Over the years, increases in intelligent fishing pressure and advances in equipment have resulted in longer and longer casts, making longer rods the norm. Will the trend continue, or is it time for the pendulum to swing back to shorter rods? A shorter rod is more manageable and maneuverable.
A short 6 feet or less rod is ideal if you want to make short, accurate casts. When pinpoint accuracy is less critical, a long rod over 7 feet is the way to go. Dingy or dirty water and heavy cover are two situations where short-range accuracy is part of the recipe for success, and a shorter rod can really shine.
Long rods make long-distance casting much easier. Just remember that by gaining distance you necessarily sacrifice accuracy. Longer, heavier action rods offer more leverage than shorter, lighter action rods. This leverage is most critical on the hook-set where a longer rod can move more line faster than a shorter rod, and a heavier action rod loses less energy because it flexes less than a softer rod. Action often trumps rod length here.
In situations where close combat is needed, anglers can benefit from using a shorter fishing rod. Shorter lengths can also help when fighting fish because they often have less bend than other longer options.
Longer fishing rods excel in their ability to cast long distances, making them great for covering more water and fishing deep. The length of a fishing rod typically ranges from feet, so to choose a measurement for your needs, consider the type of fishing you plan to do, the species you are after and your fishing environment. A good length for beginner anglers is usually around 7 feet. This size can allow amateurs to have a balanced amount of casting distance and accuracy as they fine tune their skills through experience.
Fishing rods can be crafted from graphite or fiberglass. Typically, graphite rods are preferred by more advanced anglers for their rigidity and fighting power. Their sensitivity can make picking up on bites much easier.
Be mindful, however, that graphite can be more brittle than other options. Fiberglass is a sturdier material option for fishermen, but the added strength brings added weight. Beginner fishermen can benefit from fiberglass rods because of their durability and limited maintenance.
Fiberglass is also a popular option among anglers going after larger, more aggressive species like muskellunge and pike. Additionally, there are composite options that combine fiberglass and graphite. If you are an angler who uses one rod for multiple conditions, this combination can complement your style.
Consider your skill level and preferred fishing methods to best determine which material can be an asset to your fishing capabilities.
Power and action have as much to do with fishing rods as they do with the next summer blockbuster. While power and action are similar, having the right combination of the two is essential to making sure your bait and lure presentations work right in the water. Power is the amount of force necessary to bend the fishing rod.
Power is also sometimes referred to as the rod weight. While power is how much a fishing rod will bend, action is defined as where along the blank the bend occurs.
Fast action rods are great for throwing heavier baits or around heavy cover where anglers need to jerk their catches out of vegetation. However, fiberglass spinning rods are heavy and lack sensitivity with the extra weight becoming noticeable at the end of a full day fishing. Graphite spinning rods are very light and responsive but require more care than fiberglass — keep them away from car doors!
Composite materials try to blend the best of both worlds. The best choice is probably to defer to sensitivity and go with graphite. Quickly… higher modulus ratings for graphite 40 ton, 30 ton, etc tell you how light and sensitive the graphite is with the higher number indicating less weight and more sensitivity. For example, the Cadence CR7 spinning rod is made from a 40 ton carbon blank, and is therefore extremely lightweight. Construction: Look at the reel seat and the rod line guides.
The Cadence Fishing line of spinning rods have different price points in a wide variety of lengths with different power and action. All our rods are made from high quality graphite.

All of our Cadence Fishing spinning rods implement the best practices for construction, design, and meet quality standards — check out our rods — click here: Power: Measures strength. A heavy power rod will handle large fish, high pound-test line, heavier lure weights, and is good for hauling fish in from heavy cover.
Never overmatch a rod by throwing heavy lures on light power rods. Action: Measures how much the rod bends. Fast action bends at the tip, moderate bends closer to the reel. Fast action rods are more sensitive while medium and slower action rods cast farther. Length: Longer spinning rods cast farther. Shorter rods are more accurate. Composition: Spinning rods come in fiberglass, graphite and composite materials. Fiberglass is indestructible, but not sensitive. Graphite is very light and sensitive.
