Freshwater Fishing Rods
Jake Killen
Bass Fishing is becoming just as popular as a day out at the zoo or a picnic in the local park. Family day outings are now involving bass fishing. At this present moment in time Bass fishing is supposedly to be the number one freshwater sport in the USA and anyone who participates in this very self fulfilling sport will proudly tell you why. Approximate figures show that the bass fishing industry is between 65 to 70% higher than most other forms of fresh water fishing.
Over two decades - Bass Fishing has scaled to monetary heights reaching over the million dollar barrier which has now over these years become an industry worth 4.8 Billion dollars. Bass Fishing is on the increase in numbers where the demand is phenomenal among new anglers.
Casting a fishing rod is not a science, and each person does it differently. How a rod is cast determines how that fishing rod will behave. In some ways, the action of the rod will be very similar from one person to the next. But in other ways, the behavior of the fishing rod will be dramatically different depending on the person casting it. Everyone's different, and has different arms, hands, muscles and even nervous systems that affect how a fishing rod gets cast.
The action of a fishing rod is the behavior of the rod while being cast by an individual. The action of the rod may be the same for all the people who cast with it and it may be different for every person who casts with it. Very few casters cast exactly alike. Their hand, arm, muscular and nervous systems are never exactly alike and they consequently perform a cast with a rod differently than any other hand and arm, etc.
If you've ever had a fish on the hook and watched it get away because your fishing line snapped, you know how frustrating it can be. Fortunately, the fishing industry has developed monofilament fishing lines, which practically eliminate the potential for the line to snap.
Most fishermen will tell you that the worst feeling is when your fishing line snaps just when you hook a fish. Luckily, with the introduction of monofilament fishing lines, that unfortunate snap is a thing of the past. Available in different colors, sizes, strength and thickness, monofilament fishing lines are much stronger than traditional fishing lines. Better yet, they also cost less!
Monofilament fishing lines feature a unique coating designed to reduce snapping. They're bulky and strong, which gives fisherman a distinct advantage. In addition, they are easy to knot and appear transparent in the water. The only drawback to monofilament fishing lines is that the material they're made out of does not stretch as well as other fishing lines.
Imagine you're sitting out there on your fishing boat, you whip out a cool gadget you just bought from the Internet and after a couple of beeps, the device tells you that there is a school of fish some 3 meters or so away from you. Now, how cool can that be? It's almost like an ultrasound scan of the sea or the lake that tells you exactly where the fish are.
