Difference between a fishing rod and a fishing pole
Fishing rods are generally made of bamboo, wood, fiberglass, and carbon fiber.
I. Different materials
Fishing rods are generally made of bamboo, wood, fiberglass, and carbon fiber, while poles are made of high-strength materials such as fiberglass, carbon, or composites, which make them stronger and lighter than fishing poles and can better support heavy tackle.
II. Different modeling
Fishing rods are generally longer in length and more curved for lighter tackle such as jigging and creek fishing, while rods are generally shorter and stiffer for long distance casting and big game fishing.
III. Different uses
Fishing rods are generally suitable for small freshwater fishing, such as angling, river fishing, pocket fishing, etc., while fishing poles are suitable for larger trips, sea fishing and other occasions.
To summarize, fishing rods and poles are quite different in terms of material, shape and usage. When choosing fishing tackle, you need to take into account your fishing experience, the specific fishing venue and the type of fishing tackle in order to choose the most suitable one for you.
