Fishing Rods

• Float fishing - the float on the line mimics the motions of a fish. Can catch virtually all species. The most suitable rod for carps.
• Ledger fishing - the bait is located on the bottom of the lake and the lead is not the float, but the indicator suspended on a taut line.
• Lure fishing - casting artificial lures and reeling them back. You need a shorter rod with a reel and a number of lures.

Telescopic or multi-piece?

• Telescopic - usually made of fiberglass or composite. Suitable for beginners. A bit on the thicker side.
• Multi-piece - belongs to the more advanced category. Made of braided carbon kevlar. Can be split into two or three parts, making it easier to transport.

Recommended casting lure weight

• Lure weight is the weight that under ideal conditions can be cast the furthest (listed in grams).
• Some manufacturers use pounds, but that indicates the rod's power value.
• From it we can roughly derive the lure weight in grams. ((x lbs/16) * 450) = max. lure weight in grams.
