Modern rods are composite structures made of glass or carbon fiber knee tubes in the shape of a cone or cylinder.
When choosing rods, professionals pay attention, first of all, to their main parameters: weight, material, as well as length with rigidity. However, there are also other, additional characteristics, such as the transport length and the method of connecting the elbows: plug or telescopic. Whiplash soft rods are great for beginners, so that even when playing a small fish, they bend “into an arc”, while experienced professionals, on the contrary, prefer a tough average system.
Telescopic rods are those rods that are folded into each other from the base to the tip, form a single whole. Their principle is very similar to a similar astronomical instrument.
Today, fishermen are very popular with a telescopic fishing rod, the length of the butt of which is approximately sixty centimeters. They are very convenient for transportation, as they fit in a bag or in a suitcase. At the same time, anglers know that the greater the number of elbows, the greater the risk of breakage at the joints.
Telescopic fishing rods are designed for fly casts, so their strength during dynamic loads should be as high as possible. The assembly of such a rod must be carried out from above, and disassembly - from below, carefully watching that sand or dirt does not get into the knee. This can cause knees to jam. At the end of fishing, the tackle is disassembled, washed and wiped with dry material.
Today, telescopic fishing rods with rings for securing fishing lines are very common. However, many consider them not a very convenient option, because, in case of poor fastening, the rings pop out of the nests. In addition, in this situation, the loop is tightened on them so tight that you have to use a needle to unravel.
In general, there are a lot of ways to attach the fishing line. And if the fisherman has to hunt for large fish, and he is not very sure of the reliability of the top, then it is better to use the method of additional fastening for the second knee, equipped with a loop. In this case, when fishing, the fishing line does not get tangled.
Almost every telescopic fishing rod has a medium speed system, which allows you to throw the float far enough, making a clear cut at the right time.
A telescopic fishing rod is usually equipped with a reel seat with a plastic additional sealant designed for smooth and reliable operation. Thanks to him, the fishing line on the spool is wound more smoothly, and this prevents the risk of tangling it. Moreover, this ensures even dumping and trouble-free survival. Coil holders are fixed to the handle with multiple windings coated with protective varnish material.
Each angler buys a suitable gear both in terms of characteristics and price. A modern telescopic fishing rod is a rather expensive thing, therefore it must be protected not only during fishing, but also during transportation, during which many breakdowns occur. Therefore, it is better to transport and store it in a tube or case.
