Fishing Rod Buyers Guide Australia

Types of fishing rods in Australia:

• Spinning Fishing Rods: The most common fishing rod used by anglers all over Australia. Spinning rods come in a variety of lengths and sizes, ranging from children's rods to heavy surf spinning models. When paired with a suitable spinning reel, these are the most popular and widely used Australian fishing rods on the market.
  
  
• Baitcaster Fishing Rods: Designed for accurate casting and increased pulling power, giving anglers everything they need to muscle big fish away from a built up structure. When chasing Barramundi through the top end or big Murray Cod in impoundments, this is the rod to use. Put on a suitable baitcaster reel and get ready to catch some big Australian fish.
  
  
• Surf Fishing Rods: Designed for those who enjoy beach fishing with sand between their toes. Surf fishing rods are long and tough or lightweight pieces of fishing equipment that allow for long casts with heavier fishing tackle. A great piece of beach fishing gear to get your bait or lure beyond the crashing waves and into the action!
  
  
• Overhead Fishing Rods: The Australian offshore angler's preferred fishing rod. If you enjoy bottom fishing or trolling from a boat, an overhead fishing rod is the way to go. These rods are solid, extremely strong, and will not let you down when you hook a huge fish from the depths.
  
  
• Travel Fishing Rods: A great fishing rod to keep in the back of the car for an impulsive fishing trip on a family holiday. The beauty of telescopic rods or multi piece rods is their compact design, which allows you to throw it into your backpack, car boot, or luggage without a care in the world. Telescopic fishing rods and multi piece rods are a great fishing rod for exploring and travel fishing Australia.
  
  
• Fly Fishing Rods: Typically used for freshwater sport fishing to catch trout, bass and a variety of other species, but can also be used for saltwater fishing in the appropriate WF class. As you probably already know, fly fishing involves casting a lightweight fly fishing lure into the water, imitating the insects or baits on which Australian fish feed.
  
  
• Jigging Rods: Are suitable for jigging artificial jigs or fishing lures and general bottom reef fishing makes this type of rod something of an Australian fishing offshore sports fishing rod.
  
  
• Squid Fishing Rods: These saltwater fishing rods are lightweight and responsive and have the ability to cast a long distance whilst being made to withstand the repeated jerking motion used to make your lure (or jig, as they are known in the squid fishing community) mimic the swimming action of a prawn or fish in the water.
  The squid you hook should be easier to land thanks to the shock-absorbent tips on speciality squid rods.
