By rod constructions   subdivided into telescopic and plug. As you might guess from the name, telescopic consists of several tubes inserted into each other and retractable, like an antenna or a telescope. Plug-in disassembled into separate sections.

Photos from the catalog SHIMANO: Plug spinning - the manufacturer of the SHIMANO, model ALIVIO CX, new in 2011. A wide range of lengths and weights makes it very attractive in its price range.

Rod rods are much lighter and thinner. "Telescopes", there are more rings for fishing line and they are planted more conveniently. Their design is more reliable, and you can not be afraid that "Plug"   emerge during the haul of fish, as it can with a "telescope". But note that such a spinning is much easier to damage during transportation. Unpretentious in this sense, the "telescope" is always at hand and is much faster brought into position. Both designs are good in their own way, and over time you will learn how to choose a suitable rod for different fishing conditions and types of reservoirs.

Is long

Spinning length It always depends on the type of fishing that is more interesting for you, and in fact there are no strict rules here. When fishing in small rivers, as well as in the coastal zone, where there is a lot of vegetation and you need to accurately send bait, short rods are often used (2.1–2.4 m). For fishing from the shore on large bodies of water, it is preferable to be long (2.7–3.2 m), providing long-distance casting. The shorter the gear, the easier it is to feel the bite. The longer, the more convenient it is to change the horizon of the wiring and cut around the obstacles. Beginners are advised to start with a spinning length of 2.3–2.6 m, equally suitable for coastal and boat fishing.

Story

On the photo is the river Kerby, Khabarovsk Territory. Rod Shimano Catana, medium build.

Building fishermen called the ability to bend rods. Quick build   - hard rod, slow   - flexible. Hard spinning with fast formation is convenient in strong winds, as it has great sensitivity. Flexible (parabolic) spinning with a slow formation makes it possible to throw further, throwing it less sharp and making the fish more delicate. Most modern spinning is produced with a coefficient of elasticity corresponding to the average order, they are also the most popular. You should also remember that the telescopic rods barely bend. They are arranged in such a way that only the tip of the spinning “plays”, which means that the “telescope” system is almost completely absent.

Below is the American (most common) rods classification:

Extra fast (EF), very fast   - the maximum bend of the rod falls on the upper quarter of the whip

  Fast (F), fast   - the rod bends in the upper third of the whip

Moderate (M), average   - bend the upper half of the whip

Slow (S), slow   - rod bends along the entire length

Test and class rods

In the photo: Part of the rod with a marking, we see that the presented sample belongs to the medium lightweight class and its test is designed for bait weighing from 5 to 20 grams, the length of the rod is 2.4 meters, Shimano manufacturer, Katana model.

For each spinning manufacturer indicates the weight of the bait, which is recommended to throw using this particular spinning. This is the weight test   rods As a rule, this is the range of bait weights from the lightest to the heaviest, which is written on the form next to the rod of the rod. It happens that this value is indicated in ounces (1 ounce equals 28.3 g).

There are six main rod classes with different tests (add to the table a column with the recommended line thickness for each test):

In the photo: Part of the fishing rod with marking, from the Korean manufacturer BANAX, model ULTRA, test from 0.7 to 6 grams, length 1.83 meters, if you look at the table you can see that it is of ultra lightweight class.

Suppose there is a fish that you want to catch in a pond with a known depth and power of the current. You know that a certain wobbler weighing 30 grams will work. This means you should use spinning with a medium or medium weight dough that is specifically designed for this weight. Experienced anglers always take into account the power of resistance of the bait when wiring, choosing a rod with a stock of dough. In conclusion, we note that the ideal gear is the one in which the rod, bait, reel and fishing line are selected so that they meet all fishing conditions. If this balance is reached, then you will definitely catch your fish.

