Saltwater Fishing Rods
Saltwater fishing is an inshore and offshore sport using multiple techniques paired with the appropriate saltwater fishing rods. Casting, spinning, bottom fishing, fly-fishing or surf fishing rods are all suitable for inshore saltwater fishing from piers; inshore fishing from the surf line requires a surf rod. Offshore, saltwater fly-fishing, trolling and bottom fishing rods work best. Small to mid-size fish are normally caught when inshore fishing, and larger fish are caught offshore.
Saltwater fishing rods have many different attributes and to select the right rod one must understand the purpose of each. Choosing the right rod length, butt length, line guide and taper will enable you to get the most out of your saltwater fishing rods. For example, surf rods are long with a fast taper and are designed to cast beyond the breakers.
Generally, long rods give long casts, need lighter line and are better for lure casting and trolling; short saltwater fishing rods use heavier lines and work for bottom fishing. Spinning, trolling and bottom saltwater fishing rods have longer butt lengths, while shorter butts suit casting rods. Inexpensive metal or roller guides are best for bottom fishing and heavy trolling. Costly ceramic guides are exceptionally smooth and enable long casts for surf or fly-fishing.
Taper, which indicates the amount of bend a rod gives from end to end is measured from slow (least bend) to extra fast. Better rods generally have a faster taper with a stiff butt and strong bend at the tip, but heavy-duty, short rods with a slow taper make the best saltwater fishing rods for bottom fishing. Offshore bottom fishing rods are best with a shorter taper and a medium length, while offshore fly-fishing rods need to have long rod length and a fast taper to accommodate both the cast and the reel-in.
