Rod action

The action the rod matches. This parameter is often associated with spinning models (see “Type”), but it can also be indicated in other varieties.

The action characterizes the overall rigidity and elasticity of the rod blank - the main working part located between the handle and the upper end. In practice, the characteristics of bending and straightening during casting depend on this indicator. The “faster” the action of the rod, the stiffer it is, the smaller part of it (counting from the upper end) bends when casting and the faster the structure returns to its original state. Conversely, a slow action means that the rod bends almost along its entire length and returns back at a relatively low speed.

If we talk about specific numbers, then models that bend 1/3 of the length or less are considered fast, and models that bend 2/3 of the length or more are classified as slow. Between these numbers there are intermediate indicators: medium-fast, medium and medium-slow.

The progressive or complex system stands apart from others. The main feature of such rods is that when casting, they work as a fast-action rod, and when fishing for large prey, they exhibit the properties of a medium or even slow action, bending...as the load increases in the shape of a parabola and at the same time dampening the jerks of the fish. Progressive rods combine the advantages of fast and slow blanks in one bottle, but they are more expensive than their traditional counterparts.

The choice of fishing rod depends primarily on the expected fishing conditions. Thus, fast models are well suited for situations where there is no space for a swing - they allow you to throw the bait quite far due to just one movement of the wrist. Such products are considered more accurate; with a fast rod it is easier to throw the bait into a “window” among the algae or other small place. In addition, the rigidity provides good sensitivity when retrieving and playing. In turn, a slow action requires space for the swing, but allows for greater casting distance and reduces the likelihood of line breakage during sudden jerks of prey. Well, we should also not forget about the personal preferences of the fisherman - after all, the effectiveness of casting largely depends on the overall convenience of the rod.

Rings

The presence of rings in the design of the rod. Through them, the fishing line from the reel located in the handle area is passed to the tip, without tangling and without sticking to the rod itself. The presence of rings, by definition, is mandatory for any rod designed for use with a reel — without them it is impossible to bring the line to the desired point. The only type of rods that do not have rings are fly rods (see "Rod Type").

Folded length

The length of the rod when folded. This parameter primarily affects the convenience of transportation: the shorter the folded rod, the easier it is to carry / transport.
