Australian Fishing Buyers Guides

A fly rod's essential components are action, length, and weighting. Choosing the right fly rod will be influenced by a mix of these factors, as well as the type of fishing you are going to do in Australia.

Overhead fishing rods, which are made with strength and power in mind, are frequently used when fishing from boats where you can hook onto bigger fish in Australia. 

Travel rods are all about freedom, which is why we offer models from renowned brands such as Berkeley, Daiwa, Gary Howard, Shakespeare and Shimano.

Spin rods are commonly used for light to heavy freshwater and saltwater Australian fishing. They are versatile and easy to use, making them a popular choice for beginners and experienced anglers alike. Spin rods are ideal for catching fish species such as bass, trout, and bream. They are also great for fishing in tight spaces or where a long cast is necessary to get to the target species. Heavier spin rods can be used to catch larger Australian fish, such as Travelly and Queenfish.

When choosing a baitcaster rod and reel, consider factors such as length, action, power, and material. A longer rod provides better casting distance, while a shorter rod offers better control. Action refers to the flexibility of the rod tip and determines how it responds to the lure’s movements underwater.
