Your choice of fishing rod reel combos, and line will depend on the fishing technique that you choose. It is very common for most fisherman that vary their fishing techniques to carry several different fishing rod combos that are already set up with specific lures or live bait rigs.

The following recommendation will help you choose your rods best suited to your style of fishing. My preference is spinning fishing rod combos and many of my recommendations and examples will reflect that. 

• Rods

For casting and trolling with lures and live bait rigs from ¼ to 5/8 ounce, select a 5 ½ to 6 foot medium power, fast action spinning rod When your looking for fishing rod reel combos this would be an excellent general purpose choice.

For casting small jigs and other lures and rigs weighing from 1/16 to 3/8 ounce, select a 5 to 5 ½ foot light power, fast action spinning rod This rod flexes easily on the back cast, so it works well in propelling light lures and baits.

If your specialty is casting and trolling large deep diving crank baits and heavy 1/2 ounce or larger live bait rigs than look for bait casting fishing rod combos that are 5 1/2 to 6 foot in length with medium power and fast action. Because this rod has more backbone than most spinning rods, it is better suited for heavier lures and rigs.

If you fish mainly with live bait a 6 to 7 foot light power, medium action spinning rod is a better fit when you go looking for your fishing rod reel combos. These rods are a better choice than a shorter stiffer rod.

If you are going to be targeting a soft biting fish species for example the walleye, then sensitivity needs to be a important consideration in your selection when you shopping for quality fishing rod combos. Notice that most of the recommended rods have a fast action. Slower action rods are not as sensitive. Most serious fisherman prefer graphite or boron rods because they transmit vibrations better then fiberglass rods.

Other important features that improve a rods ability to transmit vibrations include a blank that extends all the way through the rod handle with one piece construction, and light weight single foot line guides. Double foot guides add weight and tend to restrict the rods action.

Please feel free to use any of our recommendations on selecting rod reel combos we have included on this webpage. Just remember that these recommendations are not set in stone and they are to be only used as guideline to help you choose quality fishing rod combos when your shopping for fishing equipment. These recommendations have been developed by my past 25 years of fishing experience. But there are always other choices so you make your own decision.Click The Following Link To Get More Details On: fishing rod combos