Spinning test   - this is the range of tool weights recommended for casting with this spinning model. If the weight of the equipment falls within the test range, then the cast will be further and the probability of a spinning breakdown when casting will be minimal. The closer the weight of the bait to the upper boundary of the test, the more smoothly you need to do a cast. Although, a spinning test marked by the manufacturer is conditional and may differ from the real one.
  The test can be denoted both in grams (g) and in ounces   (oz). One ounce = 28.349 523 grams.

  Some manufacturers of spinning rods indicate on the form the maximum breaking load of the fishing line / cord used.
  This parameter is necessary so that the fishing line / cord breaks first and the blank does not break.
  Denoted by libras   (lb). One libra, he is a pound = 0.45359 kg, or if roughly the value in libres needs to be divided by 2.22, we get in kilograms.

String spinning - is a characteristic of spinning, which determines its temporary response to a change in load. It is determined by the curve of the whip. As a rule, it is divided into 4 types:
  1. Extra Fast - Extra Fast - only the tip of the spinning bends under the maximum declared load.
  2. Fast pitch (Fast) - the upper quarter of the spinning bends under the maximum declared load.
  3. Medium or semi-parabolic (Moderate) mode - half of the spinning bends under the maximum declared load.
  4. Slow or parabolic action (Slow) - the whole spinning form bends under the maximum declared load.

Spinning class.
Spinning are divided into four main classes:
  1. Ultra Light (Ultra Light) - up to 7 g.
  2. Light (Light) - from 7 to 15 g.
  3. Medium - from 15 to 40 g.
  4. Heavy (Heavy) - from 40 g and above
  Note: The division into classes is conditional. To date, the line between Ultra Light and Light has not been defined.

Characteristics of the form spinning.
Coal fiber is a lightweight material, characterized by a higher tensile strength than fiberglass, has a high modulus of elasticity. In combination with epoxy resins is a supporting element of the design of the form of spinning. The undesirable properties of carbon fiber should include its electrical conductivity. As a result of burning coal fiber in vacuum at 2100 ° C, the final product is obtained - graphite.
  Graphite is a very hard material with a crystalline structure, in contrast to coal fiber, it has increased rigidity. Used in combination with carbon fiber and epoxy resins. The use of graphite made it possible to create a rod of a new type with a bearing layer on which the rod's construction as a whole rests.
  Boron - high strength material with the highest modulus of flexibility. It is characterized by high breaking strength and higher price. Boron is used as a structural material in graphite sheath.
  Kevlar - synthetic fiber, belonging to the group of aramids; characterized by high strength, flexibility, impact resistance and a high degree of energy absorption. It is used to dampen vibration and strengthen the outer surface of the rods. It is made both in the form of a cloth, and in the form of fibers. Further studies of the materials of the aramid group allowed us to obtain a fiber with a crystalline structure, which is distinguished by a much greater degree of elasticity than traditional Kevlar.
Vicer is a short fiber about 2 mm long. The material is characterized by high elasticity, strength and hardness. In the production of rods used with epoxy resins as a filler. Increases resistance to lateral loads and gives the hardness of the outer surface of the rod.

Spinning reel seat.
  It is one of the important elements of spinning. The development of technology and technology has allowed developers and manufacturers to introduce high-quality new materials katushkoderzhateley.
  Aluminum and its alloys - lightness and strength have made this metal the most popular in the production of coil holders. Katushkoderzhateli of aluminum and its alloys are of various types: from made of thin-walled aluminum tubes to "elite", made on the exact technological equipment of the highest grades of duralumin and other modern alloys.
  Titanium is a lightweight, extraordinarily durable material. It is an ideal material for the manufacture of spinning reel holders. Titanium katushkoderzhateli are installed only on the highest class spinning. The high cost of titanium coil holders does not allow the use of this metal in mass production.
  Nikelsilver is an alloy of nickel and silver, the holders of this material are mounted on expensive spinning models.
  Wood - most often wood is used in the designs of the coil holders as a central support part. In the reel holder, placed between two metal sockets, encircling the leg of the spinning reel, hard and exotic woods are used. Of the available species are used: walnut, cedar, etc ... Wooden parts are pre-impregnated with synthetic resins, giving the tree a pleasant color, hardness and water resistance.
  Composites - the most common materials for the manufacture of katushkoderzhateley. They are made on the basis of combinations "composite-nylon-graphite", "nylon-epoxy resins".

