A Complete List Of Hand Rod Types And Detailed Introduction

Hand rods generally refer to all fishing rods that do not assemble reels (fishing reels). There are mainly two categories: traditional rods and platform fishing rods. Traditional rods can be divided into stream rods and cannon rods, while platform fishing rods can be divided into five types: crucian carp rods, carp rods, comprehensive rods, black pit rods, and large object rods. Let’s take a look at the complete collection of hand rod types and detailed introductions!

1. Traditional rod

Traditional rods are one of the main types of hand rods. The so-called traditional rods are fishing rods designed for traditional fishing methods. For example, long rods and short-line grass holes are almost always used for fishing for long rods. Due to their usage and design, they can be divided into stream rods and cannon rods. Among them, stream rods generally refer to hand rods with a shrinking length less than 80 cm, while gun rods generally refer to hand rods with an extension length of more than 8 meters.

1. Stream rod

Stream rod is a traditional rod. It is named after it is suitable for fishing in small waters such as streams. It generally refers to a hand rod with a length less than 80 cm after shrinkage. Its characteristics are short rod joints, many rod joints, and heavy rod body. The advantage is that it is easy to carry, and the disadvantage is that its performance is slightly inferior to that of long-section rods. The more famous ones are Xiangfeng under Dijia, Xuelin under Guangwei, and Fengying under Falai.

2. Cannon rod

The cannon rod is a type of traditional rod, which is most suitable for long rods and short-line fishing for grass holes. It generally refers to traditional rods with a length of more than 8 meters. The lengths are generally 8 meters, 9 meters, 10 meters, 11 meters, 12 meters, 13 meters, 14 meters, 15 meters, etc. The more famous ones are famous lakes under Dijia, Chenhu under Guangwei, Taihu under Zhongkui, Jiuduan Benliu under Baofeilong, etc.

2. Fishing rod

The platform fishing rod was introduced to the mainland together with the platform fishing. It generally refers to a hand rod with a length greater than 100 cm after shrinking. Its characteristics are that the rod joints are long, the rod joints are few, and the weight is light. The advantage is that the feel and fishing weight are very excellent. The disadvantage is that they are not as easy to carry as stream rods. Due to the different fish conditions, they can be divided into several sub-categories such as crucian carp rods, carp rods, comprehensive rods, combat rods, and large objects rods.

1. Crucian carp rod

The crucian carp rod is a fishing rod designed specifically for fishing crucian carp. Its characteristics are soft body, thin rod wall, light body, and thin rod meridian. The length is generally between 3.6 and 4.5 meters, and the tone is generally 37 or 37 28. The weight of 4.5 meters is generally within 100 grams. The more famous crucian carp rods include Lao Zhenren, Zhushan carp under Guangwei, and Crucian knife under Dongdao.

2. Carp rod

Carp rods are fishing rods specially designed for fishing carp. They are characterized by hard body, thick rod walls, weight, and thick rod meridians. The length is generally between 4.5 and 6.3 meters. The tone is generally between 28 and 28 and 19. The weight of 4.5 meters is generally above 120 grams. The more famous carp rods include the corrugated carp under Dawa, the great master of Dijia, and the Zhongkui carp under Zhongkui.

3. Comprehensive rod

The comprehensive rod is a fishing rod between the crucian carp rod and the carp rod. This fishing rod highlights the comprehensive performance. The advantage is that it feels better than the carp rod and has better strength than the crucian carp rod. From another angle, it is not as strong as the carp rod and the feels worse than the crucian carp rod. The more famous comprehensive rods include Yishao under Dawa, Yiwei EX under Huashi, Langjian under Tianyuan, etc.

4. Fighting rod

The combat rod is a fishing rod designed to grab fish in a black pit. Its characteristics are high hardness (usually expressed by H value) and a large top fishing value. The high hardness is to be able to return to the fish quickly after hitting the fish, while the large top fishing value is to be able to fly or rattle. The more famous combat rods include the Black Pit Terminator under Tianyuan, the Black Steel under Dawa, and the Quick Skill Carp under Guangwei.

5. Big rod

The big object rod is a fishing rod designed by big fish such as green fish and sturgeon. Compared with ordinary fishing rods, the big object rod has a higher weight and a larger fishing weight. Due to the different fishing weight, there are mainly three types of lightweight big object rods, big object rods, and giant object rods. The more famous big object rods include Langjian Dawu under Tianyuan, Yiwei MAX under Huashi, Bawang Han of the Fishing King, and One-strike big object under Dawa.

Note: Hand rods generally refer to fishing rods that do not contain reels. In addition to the above types, there are several fishing rods that are very similar to hand rods, such as front rods and middle rods. However, these fishing rods are equipped with reels, so they should be strictly classified as sea rods.
