Rods are normally made with Plastic, composite carbon blended with Kevlar, or just high composition carbon. Since the carbon’s force and it’s strength with it’s mass isn’t heavy this makes it a strong substance that can allow for thinner fabrication but still is able to keep the span and length. a rod that is lighter evidently handling will be easier, controlling it would be much less tiring on the arms and has reduced resistance and gives a person an easier time casting it on the more windy days.

Rods are also made with silicon carbide, hard chrome or ceramic rings boasting the function the line pass all the way though. These are very precisely used because of their smoothness having the function to cut back on friction [when passing through the line] and keep the maximum strength. Silicon materials are costly, you may want to bring use ceramic rings such as Zircon which when taken in to account, is not nearly as tough or light but is a lot easier on your wallet Chrome rings are better and even though every season they require replacement, they perform great in the area of line running. At least thirteen rings are needed from the handle up to the tip with fewer near the handle and more as you go up.

As you check the length of the rod, you’ll need to consider exactly what kind of fishing you want to try. If you want far out fishing, then you would want a larger type of rod because you will have better control as you playing with the fish If you are planning to go fishing in an area that is enclosed, you’ll want a shorter rod and generally the best rod is three point nine meters which is long for a waggler but doesn’t cast far.

Handles: Handles are made from either cork or foam regardless, your decision comes down to preference so just try handling the two materials so you can know which feels best before you take it home.

Action: Action is a term used to describe how the rod will bend having been placed under a lot of strain and the efforts of a fish.

On a rod there are two types of tips, these are hollow tips, and spliced tips. Hollow tips are good for the catching of carp as well as tench and chub which are known to have a progressive or a developing action of sorts which means it is sharp for quick bites though also good to handle longer strikes. Usually spliced tips are spliced to the end allowing for twenty four inches of carbon.

When choosing a rod,these questions will help you pick the best:

How frequent and in what locations do you fish? are you just starting out someone who fished on weekends? or a competitive angler?if you have just started fishing working with a budget is best and spend less money on your first rod. When you learn more techniques and when you think that fishing is a good hobby for you then you should start to spend on more specific rods.

Freshwater or Saltwater fish? While some rods exist that can work for both types of fish rods are generally made for a specific purpose and application.

Power, sensitivity, and your technique: Your rod should coincide with the way you fish so if you prefer lures then you want a rod that is comfortable enough to cast continually.

Red Hot Easter – Paul Gartside, Simon Collins and Andy Whymark

Simon, Andy and I had all been fishing for a few years together and had had our share of 20’s and blanks, for our first trip to France we wanted to find a big fish runs lake and if the blogs were to be believed this was the lake we needed to visit.

After 12hrs traveling we arrived at Ian the owners house who gave us a very warm welcome and a tour of the lake. Ian takes a personal interest in his guests and is very keen to offer advice. I will say now that you would do well to listen, on his advice I baited a small bed under a known spot and 3 hours after I had setup my bivvy I had my first 30 and a new PB.

I had set up camp at the ‘Tin Hut’ swim at the far end of the lake with my two friends at the other end in the double platform swim (Tim’s Swim)

Sunday & Monday proved to be quiet days for me with only a couple of runs resulting in a further 30 and a 27, Andy and Simons rods were screaming every couple of hours at the other end of the lake so I used the time to spod out a large bed of bait off to the right of the swim in case I needed to move up the lake if things didn’t heat up. By Tuesday night I had a new PB of 34lb again to the spot that Ian had first pointed out, My new baited bed off to the right had also produced it’s first twenty in the morning but then nothing all day, That night I resolved to move a couple of swims closer to Andy and Simon as their action hadn’t slowed and were now about 100lb’s of fish each in front of me.

I moved up to the ‘Reggies point’ swim which is centre to the lake, this meant I could still cast to the baited bed I had put down on the Monday and cast to the right to share the edge of a large bed that had been producing well for Simon. This way the three of us had a pretty much uninterrupted baited strip covering half the length of the lake.

Wednesday was fairly quiet during the day with 3 fish early on and nothing from the baited area after 11am, Simon and Andy meanwhile were doing well with Simon landing a superb 45lb 15oz Mirror beating Andy’s newly acquired PB of 37lb.