Reel design.
Ring holders - are installed on lightweight spinning class, they facilitate spinning and make it possible to balance it for themselves, which is very important for long fishing with a large number of casts.
  The disadvantages of the ring holders include the fact that the leg of the spinning reel presses directly on the handle of the spinning, which eventually leads to deformation of the surface of the handle and the impossibility of reliable mounting of the coil.
Screw holders - are made of both metal and composite materials. They are mounted on spinning, equipped with both multiplicative and inertia-free coils. The screw coil holder with the bottom nut and the rings reinforced with metal (stainless steel or titanium) is most common. On medium class powerpinnings, you can often find closed holders combined with a handle, the front of which is wound and thus clamp the coil.
  On rods for multiplier reels, the holder has a special stop lug, otherwise called a “trigger”.

If you have decided to purchase a new spinning, it is necessary to take a responsible attitude towards its choice. Knowledge of what tells labeling spinning rodswill help to cope with this task.

Of course, when buying a form in a firm, good store, the seller will be able to help you, but to understand what is at stake and to be able to match your preferences with his offers, this knowledge will not be superfluous. Even more valuable skill decipher marking   Spinning acquires in various fishing markets, where you can also choose a good rod, while saving some amount of money.

Basic labeling principles

Each modern rod should be marked on it accordingly, marking, which, in abbreviated form, contains basic information about its manufacturer, length, test parameters, etc.

It should be borne in mind that the absolute majority of quality rods on our market are of foreign manufacture, and therefore the symbols on the spinning rings are applied in English, in accordance with the standards adopted in the home country of their manufacturer. And although the labeling of different companies - manufacturers of forms, may vary, everyone tries to adhere to similar standards in the structure of its application.

We will deal with the most common and generally accepted symbols and numbers that the most famous and recognized manufacturers in the fishing world put on their products. As a rule, marking rods, contains the following information:

1. Company name   - manufacturer of spinning. This is the first thing that anglers notice, since these inscriptions are the largest and most prominent, a kind of brand advertisement, applied to each rod. For example: DAIKO, DAIWA, SHIMANO, NORSTREAM and many others.
2. Next usually goes the name of this particular spinning model. For example: Grand View-S, Legacy, etc.
3. Type of rods.   For example: S (Spinning). The inscription TRAVEL, means that it is a multi-piece form.
4. Blanca power, or its recommended bait weight test, indicated in grams, pounds (lb) or ounces (oz).
5. Spinning length, expressed in meters (m) or feet and inches, which are designated respectively: "ft" or "` "- feet, and" "" - inches.
6. His build.
7. Materialfrom which it is made.

To translate the English measures and weights, into the measurement system we are used to, you should know that 1 pound (lb) equals 454 grams, 1 ounce equals 28 grams, 1 foot - approximately 30.5 cm, but 1 inch - 2.54 cm.

Marking Test Mark

Test value of rods, originally intended for the Russian market, usually already have symbols in grams. They look in the form of two digits, put through a hyphen, and indicate the minimum and maximum weight recommended to work with this form, bait. For example: test 10 - 30 gr (g)   shows that this spinning is designed for fishing on lures weighing from 10 to 30 grams.

