What is the difference between a fishing pole and a sea pole?

The differences between hand rods and sea rods are as follows:

1. Differences in design and structure

Hand rods refer to fishing rods without reels. At present, telescopic fishing rods are mainly used in China, which are divided into glass fiber fishing rods and carbon fiber fishing rods. They are mostly used for freshwater fishing, and the length is generally 3 to 8 meters.

The sea rod is used for throwing fishing and can fish the water surface far away. Each section of the rod body is equipped with a metal or ceramic conduit eye, and the rod handle is equipped with a clip to fix the reel. The sea pole has sufficient line storage, lead weights and bait balls, and can be thrown up to 100 meters away. The general length of sea poles is: 0.7 meters to 5.1 meters. They are mainly designed for sea fishing and can also be used in fresh water.

2. The difference in flexibility

The hook, line, float, etc. of the hand rod are relatively fixed. The sea pole can be used with various types of hooks and lines, as well as fish floats or bells, which is not only suitable for daytime but also for nighttime.

3. The signals and signs of catching fish are different

The signal of the hand rod is the float. When the wind and waves are strong, it is difficult to observe the changes of the fish float, which seriously affects the effect of the hand rod.

Sea poles generally do not float. Instead, the fish bites the hook by looking at the pole tip or listening to the ringing of the bell. As long as the pole tip shakes up and down or the bell rings loudly, you know that the fish has taken the bait and the wind and waves are against it. It has no effect on the fish biting the hook.

4. The difference between baits

The baits used with hand poles are relatively small and need to be added frequently, while the baits used with sea poles are relatively large and do not need to be replaced frequently.

5. Differences in technical requirements

Hand poles have high technical requirements. The fishing lines of hand rods are fixed, and there is little room for maneuver when catching big fish. When facing big fish, the force is mainly released through technique and the performance of the fishing rod, so strong skills are required, and the fishing rod on the sea rod The fishing reel device can adjust the drag force and effectively control the momentum of the fish, making it difficult for the fish to break the fishing line.

Use and maintenance of fishing rods

1. Use it strictly in accordance with the requirements for the sub-line, even if you catch a very big fish or Occasionally hang the bottom and cut off the sub-line after being stressed, thus protecting the fishing rod. So don't arbitrarily increase the strength of the sub-lines.

2. Don’t lift the rod too hard to catch the fish, and try to avoid directly lifting the fish ashore and lifting the hooked fish out of the water. If there are big fish in the fishing waters, the Taiwan fishing rod should be equipped with a missing line to prevent the big fish from pulling the fishing rod away, causing unnecessary trouble.

3. Whether it is a hand pole or a sea pole, it is best to use a clean soft cloth to wipe the pole while closing it. Prevent sediment and water stains from entering the wall of the fishing rod tube, causing wear and tear on the fishing rod and scratching the patent leather.

4. The metal clips on the sea pole should be kept away from water to prevent rust. It is best to wipe them with oily cotton after each fishing session. When fishing, you should also be careful to prevent trampling on the fishing rods placed on the ground. Prevent fish from dragging the fishing rod on the ground and support the fishing rod firmly to prevent being dragged into the water by fish.

5. No more fishing in winter. Fishing rods must be carefully maintained to extend their life. If the carbon fishing rod is not used, it is best to keep it in its original box. After being packed into the original box. If the fishing rod does not have the original box, you must first put it into the cloth rod cover, and then put the fishing rod into the same rod bag. Rod boxes and rod bags should be placed upright in the storage room, not horizontally, to avoid pressure damage and deformation.

6. In late spring every year, when the difference between day and night temperatures and room temperature is small, open the storage room to allow indoor and outdoor air circulation, and take out the new carbon fishing rod and cover it with chamois (or glasses cloth) Gently wipe clean the floating dust section by section. After wiping off the dust on the old rod, apply a thin layer of polishing wax to maintain the smoothness and brightness of the fishing rod (new rods do not need to be waxed).