At 7.15pm I started to get a slow beep beep from my left hand rod on the Bed of bait from Monday, I picked up the rod and lifted into the fish… Odd! I’ve hooked a tree branch… and then the branch started to move slowly, Raised the rod tip and wound down to pump the rod for the first time at which point the fish took off bending the tip right round and stripping line off of the reel. At this point I guessed I was into one of the lakes big cats. I’ve caught big sea fish before and this felt just like them but never on 18lb mainline and a size 6 hook and as the cat kited across the lake I shouted to Andy and Simon for a hand getting my other rods in. Due to the light tackle I wasn’t going to be able to bully this fish, it was only going to come in when it got tired. The clutch was set fairly light allowing the cat to take line but work for it in the process, pumping the rod wasn’t going to work without tightening the clutch so I opted to ‘walk’ the fish back and then walk forward and wind. This worked and I was soon gaining line, after about 20 minutes we had the fish rise a short way out from the swim, wow, this thing was 6 feet long. After a spirited couple more sprints off the cat was beaten and we managed to get him landed. The fight had lasted over 30 minutes and both fisherman and fish were exhausted. The cat weighed in at 87lb and was without a doubt the highlight of my entire week. We got the cat back in the sling and lowered it back into the water. This was my first cat and I wanted to make sure it went back safe and well, I decided to strip off and get in the lake to support it. In the end it took a good 10 minutes before the cat was ready for the off and then with one solid slap to my legs he swam off.

Elated, slimy, cold and tired, I got showered at the caravan, had a beer and decided not to put my rods out for the night and get some kip instead.

Simon and Andy had a busy night by all accounts but I was out cold to the world dreaming of big cats.

The next morning I sorted out the mess from the night before replacing everything from the leadcore down on the rod that got the cat in case it had been weakened, just as well as the hook link looked as though someone had been at it with sandpaper. Re-spodded all of the beds and recast. Ian showed up at 9am and within 2 hours I had 2 more 20’s and a 30 to the bed that produced the cat, my arms were still aching from the night before and it was good of Ian to net the fish and play photographer.

At 7.45pm my left had rod gave a slow beep beep beep just like it had done exactly 24hrs before I lifted into the fish and immediately it kited to the right at speed and with a lot of torque, I was into another big cat. After a very similar but shorter fight at only 20 minutes and again with the help of Simon and Andy I had a 72lb cat, fantastic I thought, this means last night wasn’t a fluke not to get a snap off, it really is moments like this that give you confidence in your rigs & knots.

Friday morning again produced good numbers of fish with Andy getting another 30 and me landing my first 40 at 40lb and 3oz.

To sum it up, we all had PB’s, our first 30’s and 40’s and the big cats just made this trip the stuff of dreams. Ian was an excellent host, I’m going to be back there at the first opportunity I get.

A BIT FROM SIMON

Without repeating Paul’s concise account of our first trip to France I’d just like to add a bit from my experience. WOW! We arrived at Ian’s at around mid day and he came straight out to greet us and offer a cuppa. Introductions done it was straight down to the lake for a guided tour. There was only three of us on the lake that week so we had the pick of the swim’s, though Ian suggested a double and a single and we went with his advice, good decision.

As Paul has already said, the action started for me and Andy within the first hour and never stopped for the entire trip.

Strangely I had very little action during the nights but was awoken every morning at about 6am by a screaming run and landed a carp of 25lb or over. I was not bored during the night though as Andy was getting at least 2 runs.

Wednesday was the highlight for me, We had had a bit or a rain storm and I decided to use the time to bring my rods in and have a quick shower and a change of clothes. The rain stopped and the rods went back out. About half an hour later the buzzers screamed into life and I struck into a big fish. We had all had a few thirties by now and I knew this was at the upper end of these. About 15 minutes later the net was slipped under a fish and Andy and I knew I’d just landed the first forty of the trip. Well, clean me and Clean clothes gone for a burton a 45lb 15oz carp was weighed, photographed and slipped back. I’m sure with a little drying of the weigh sling we could have got it to 46lb.

No more forties for me for the rest of the trip but many more fish from high twenties to mid thirties, the action just did not stop.

Would I like to go again??? I don’t think I need to answer that!

An All Round Angle to Angling

Match fishing consists of an organised group of anglers fishing for an allotted time, normally five hours, in a swim where you have to stay for that period (except for a call of nature!). The winner is the competitor to have the greatest total weight. You pay an entrance fee, which normally includes the day ticket and at the end the prize money is distributed to the designated winners. You need just normal tackle for these matches: Rods, Poles, Reels etc.

Carp fishing, is generally the pursuit of larger fish. This involves having the right equipment: Rods, Reels, Bait, Clothing and Rigs but probably more importantly water craft. Water craft often means long spells of just observing waters and fish, watching their behaviour patterns and feeding patterns because after all you are targeting large specimen fish. Some people take this a stage further by targeting individual fish and most of the biggies have names, which are well known in the higher levels of carp fishing. Often with this type of fishing you only get out what you actually put in. As they say if you are not fishing you won’t even get a run, so get out there and get catching !!

