fishing rods

A fishing rod is a long, flexible pole used to catch fish. Typically made from materials like fiberglass or graphite, it has a reel attached to help cast lines and retrieve caught fish. The rod is designed to bend under the weight of a fish, providing sensitivity to detect bites. It features guide rings along its length to keep the fishing line in place. Different rods are suited for various fishing techniques, such as freshwater, saltwater, or fly fishing, each tailored to catch specific types of fish in diverse environments.
