fishing rods

Tackle box companions

Fishing rods are long, flexible poles used to cast a line and hook into water for catching fish.

The rod bends when a fish takes the bait, absorbing shock and helping tire the fish.

Rods range from simple cane poles to sophisticated carbon fiber designs engineered for specific types of fishing: fly rods, spinning rods, surf casting rods.
