Your particular fishing techniques and preferences as well as the type and test of your line will influence your choice of fishing rod reel combos. Anglers who regularly use several different techniques during a day of fishing often carry three or four fishing rod combos each set up with different 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.
Casting and trolling with large deep diving crank baits and live bait rigs weighing more than 1/2oz is easiest accomplished with fishing rod combos that include a 5 ½ to 6 ft medium power, fast action bait casting rod. 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.
It’s particularly important to choose quality fishing rod combos that are designed to be used to target sensitive biting species such as perch and walleye. When sensitivity is your main objective then you want a fast action rod because slower action rods are not designed for sensitivity. The rod material preference of most serious anglers is graphite or boron because these materials transmit better vibrations then fiberglass.
There are other features of the rod’s construction that you need to consider. For instance, for better vibration the rod blank should extend in one piece from the tip all the way through the rod handle and should be constructed using single foot line guides because double foot guides add weight to the rod and 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.