The generally recognized international designation of power rods, depending on the class, has the following marking:

1. UL (Ultra Light)   - these are ultra-light (ultra-light) whips, having an upper test limit of no more than 7 grams, or oz (1/4 oz).
2. L (Light).   Light rods. They have a test with an upper limit of 14 grams (½ ounces).
3. ML (Medium light).   Medium light class. These spinning rods usually have a test of 4-21 grams (3/4 oz).
4. M (Medium)   - These are medium-class rods with a test with an upper limit of 28 grams, which is 1 ounce (1 oz).
5. MH (Medium Heavy).   Medium class spinning. As a rule, they have a test from 10 to 42 grams, or 1.5 ounces (1.5 oz).
6. H (Heavy).   Heavyweight rods designed to work with baits weighing more than 42 grams (usually up to 80 grams).

Also, some manufacturers produce spinning rods with the upper limit on the weight of baits. up to 250 grams and higher (6 oz, 9 oz). They are labeled XH (Extra Heavy)   and belong to the class of super heavy rods.

Attention!   Some manufacturers put markings on their blanks on the breaking load of the fishing line, recommended for equipping this particular rod. for example "10-70 lb". This means that this spinning is recommended to equip the line with a breaking load. from 10 to 70 pounds (from 4540 grams to 31780 grams).

It should be remembered that equipping the form with a stronger line can lead, in the case of a hook, to its breakage, and equipment with a less strong line to frequent breakage and, consequently, to the loss of bait.

Length

It can be indicated in centimeters and stand in a number of other characteristics, for example, the SFM 240 ML marking means that it has a length of 240 cm.

Also, length information can be specified in feet and inches. For example, marking "GV-S 7` 6 ""   means that the whip has a length 7 feet 6 inchesthat in terms of metric system corresponds to the length 228.7 cm.

System designation

Now we will understand how determine the spinning line by marking. Build is a characteristic that shows the nature of the bending of the spinning under the influence of the load on it. It is usually determined when the tip of the form is fixed. Holding the handle, the whip is carefully moved in different directions and determine the degree of its bending in different parts.

The marking of the building spinning rods is applied in the same row with the symbols of its other characteristics. As a rule, in most of the most well-known manufacturers, the designation of a spinning system has the expression in the form of Latin letters   and has four major gradations:

1. Extra Fas (EF)   - Forms of super-fast down. Under load, they begin to bend at the very top.
2. Fast (F)   - fishing rods with quick action. They are bent in the upper third of their length.
3. Medium (M)   - the most versatile rods with an average build. Their bend occurs in the upper half. Such a system is also called “parabolic”.
4. Slow (S)   - the form of a slow order. Under load, such a spinning will bend over its entire length.

The designation of this parameter can be both abbreviated and full.

Material

On the forms of well-known manufacturers, as a rule, marking of the material from which it is made is applied:

1. FIBERGLASS.   These rods are made of fiberglass. This is the most difficult, but durable and inexpensive material used in the production of modern spinning.
2. GRAPHITE.   Such forms are made of carbon fiber. It is the most lightweight, durable, but significantly more expensive material.
3. COMPOSITE.   This means that this form is made on the basis of a composite material that combines the advantages of the two above mentioned materials, but they are not as light as carbon fiber blanks and belong to the middle price category.

Useful video

In the video below, you will learn what some of the terms and symbols on spinning rods and coils mean, as well as the correspondence tables “stick power designation-test range”, “power - coil size” and “stick power - cord number in jap. classification.

In conclusion, we note that professional rods can be labeled to inform about other properties of the stick (about the type of knee connection, etc.), but for most anglers, when choosing a spinning, it is enough to know the basic parameters of the form, about which we are have mentioned.

A huge number of fishing rods in the store greatly complicates the choice of novice anglers. Most of them, coming, do not even suspect that there are so many parameters, each of which is best suited for a particular type of fishing.

Therefore, it is reasonable before the first trip to the store to learn how to properly select parameters such as:

• test;
• system;
• length;
• rigidity;
• elasticity.

Then you will understand which rod is best for you.

The main types of rods

Everyone should be aware that all rods are divided into the following types:

1. Telescopic.
2. Plug.
3. Pass.

Consider each of them in more detail.

