Executive Summary about Fly Fishing Rods by Joel Davis

Here then are the basics about choosing the best fly fishing rods for you.

Fly fishing rods come in many different lengths and line weights and are matched to the fly reel, the line weight and to the environment you will be fishing in. As a general rule, use shorter rods for smaller creeks and streams, longer rods for bigger rivers, lakes and saltwater use.

Small trout fly rods can start with a line weight rod of 3 up to 6, for larger rivers and lake fishing, anglers generally use trout fishing rod weight 6 to 9, and for open water and sea fishing go for 9 weight and upwards.

Which Fly Fishing Rod is Ideal For You?

Executive Summary about Fly Fishing Rods by Kolawole Olombiwonnu

Fly fishing is different from traditional fishing methods in several important ways. These important distinctions serve to make the fly fishing rod the most important piece of equipment you buy.

Traditional fishing uses a rod equipped with nearly weightless, transparent, monofilament line to cast a weighted hook into the water. Fly fishers cast the entire time they are fishing. While the fishing reel is very important in traditional fishing it is not nearly so important in fly fishing. There are many choices of graphite fly fishing rods available though.

Fly fishing rods are categorized by weight (for instance, a 6-weight rod - also written as 6wt). The weight of the fly rod you buy will be determined by where you intend to fish. It is important to use line that matches the weight of the rod when fly fishing. One general rule when shopping for a fly rod is to purchase the most expensive rod you can afford. Remember too that while fly fishers tend to be an opinionated bunch, fly fishing rods are largely a personal preference.
