Rocky fishing rod

Suitable for rocky fishing, divided into light rocky rod and heavy rocky rod. Light rocky rods are generally below No. 3, suitable for attacking small and medium-sized fish; heavy rocky rods are often used to attack bottom fish and large migratory fish, and need to be equipped with 80 or more parallel rods and heavy fishing lines.

Raft rod

Mainly used for fishing on sea rafts, but also for freshwater fishing. The raft rod has a softer rod and elasticity, which is suitable for setting out and fighting fish. Most of its rod tips are solid fiberglass rods, and the wire loops are small and densely distributed.

When choosing a long-range throwing rod, you can consider using a fishing rod with a number between 1 and 3 and a length of more than 4.5 meters. When equipped with a wire reel, choose a specification of about 1000 to 3000. The busbar can choose floating water lines from No. 3 to No. 6, and the sub-wire can choose carbon fiber lines from No. 1 to No. 5. In addition, purchase some small accessories such as space beans, swivels, water buoys and luminous beads, etc., for use when fishing.
