- Coarse fishing is 100% catch and release these days. (linesonthewater.anglingtrust.net)
- About 40 percent of all fish are freshwater species. (takemefishing.org)
- For most freshwater species you are most likely to target when first starting out, a reel size of 20 to 30 should be more than enough! (strikeandcatch.com)
- To substantiate this theory, Knight attempted a systematic inquiry by considering the timing of 200 'record' catches, more than 90 percent were made during a new moon (when no moon is visible). (myfwc.com)

How To
Why should you use a spinning rod?
Spinning rods are used to cast your lure into water without having to leave the boat. This is a great option if you don’t want to spend too much time returning to the boat after casting. A spinning rod will allow you to cast from any position, while maintaining control over your line. The rod has three main components; handle, butt section, and reel seat. The handle is used to hold the rod, and the shaft. The hook's tip can be attached to the rod's butt section. Finally, the reel seat holds the reel onto which the line is attached. There are many types of rods today. Some rods are made for fishing specific techniques, like trolling or casting. Others can be used in a variety ways, such as fly fishing and spin fishing.
The type you catch will affect the type rod you choose. For example, if you target large predatory species like bass or pike, you would probably want a heavy-duty rod. For smaller species, like salmon and trout, a lighter-weight rod might be better. You could even purchase multiple rod sizes depending upon how big you plan to catch the fish.
Spinning Rods don't have to be limited to freshwater fishing. They are also used frequently for saltwater fishing. Saltwater spinning rods weigh more than their freshwater counterparts, as they need stronger materials to withstand saltwater's harsh conditions. In addition, saltwater spinners usually feature a larger diameter rod with a shorter length. They can cast further distances because of this. But, there are some drawbacks to saltwater fishing with a spinning rod. Saltwater spinning reels come without reels, which is a big difference from freshwater rods. Instead, one must be purchased separately. You will also find them quite expensive. If you are interested in catching larger fish, a spinning rod might be worth looking at.
Spin fishing refers to angling where a spin fisherman uses a spinning reel to cast a weighted bait into the water. The lure spins around the center point of the weighted lure as it swims through the water. The lure will move in a erratic manner, making it hard for fish to recognize the lure. Fish may also mistakenly eat the lure for food, and begin to feed on it. The lure will therefore attract more fish. The line attached the lure can then be reeled by the fisherman. Once the lure has been retrieved, he can repeat this process until the desired number of fish has been caught.
