Now that you've chosen your reel, you need a rod to match. There are many types of rods to choose from, made from many types of materials. The rod needs to match your reel, and this is where good advise from your local tackle store comes in handy. Take your time when choosing a rod. Try using some of your friends, or most tackle shops have some that you can wave around a bit! A rod should be light enough for you to fish all day, and not tire you, but be strong enough to help you pull in that big fish.
If you have chosen a threadline reel, choose a rod that is about 1.7 to 2.2 metres long, with a light tip and a stiffer lower end. If you will be fishing from the beach, rocks or a wharf using a larger threadline, choose a slightly longer and heavier rod.
Rods can be one or two piece. The two piece rod transports and stores easily. Care for your rod the same as your reel - wash it down with mild soapy water after each fishing trip.

Fishing is best thing to do. If you do fishing on regular basis, then you ca catch fish by this rod. But the people who don't do fishing on a regular basis can't catch fish by the help of this rod!