Telescopic rod

Telescopic rod appeared quite recently, but rather quickly gained recognition from anglers around the world. It is great for fishing from the shore or from a boat.

A feature of this type is the foldable knee: each new one neatly enters the previous one. Due to this, the telescopic rod is easy to store and transport to the place of fishing.

In case of a knee injury, it can always be replaced without much difficulty, for this it is only necessary to remove the cap-stop.

Due to the special design, the length can be adjusted based on the preferences of the fisherman.

Plug rod

The rod rod has a main part and a pair of inserted tubules. It is distinguished by its thickness, and the diameter gradually decreases closer to the top.

The name of the rod was due to the connection, which is carried out by means of a tube extension of a smaller diameter, to the previous one - a larger one.

In general, this type of rod is chosen by experienced anglers because of their high cost. They are quite durable and retain their parabolic structure for a long time.

Passing rod

Throughput rod occurs infrequently. Its length is approximately 1.5-2 meters.

There are also devices with mixed compound. As a rule, the main part has a plug-in connection, and the top, consisting of knees, is telescopic.

A popular fishing rod that has a mixed mix is ​​the liqueur rod.

Its feature is the ability to change the top to a more rigid one or vice versa - to a softer one. Thanks to the strong sensitivity, fishing can be done without a float.

What is a rod test?

The rod test is an extremely important parameter. By this is meant the minimum and maximum bait weight that can be used on a specific rod model.

Please note that on the products from America often indicate the strength of the fishing line, instead of the minimum and maximum threshold weight bait.

Decryption test

The border of 10 grams indicates the minimum ease of bait, which is desirable to use for the most effective fishing.

How to catch more fish?

1. Activator biting. Attracts fish in cold and warm water with the help of the pheromones that make up the composition and stimulates its appetite. It is a pity that Rosprirodnadzor wants to impose a ban on its sale.
2. More sensitive gear.   Reviews and instructions on other types of gear you can find on the pages of my site.
3. Pheromone bait.

Of course, if the angler wishes, he can choose the bait and take it easier, but then the casting distance will decrease significantly, because the rod is not designed for this.

Also in jig fishing, the minimum indicator indicates the threshold of spinning sensitivity. Track activity will have to live fishing line. But when jig fishing is extremely important.

The second threshold is maximum. That is, the weight of the bait should not exceed the parameter set by the manufacturer. Using power throwing with a heavier bait, the likelihood of the spinning blanks breaking is high.

Especially important is the selection of rod dough when fishing for twitching. In this case, take the bait, whose weight can reach up to 50 grams. If the maximum threshold is small, then the rod will jerk during jerks. Therefore, choosing spinning in the store, note the importance of this parameter.

Be sure to remember that often the numbers indicated on the rod are a little inconsistent with the real indicators. Therefore, it is best to leave some reserve for your peace of mind.

For example, if the maximum possible used weight of a bait is 30 grams, it is best to leave 5 grams of stock. That is, choose a bait of no more than 25 grams.

What should I look for after the test?

The choice of the test rod is very important, but not the only parameter to which you need to pay attention before buying the rod.

Be sure to determine the length, build and class of the rod, as well as select the material from which to make your fishing rod.

Length rods. When selecting this option, note that the rods are divided into the following groups:

1. With a length of 1-2 meters. These twigs are called usdniki. They are used in the creation of fishing gear in winter and side fishing rods.
2. With a length of 4-6 meters. Most often, anglers choose this particular size. With him it is most comfortable to shower money, and at such a distance is clearly visible. And due to its low weight, the rod is easily transported.
3. With a length of 11-14,5 meters. Basically, such fishing rods are used for sport fishing. Not everyone can handle them. First of all, choosing a device of this length, you need to be able to quickly assemble and disassemble the rod.

For beginners, the best choice would be to purchase a mid-size fishing rod. Since it is universal and easy to use.

Story rods. This phrase refers to the bending of the rod at the time of loading. This indicator is not official; accordingly, it cannot be found on the label.

