Types Of Fishing Rod Building Blanks

By Dorthy Lloyd


The angling rod building blanks come in many forms in the market. Your choice largely depends on power, the length and the materials make it. The amount of strength that the rods use is referred as their power. The manufacturers describe this power differently. Some of the models of fishing rod building blanks are light, heavy, medium, very strong and moderately strong.

When you choose to use medium, light or heavy in description, remember the relativity they have. A heavy one meant for a largemouth bass is usually lighter compared to a heavy one meant for a striped bass. The given lure weights also give you a hint on the power of the fishing line. The specs included from different manufacturers vary so actually hold it at hand to feel it before the purchase is made. The rates listed are at times misleading.

If you decide to buy a fishing rod building blank, the ones whose loads all at the middle areas of the rods are the best. A stronger one will help you pull out fish in the rocks and huge covers. If it is strong, the pulling power is more. Lighter rods are important when you present small baits to the fish. Smaller bait can be used when you have a light rod with an heavy line.

What you consider more in the selection is the action of an angling rod building blank. It should match your preferences and the areas that you will be doing the fishing. Generally, faster acting rods exert more force on the cast, sending baits further. The same force could be enough to use delicate and live baits like the bunker, eels, shiners or mackerel. For these, you use slow acting or moderate rods.

Faster rods are more sensitive and better when used to pick lure actions. Moderate and slow ones are better when you are protecting light lines and the leaders while struggling to catch a fish. Forgiving rod tries to reduce strains from the line and protects it from cutting down and breaking off.

Choose a material whose price fits in your budget. The high end and high modulus rods of graphite are so expensive. They are both light and powerful but normally fragile than the composite and the fiberglass rods. These graphite blanks are good when used to build light weight rods because they are very sensitive.

Some fishermen prefer slow action fiberglass shaft whose line is braided. They still do offer a lot of sensitivity. When it comes to specific styles to bait fish or troll, the glass shafts may prove easy on budget and perform well or better at times than the graphite ones. If you desire sensitive and also light rod, graphite is what you buy but for a tough and durable product composite and fiberglass are the gold.

The length of the fishing stick does matter. Surfcasters prefer ten feet shafts while boat operators go for those around seven feet. Longer shaft enable distance casting while shorter ones exert more force towards the hooked fish while ensuring less strain to the fisher man. The shafts can be adjusted to suit the preferences of a person.
