Excellent Fishing Rods for that Perfect Fishing Experience
Posted on Feb 21, 2010 under Fishing Lures | No Comment
Today’s Fishing rods have incorporated modern features that are not typical of the more primitive cane pole. Modern fishing rods contain reels, which aid in the retrieval of fish caught in its bait.
A much-sophisticated feature is the spinning rod where the entire shaft of the rod except the handle can move around on its axis to allow flexibility when fish caught on snare bait struggles through the water.
Like the classic cane fishing rods, the fishing gadget is thick at the handle (bottom) and is tapered and thinner at the tip. This very basic design allows handling stability and flexible movement of the entire length of the shaft.
Types of Fishing Rods and Specifications
A typical fishing rod measures 6 and 16 feet (2 and 5 m) and vary in capability to tolerate strain in fishing activity. The length has a lot to do with withstanding force exerted by the fish to the pole and determines for the most part the performance of rods used for angling.
Cane Poles
Cane poles are one of the smallest and less sophisticated gadgets in fishing. It is usually made of bamboo or other flexible wood material with the most basic fly line attached to it.
Unlike other more sophisticated fishing rods, cane poles do not usually contain reels or its equivalent to be used for reeling in or retrieving fish caught on bait. This very same action is known as angling.
Spinning Rods
These types of rods are the most popular today. They can be used either for heavyweight or lightweight fish although they were proven best for trout, walleye and bass fish. They vary in measurements from 5 and 7 feet (1.5 and 2.5 m).
Spinning poles are commonly used in bass fishing competition accounting for their flexibility and tolerance to stress. They accommodate bigger and tougher fly lines and stabilize them to avoid line tangles during uncoiling of float lines.
Jigging Rods
These rods are best for heavy lures and baits especially when reaching around 180 to 200 feet under the ocean’s surface. They are made of fine, solid materials which accounts to their heaviness. The use of jigging rods is specifically due to alternating currents during the fishing activity.
Some oceans have erratic undersea current. That is why the bait and fly lines should be kept in place. Lures are also disturbed and cause confusion among fish if the lines are not long and heavy enough to withstand and tolerate water currents under the sea.
These rods are best for target fishes usually found dwelling at the bottom of the sea such as halibut and cods.

Put Together a Rainbow Trout Fishing Journey in Alaska
Posted on Feb 21, 2010 under Fishing Hooks | No Comment
If you love rainbow trout Fishing, Alaska is the place to go. The water is clear, the fish are jumping at your hooks and the scenery is absolutely stunning. However, prior to heading out on a major fishing expedition, please read on for some ideas and hints that will help your fishing trip go as smoothly as possible.
Know When to Go
Technically, rainbow trout fishing season in Alaska runs from mid June to the last day of October. But, as most anglers know, that doesn’t mean you can just stand in a river during that time and expect to catch a fish. You need to know where the fish are traveling and where they’ll be when you want to find them. For up-to-date information on trout travel, check with the Alaska Department of Fish and Game.
A Guide by Your Side
Having a guide is not only safe, but it’s also smart. This is a person who can help you find the best spots for fishing, assist in navigating the waters and river systems of Alaska and give you helpful tips and tricks on rainbow trout fishing. Alaska fishing guides and lodges are everywhere, but choosing the right one can be critical for your overall experience.
When choosing a guide, select one that provides all the tools and equipment that you’ll need on your trip (instead of lugging it on the plane). Also, inquire about the accommodations, food and experience level of the staff. Some recommended companies include Alaska NW Charters (yacht fishing charters), Alaska Outdoor Adventures, and Puffin Alaska Fishing Charters.
While researching prospective guides online is a great idea, you should always call the person or lodge and speak to them directly before you book. You’ll likely be committing several days in a boat with this individual, so you want to make sure you get a positive vibe and a sense that the person meshes with your fishing personality.
Acquire a Fishing License
Typically, most guides will either arrange your license for you or possess a blanket license that covers you as a passenger of their boats. If you’re not heading out with a guide who does this, you’ll need to purchase your own license from the Alaska Department of Fish and Game. You can buy it online and should expect to pay $55 for a weeklong license or $145 for yearly access to the Alaskan waters.
In addition to obtaining a license, you must follow several other state rules and regulations regarding sport fishing. For example, you can’t sell fish that were caught by sport fishing, nor can you export them unless they’re properly prepared for transport. You’re also limited in the type of equipment you can use. To review these regulations, contact the Fish and Game office directly or check out their website.
Know What to Pack
Most guides will supply you with gear, including a rod and, if needed, waders. However, you should discuss this with your guide beforehand and ask for a packing list. Depending on the time of year and where in the state you’ll be situated, your packing needs will vary. When it comes to rainbow trout fishing, Alaska is the place to be, but you need to be prepared to maximize the experience.

Can saltwater fishing lures work for freshwater fishing?
Posted on Feb 20, 2010 under Fishing Lures | 8 CommentsHey, I just bought "Gulp, New Penny" shrimp lures thinking they would be good for freshwater fishing. Little did I know but they are used for saltwater. Will they work when I go freshwater Fishing?
They will work fine, as long as they smell bad and aren’t huge. Most, if not all salt water lures work in fresh water. The only difference is the size and what they are made of. Salt water lures have to be made of special materials so the salt does not ruin them and the hooks.