At Bromages we have a large selection of Carp rods from 2,25 lb t/c to 3.25 lb t/c ideal for most carp fishing situations, with Rod Pods and Rod Holdalls to suit our range of carp rods. All luggage for carp fishing is generally personal i.e. I like that one but not that one, so we tend to sell the better quality luggage. Bite alarms and indicators are once again personal choice but we cater for the novice as well as the expert. Bivvies have a great variety, so make sure you choose the right model for your need. We carry a large selection of carp baits including Pellets, Pastes, Boilies, Maize and Hemp, we also freeze down maggots and casters which are ideal for spodding especially in the summer months. When targeting large species such as Carp you need to have the correct tackle and accessories to optimise success. Bivvies are important when spending time on the bank, obviously weather conditions can change quite quickly so a decent bivvy is essential. But as with most things now fishing tackle has never been so cheap and I would have to say it is a buyers market. Clothing is normally a forgotten purchase but a really important item for the serious carper.

Coarse fishing is generally referred to as pleasure fishing. Strange really as ALL anglers enjoy their sport. Mostly these anglers do all styles of fishing including Pleasure, Match, Carping and Piking. Pleasure or coarse anglers normally travel further to try out a wider variety of venues. The tackle used is probably a broader spectrum including Spinning and Pike Rods and Reels, Carp Rods and Reels along with Float Rods and Reels and Feeder Rods and Reels and of coarse Poles. I would imagine these anglers have a larger knowledge of most fish. Pleasure or Coarse not only means fishing but also the pleasure and peace of the countryside and wild life. So in a nutshell Coarse anglers are Match Fishermen, Carp Fishermen, Pike Fishermen, Pleasure Fishermen or all of them rolled into one !!

Predator fishing is a totally different style of fishing i.e. you can use Lures, Livebaits, Deadbaits and Flies tied for this style of fishing. You need a variety of tackle, including Spinning rods, Deadbait rods and Reels to suit. Spinners, lures etc. are normally used with wire traces of varying strengths, either made yourself or bought off the shelf. As with Carp fishing you need to spend time on a water and get watercraft to see where the predators tend to feed. This is such a varied style and very personal to the angler with baits flavour enhancers and types of lure and spinners so you really need to do your homework when planning a predator session, carrying the right baits and lures and tackle for the water you are fishing.

At Bromages we stock a wide selection of products for all the types of fishing mentioned in this article. We offer unbiased advice on any area of tackle shopping and can usually provide any products you require even if we do not stock them.

    Saltwater Fishing- Get The Best Fishing Reels

    Irrespective where you are fishing the fishing reels must be the best quality and not let you down. If you are in the process of building your fishing kit, you should pay particular attention to the kind of equipment you are putting together. A penny pinched here and there could cost you a prized trophy on any of your fishing trips. There are different sets of equipment for different game. You definitely so not want to fish for shark with a rod and reel designed to go after carp do you? As you gain experience an angler you will be adding equipment to your fishing gear. You should only add the best and proven equipment if you want to prevent frustration and disappointment on any of your fishing trips.

    The reel on your fishing rod is a very important bit of equipment, especially if you are fishing in the salt waters of the deep seas. The size of the fish that you can hook can be monstrous and put up a big fight when you try to land it. The reel is essentially a set of gears that facilitate reeling in a huge weight. When you hook a large fish such as a Marlin or a shark you will ensure that you are able to bring it in without losing your equipment. This is the reason many fishing boats have a seatbelt for the angler and a fastening system for the rod as well. The saltwater fishing reel is designed to lock in a way that will prevent the reel from un-winding. The gears on the reel facilitate the angler to effortlessly reel in the fish a little at a time.

    If you hook a large fish it is going to put up a great fight to prevent you from bringing it in. You will have to be patient if you do not want to lose your hook and lure. Reel in the fish slowly allowing it to swim and trash around in the water. If your fishing rod is secured to the boat you do not have to worry about losing it, at the most you will have to cut the line and let the fish go. But if you have patience, and the right equipment, you can have the biggest fish for a trophy. Basically you’re fishing reel and line is what should not let you down.

    Salt water fishing reels differ in size and use. A reel too big will not serve the purpose of fishing for smaller fish and a small reel will not be any use when you are fishing for big game. Experience will teach most of what you need to know about fishing and the equipment that is just right for the game you are after. Experienced anglers will teach you where to get that equipment from.
