Saltwater and Freshwater Rods

Spinning Rods


Modern day spinning rods are made of graphite which provides light weight for angler comfort coupled with exceptional strength. Spinning rods are versatile in that they can be used for small pan fish as well as very large salt water species such as shark or grouper. In salt water applications anodized line guide inserts are used to reduce line abrasion and resist corrosion from the salt water environment. One of the newer features found in some spinning rods is the night time glowing feature. The spinning rod saves up energy from sun light or high density light sources such as a flash light, and glows in the dark so the angler has a positive reference to rod location during casting. Quality spinning rods are available from Berkley, Outer-Banks-Outfitters, Pacific-Bay-International, Penn, Shakespeare, and Shimano

Conventional Trolling Rods

Conventional fishing rods are available for both saltwater and fresh water fishing. The important makers of conventional fishing rods are Daiwa, Okuma, Outer-Banks-Outfitters, Penn, Shakespeare, and Shimano. You should choose a fishing rod keeping in mind your needs and necessities. A wide variety of fish species are caught using trolling techniques including salmon, tuna, king fish, stripers, white bass, crappie and many others. Since the size and weight of these game fish vary from one pound to over fifty pounds, the trolling rod characteristics also vary quite a bit. Trolling fishing rods enable you to cast out lures, work baits, and haul in the fish, once it’s caught. Fishing rods come in different varieties and sizes and one of the most popular types is the conventional fishing rod. They can be used in a number of fishing techniques like deep jigging, bottom fishing, pitch bait, live baiting, heavy duty bridge fishing, and casting plugs. Each type of fishing rod has its own unique construction. You will find that a conventional fishing rod has a tip on one end and a manual handle on the other. Adjacent to the handle is a place where you can mount the conventional reel. The reel’s drum has a long fishing line which passes through a set of guides along the rod and comes out through the last guide at the tip of the rod. When you turn the manual crank on the reel connected to the drum, the drum rotates and you can wind in the fishing line after a catch.
