Fly Fishing Rods

Fly fishing rods are long and thin rods that are made to cast a fly line. It has a hook tied with fur, feathers, foam, or other lightweight material so that it is easy to cast. Weight of the fly line for is used as a basis for casting in fly rod. A monofilament segment called a “leader” is fixed at the end of fly line. Fly rods consist of single, large-diameter line guide or a stripping guide and many smaller looped guides or snake guides. This helps to regulate the movement of the comparatively thick fly line. The choice of the right size of the rod is based on various factors like wind and water conditions, weight of line and the fish type.