Usually there are four types of fishing rods:

• super fast
• fast;
• average;
• slow.

Weight rods. Also when buying an important parameter is the weight of the rod. There are 3 classes:

• Lungs. They weigh up to 150 grams and have a length of no more than 2.5 meters. Usually choose this class for catching small fish.
• Medium Their weight does not exceed 250 grams, and the length of this rod is not more than 5 meters. Rods of this class is in the best demand among anglers, as it is suitable for any fish.
• Heavy fishing rod. Its weight exceeds 300 grams, and length - more than 6 meters. Usually such a device is acquired when catching strong and hard-nosed prey.

Material, of whom is made fishing rod. The time of wooden rods has come to an end. Of course, there are still fans who use fishing rods made from this material, but their mass production is over.

Now mostly models are made of fiberglass, carbon fiber and graphite. The choice is huge enough, it all depends on your taste and budget.

In order to not be upset after the purchase, that you bought an inappropriate fishing rod, you need to do the following:

• to purchase the device in specialized stores, while you should give your preferences to the rods of already reputable brands;
• be sure to read the information that is on the label, basically all the important data, such as: weight, length, grade and test is indicated there;
• carefully examine the rod and pay attention to its bend.

It is clear that acquiring the bait for the first time is quite difficult to make the right choice. Only after a certain time, you will understand what tackle best suits your style of fishing. And for the first time, it’s best to take along an experienced fisherman to help you find the right device.

In this article we will try to reveal in more detail such a seemingly understandable topic as the characteristics of a spinning rod. But everything is not as simple as it seemed. In the parameters they possess, much more information is hidden than it seems at first glance. Below, we will understand what such concepts as “test”, “system”, “accessories” mean, what types of spinning rods are and how they are classified, and most importantly, why are these or those from a practical point of view.

Let's start with the most basic characteristics of those that anglers pay attention to first.

Length

The length of the spinning. Currently, the main range of length is in the range from 1.5 to 3.5 m. Long rods, from 2.4 m and more, are most often used in coastal fishing, or in conditions where long-range casting is required. But it should be borne in mind that it is possible to implement it. For example, on a forest river with a long rod overgrown with banks it will simply be inconvenient to work.

Test

A spinning test is an indicator of the range of weights for which a particular model is intended to be cast. So, for example, if a test is indicated on a form in 5-18 g, then the most comfortable weight of baits for this spinning will lie in this weight range. In this case, it is necessary to take into account not only the mass of the used load-head, but also the entire rigging, adding to this the weight of the bait, hook, leash and other elements. This is especially noticeable when using light and ultralight rods.

According to the test parameter, all models of spinning rods are divided into classes, which conventionally look like this:

ultra-lightweight class, UL (Ultralight), test up to 7 g;

light class, L (Light), test up to 15 g;

medium light class, ML (Medium-light), test up to 21 g;

middle class, M (Medium), test 7-28 g;

medium-heavy class, MH (Medium-heavy), test 10-32 g;

heavy class, H (Heavy), up to 50 g;

super heavy class XH (Extra Heavy), test more than 50 g;

The realities of life show that often this parameter is in fact underestimated or overestimated. This is most often the sin of unnamed Chinese tackle. However, you should never forget that exceeding the test can break the rod when casting.

Story

The structure of fishing-rods is a characteristic of the rigidity of the form in its various sections. Depending on the system, spinning rods can be “koloobrazny rapiers” or soft catapults, with a large number of intermediate variants. All of them are divided into the following categories:

extra-fast (extra-fast);

fast (fast);

medium-fast (medium-fast);

medium or moderate;

slow (slow);

Of which fast rods are themselves tough and with a load of these, only the tip works. Such spinning rods are very good when you need the most accurate cast. They do not require a strong swing, they can be thrown in cramped conditions. Such forms perfectly cut through the mouth of the fish due to its rigidity, but it is worse to keep it when moving out. Also, such spinning less long-range.

