Sea Fishing Rods FAQs
Does the species of fish I am targeting determine which rod to use?
Yes. Usually, it's best to fish with a lighter rod if targeting smaller species these rods can vary in casting weight but a rod of 1oz to 3oz is best so bites can be seen easier. If targeting the bigger species of fish such as cod or skate etc a rod with a casting weight of 4oz to 8oz is usually used to help aid distance and also the weight of the lead and bait.
Which rods are best for fishing from shore?
A rod of 13ft is best to start off using from the beach however the longer the rod the more helpful it is for casting distance and getting the rods higher in the air to get over the waves.
Which rods are best for fishing from a boat?
Boat rods can come in lengths from 4ft to 10ft. The 4ft to 6ft lengths are ideal when fishing from smaller watercrafts such as kayaks etc, and 7ft to 10ft rods are ideal from your usual private/charter boats.
What rod action should I choose?
If targeting smaller/shy biting species such as flatfish a light rod of 1oz to 3oz is commonly used as heavy leads and big baits aren’t particularly used as casting distance does not matter due to these types of species being more closer to shore. If you want to target bigger species such as cod and skate then rods with casting weights of 4oz to 8oz are best used to cope with heavier leads and bigger baits.
What are the main differences between the cheaper rods and the more expensive models?
The more expensive the rod the better the build quality and the better through action the rod will have when casting a playing fish. The cheaper models tend to have less quality and are much harder to compress when trying to cast as they act like what is known as broom handles.
What material of rod should I choose?
All rods nowadays are made of carbon and are best to use as they are stronger for sea fishing conditions than cane rods.
