Its popularity comes from its strength and durability, and its relatively low price for the quality that you get. Avid fishermen can't ask for more than that!It is the color of this fishing rod that gave it its unusual name; clear along the tip end, and a gray color on the rest of the rod.

You would not use the same rod to reel in a trout as you would to reel in a marlin. If you are going to be shore fishing or rock-hopping, you would not need nearly as large of a rod as you would if you were deep sea fishing. If you are fishing for larger, deep sea fish you will need a thick and sturdy rod, built to handle the stress of reeling in a large fish that is fighting for his life. There is a perfect rod for every type of fishing, and it is important to choose the right one.

Spin rods are designed to suit an eggbeater style reel and are used for casting and retrieving lures and baits. Many general purpose rods are called spin rods. It is likely that if you want to do a little river fishing, some pier fishing, or maybe light boat fishing that a spin fishing rod may be your best choice. Spin rods generally have lengths of 1.6m to 2.4m.
Best Fly Fishing Rod: Things You Need to Know Before You Buy a Fly Rod

Fly Fishing Rod Basics: Fly fishing rods vary from standard fishing rods in that with a fly rod you are casting the line compared to a standard rod that casts the lure. It takes much less to build a rod that casts a weighted lure than it does to cast an almost weightless line that is designed to lay on the water with maximum delicacy. Therefore, a fly rod of any quality will be a bit more expensive than your standard fishing rod. In fact, for a person just starting out bait fishing, a cheap rod will work just fine. It is quite the opposite with fly fishing rods. A quality made rod will enhance your experience tremendously when compared to a superstore combo pack where you get a complete setup, including rod, reel, line, tippet, and even flies, for under $50.00. If you are expecting to continue to fly fish, that will be money well wasted.