In turn, rods with a system closer to medium or slow are softer and with loads they have a large part of the form. To throw bait with them, you need a fairly open space, because need a sweeping shot. They are more long-range and well "knit" the fish on the dodge, but lose at the time of cutting. In addition, these forms are less sensitive.

Rod test on fishing line

Test rods on the line. Recently, many manufacturers began to indicate the so-called line test, which means "test on a fishing line". It is denoted usually in libs (lb). This parameter implies the breaking load of the fishing line, under which this rod is calculated in terms of survivability. In other words, if suddenly there was a bite of a large fish, and the friction clutch tightened tightly, then the rod will not break under the load before the fishing line bursts. Or, with a deaf hook, anglers often tighten the clutch and try to tear the bait using a spinning power source. In such a situation, a correctly selected test (lb) line will save from the acquisition of a new rod.

Fittings

  The next important characteristic of spinning is the fittings. It consists of rings and a handle with a reel seat. The latter is located on the rod of the rod and is one of its most important elements. It is designed to hold the coil in a constant fixed position, made of metal or composite materials with the addition of graphite. Katushkoderzhatel happens with the lower or top nut, and also there are models of "skeletal" type. And, of course, do not forget that the presence of a trigger (“trigger” in the common people) suggests that this rod is designed to work in conjunction with a multiplier reel.

As for the handle, it should be comfortable and warm in your hand - this is especially important when fishing in late autumn or in winter, when the thermometer often drops far below zero. Handles are made of cork or polyurethane foam material called EVA. The quality of both materials is usually directly proportional to the cost of the rod.

Rings

As for the rings, then they bear a much more significant load. Their location and shape affect the work of the form under load and its dynamic characteristics, casting distance. In addition, high-quality rings have not only the minimum weight with maximum strength characteristics, but also a special geometry that prevents the line from overlapping. Frames of modern rings are made of the lightest alloys of titanium or carbon, thereby achieving the lowest possible weight without losing strength. The inserts along which the fishing line goes are usually made of silicon carbide SiC. This is a very durable, wear-resistant material that is not cut at all by a monofilous fishing line or braided cord during spinning operation. However, he is quite fragile and afraid of blows, as, indeed, all the elements of the rod.

Material

  Let us turn to the materials from which the spinning rods are made. The very first, rare spinning live to the present day since the times of the Soviet Union and they are made of metal. Now hardly anyone uses such artifacts, and they are found only as museum exhibits. Of the advantages of these spinning rods are distinguished by their enormous strength and durability. The next round of evolution is fiberglass. This material is widely distributed and most often found in the spinning of the budget segment. Weigh such rods, of course less than metal, but still they are heavy. Such spinning rods are usually very affordable, and the simplicity in circulation makes them quite popular, although their properties leave much to be desired.

The top of spinning engineering is firmly occupied by carbon fiber - this is the most modern and high-quality material for rods. It is both lightweight and durable, has excellent sensitivity and transmits to the angler in his hand everything that happens at the other end of the cord. The only drawback of such forms is their requirement for careful and accurate handling, they do not like blows and often break, especially during transportation. These rods differ in magnitude of the content of graphite. The higher the module, the harder, lighter and more resonant it turns out spinning, but at the same time it is more fragile. If the module of graphite content is low, then the rod will be softer and less sensitive, but more durable.

Special features

And finally, we note the design features. Spinning rods are single-part, two-part, multi-part, and also telescopic. The best in terms of sensitivity are odnochastniki. Because of their whole system, they are deprived of a joint, on which a large loss occurs in sensorics, but it is inconvenient to transport such rods. Telescopic options are very compact, but they are also the most "deaf". Therefore, the most optimal and common is a two-part spinning.

We hope that this article will help you to more intelligently understand such an ambiguous and multifaceted concept as "Characteristics of spinning rods".
