Lure rod hardness refers to the force that lure rod can withstand when fishing, that is, the softness and hardness of the rod. The choice of lure rod hardness mainly depends on the following factors:
1. The size of the target fish. In general, the larger the target fish, the harder the lure rod is needed, and vice versa. This is because the pull and impact of big fish are stronger than those of small fish, and they need to be controlled and wrestled with a hard rod, while the pull and impact of small fish are weaker, and using a soft rod can increase the fun and protect the fish's mouth. For example, if you want to fish for large fish such as sea bass, mandarin fish, and blackfish, you can choose a medium-hard or hard rodFor small fish such as horsemouth and white stripes, you can choose a soft or ultra-soft rod.
Second, the weight of the bait. In general, the heavier the bait, the harder the lure rod is required, and vice versa. This is because heavy baits need to be cast with a hard rod to exert the elasticity and strength of the rod, while light bait needs to be cast with a soft rod to reduce underwater drag and interference. For example, with heavy baits such as lead-headed hooks, thunderfrogs, surface baits, etc., you can choose medium-hard or hard rods;Use light baits such as small yellow noodles, second sticky beans, bubble balls, etc., and you can choose soft or super soft rods.
3. Types of fishing methods. In general, the finer the fishing method, the lower the hardness of the lure rod required, and vice versa. This is because fine fishing requires a soft rod to sense subtle changes underwater and improve the hook rate of the fish, while violent fishing requires a hard rod to quickly stab the fish and reduce the unhook rate of the fish. For example, if you use a delicate fishing method such as soft bait, minnow, swing bait, etc., you can choose a soft or medium-soft rod;Use surface bait, compound sequins, thunder and other violent fishing methods, and you can choose a medium or hard rod.
In short, the choice of lure rod hardness should be considered according to the size of the target fish, the weight of the bait, and the type of fishing method.
