося. Спинневые стержни также широко используются для троллинга и до сих пор ловя рыбу с живой приманкой.

Ультра-легкие стержни

Эти стержни используются для рыбалки для небольших видов, они обеспечивают больше спорта с более крупной рыбой или для ловли рыбалки с более легкой линией и меньшими приманками. Хотя термин обычно используется для обозначения вращающихся или спиновых стержней и снастей, мух стержни в меньших весах линии (размер № 0– #3) также долго использовались для ультра-освещенной рыбалки, а также для защиты тонкого -Дамет, легкий конечный раздел лидера или типпет , используемый в этом типе рыболовства.

Ультра-световые прядения и листовые стержни, как правило, более короче (от 4 до 8 футов или от 1,2 до 2,4 метра встречаются более легкие и более легче, чем обычные стержни. Действия на наконечник варьируются от медленного к быстрому, в зависимости от предполагаемого использования. Эти стержни обычно несут от 1 до 6 фунтов стерлингов (от 0,5 до 2,5 кг; от 4,5 до 26,5 н) тестовую линию промысла . Некоторые ультра-светские стержни способны набрать приманки, как легкие, как 1 ~ 64 унции (0,44 грамма) - обычно небольшие спиннеры, влажные мухи, краппи , трубки или приманки, такие как черви форели . Первоначально производимый для того, чтобы принести больше волнения в спорте, ультра-легкий спин рыбалка в настоящее время широко используется для краппи , форели , баса , голубых жабр, плотвы, окуня, леща, тыквенного семени, туша и других видов рыбы .

Ледяные стержни

Современные ледяные стержни, как правило, очень короткие вращающиеся стержни, варьирующиеся от 24 до 36 дюймов (61 и 91 см) в длину. Классические ледяные стержни-все еще широко используются-являются просто жесткими стержнями, похожими на кусочки дерева, обычно с резной деревянной ручкой, парой линейных гидов и двумя противоположными крючками, установленными перед ручкой, чтобы направить линию вокруг. Ледяные стержни используются для рыбалки через отверстия на крышке льда замороженных озер и прудов.

Быть стержнями

Морские стержни предназначены для использования с рыбой из океана. Они длинные, в среднем около 13 или 4 метра), очень толстые и имеют огромные и тяжелые кончики, глаза и ручки. Крупнейшие из морских стержней предназначены для использования со спортивными рыбацкими лодками. Некоторые из них представляют собой специализированные стержни, в том числе стержни акулы и марлиновые стержни, и предназначены для использования с очень тяжелым оборудованием.

Серфинговые стержни

Наиболее распространенный тип морских стержней для кастинга для серфинга . Строки для прибоя кастинга напоминают негабаритные спиннические или приманки с удилищами с длинными ручками для сцепления, предназначенными для техник двумя руками. Как правило, от 10 до 14 футов (3 и 4 м) в длину, стержни для серфинга должны быть длиннее, чтобы пользователь бросил приманку или приманку за пределы лома или приманка, необходимая для удержания дна в грубой воде. Они почти всегда используются в береговой рыбалке (морская рыбалка с береговой линии) от пляжа, камней или другой береговой особенности. Некоторые Surfcasters используют мощные стержни для отбрасывания до шести унций (170 граммов) или более веса свинца, искусственных приманок и/или приманки более ста ярдов (90 м).

Троллинговые стержни

Троллинг - это метод рыбалки для приманки или приманки в сторону или позади движущейся лодки, а также позволяет движению лодки протянуть приманку через воду. Теоретически, для легкой и средней пресной работы игр, любая литья или вращающаяся стержень (за возможным исключением сверхлегких стержней) можно использовать для троллинга. За последние 30 лет большинство производителей разработали полную линию, как правило, длинных, сильно построенных стержней, продаваемых как «троллинговые стержни», и, как правило, нацелены на океанские рыболовы и лосось Великих озер и рыбаки стальной головы. Стержень, эффективный для троллинга, должен иметь относительно быстрое действие, поскольку очень «Whippy» стержень с медленным действием очень разочаровывает тролль, и с этим методом, как правило, гораздо проще работать при рыбалке при рыбалке. Возможно, крайность в этой философии была достигнута в 1940-х и начале 1950-х годов, когда ныне несуществующая корпорация True Demper-производитель садовых инструментов-продавала линию троллинговых стержней от 4,5 до 5 футов (от 1,4 до 1,5 м) Длина из закаленной стали, которая была квадратной в поперечном сечении. Они действовали как отличные троллинговые стержни, хотя действие было слишком жестким для спортсменной игры с рыбой, когда -то зацепившейся. Поскольку спортивные ловковые фарширование Great Lakes становятся более популярными, по сравнению с каждым годом, все производители стержней продолжают расширять свои линии выделенных «троллинговых» стержней, хотя для большинства внутреннего озера и ручья рыбалка, хороший лист или прядильный стержень вполне адекватный для троллинга.

Телескопические стержни

Телескопические рыболовные стержни предназначены для разрушения до короткой длины и открытия до длинного стержня. 20-или 30-футовые (6 или 9 м) стержни могут около полутора футов (45 см). Это делает стержни очень простыми в перевозке в отдаленные районы или путешествовать на автобусах, компактных автомобилях или общественных автобусах и метро. Телескопические рыболовные стержни изготавливаются из тех же материалов, что и обычные многофункциональные стержни. Графит, углерод, а иногда и стекловолокно, или композиты этих материалов, предназначены для того, чтобы проникнуть друг в друга, чтобы они открылись и закрывали. Глаза на прядильных стержнях, как правило, являются, но не всегда, особым дизайном, чтобы помочь сделать конец каждой секции сильнее. Различные глаза, доступные в обычных стержнях, также доступны в телескопических стержнях. Стержни в стиле без глаз также относятся к такому типу и обычно изготавливаются из углерода и/или графита.

Уход за телескопическими рыбацкими стержнями почти такая же, как и другие стержни. Единственное отличие заключается в том, что не следует открывать телескопический стержень, который быстро поднимает закрытый стержень в открытое положение. Выбивая или бросая телескопический рыболовный стержень, который может привести к закрытию. При закрытии стержней создают небольшое круглосуточное движение при сжатии секций вместе. Часто стержни поставляются с крышками наконечников, чтобы защитить наконечник и направляющие. Кроме того, необходимо использовать дополнительную помощь, чтобы не получить грязь или песок в суставах; Из -за их дизайна это может легко повредить этот стиль стержня.

Телескопические стержни популярны среди рыбаков для серфинга . Перенос 12-или-14-футовый (3,5 или 4,5 м) рыболовная рыболовная стержень, даже в двух частях, является громоздким. Чем короче секции, тем короче они закрываются, тем больше у них глаз, и тем лучше в них кривая мощности. Больше глаз означает лучший вес и распределение напряжений по всей параболической дуге. Это приводит к дальнейшему кастингу, более сильным рыбным способностям и меньшим количеством разрыва стержня.
