but aren't sure how to put one together it really is a simple matter.

Fishing has been a way of providing food and enjoying the great outdoors for thousands of years. Fishing for sport using rods has been around for centuries. The first fishing rods were little more than branches from trees with string tied to them. Today fishing rods come in various sizes, many of which are collapsible fishing rods, that can be broken down allowing them to take up less space when being transported.

Fishing rods come in one or two pieces and you can also get a telescoping fishing rod which allows you to carry your fishing rod in your pocket or the glove box of your car. Most fresh water fisherman like the two piece collapsible rod as they save space and are simple to put together. For those who are new to fishing and thinking about getting a 2 piece or collapsible fishing rod, but aren't sure how to put one together it really is a simple matter.

Assembling A Fishing Rod

Once you take the two pieces of rod out of the package you simply slide the top part of the rod into the bottom part of the rod making sure that the eyes are lined up with one another. You then loosen the metal strip at the grove in the rods handle and slide the reel' base into the grove. Tighten the metal straps until the reel is held firmly in place without moving.

In some cases a new reel already comes equipped with the fish line. If the reel you purchased does not, then you are going to have to put line on your rod. Purchase a spool of line in the correct weight for the type of fishing you will doing. Pull a good length of line off the reel and thread it through the eye's of the pole and tie the end around the center bar of your reel. Now begin winding the line onto the reel and continuing until the reel is about half full. (If you have someone that can loosely hole the spool of line while you do this the process goes much smoother.) Once the correct amount of line is on the reel then measure 6 to 12 inches from the end of the tip of the rod and cut off the line at this point. Attach tackle and whatever lure (if any) you plan to use and your rod is ready to go.

Once your rod is assembled you can easily slip the two pieces apart again for transportation in the trunk of your car or to take up less space in that back pack.

Keep in mind that collapsible fishing rods come in a wide range of styles and colors and if you have never been fishing before then check with an experienced fisherman to get some idea on what is the best all around fishing rod for beginners. Most fishermen love the sport and will be happy to answer your questions and encourage you to try this very exciting and enjoyable hobby.

Spinning rods are normally used for fishes like trout

Contemporary fishing rods do not resemble the primitive cane poles and which can easily retrieve the fish caught in its bait with the aid of the reels in its rod.

Some of the fishing rods sport sophisticated movable shafts that can move except handle and can make it easier to catch a struggling fish caught on snare bait.

The basic design of a fishing rod has remained unchanged. It is thick at the handle (bottom) and tapered and thinner at the tip to make it flexible and provide it handling stability.

Fishing rods are normally 6 and 16 feet (2 and 5m) and have variable capacity to tolerate fishing activity strains. Length of the pole determines the withstanding power of a rod and also decides upon the angling rod's performance.

One of the smallest and less sophisticated fishing gadgets are the Cane poles, which has a basic fly line attached to it and are either made of bamboo or other flexible materials. A cane pole lacks a reel used for applying or for retrieving a baited fish.

Spinning rods are normally used for fishes like trout, walleye and bass fish but are also good for catching any heavyweight or lightweight fish. Measuring 5 and 7 (1.5 and 2.5m) they are the most popular rods presently. Being very flexible and stress resistant they are used in bass fish competition. To prevent line tangles during unfolding of fold lines they accommodate bigger and tougher fly lines.

For heavy catches around 180 to 200 feet under the ocean's surface the jigging rods are the best. Being made of fine, solid material they are heavy and can catch fish even in alternating currents. Often erratic undersea current disturb the fly line and consequently the lure. So to avoid confusion the fly lines of jigging rods are made long and heavy. Such rods are best suited for halibuts and cods that normally dwell at the bottom of the sea.

and for salmon especially

Choosing the right type of fishing rod is important, and it largely depends on the types of fishing that you intend to take part in. In the case of fishing for salmon, there are basically two types of fishing rods: the fly rod and a spinner, and the bait rod. Both of these are different from each other in terms of the types of reel that they utilize. Of course, if you see in the market today, there are many rods being advertised as being the dual purpose rods. These could be suitable for some anglers, but take it from the experienced enthusiasts, having two specialized rods is much better and more advisable than having one dual purpose rod.

The Fly Rods

A typical fly salmon fishing rod is longer and more flexible than the bait rod. It is also lighter through the butt and the handle. For salmon fishing, opt for the double handed fly rod. This will enable you to cast with both hands or with either hand. This is also a better solution for the heavier lines and reels that you will use when you are angling for the bigger and heavier salmon.

The length of your average fly salmon fishing rods could be anywhere from ten to fifteen feet. This will provide an additional height to your casting action especially when you are in deeper waters or if you opt for fishing from a boat. For women and children as well as shorter men, there is the option of the under 12-feet rods, while taller men and anglers who wish to fish in large waterways should go for the rods which are fourteen to fifteen feet in length. However, regardless of the length, the rod has to be flexible and able to bend the length of the rod and quickly snap back into place, which in turn makes your casting more accurate. In choosing a rod, remember to keep it slender to get rid of wind resistance, but keep it heavy enough to withstand the battle with a 10 - 30 pound salmon.

The Bait Rods

To have maximum control over the salmon as it fights in the water, a bait salmon rod is built in such a way that it has a tough butt end. For larger fish, do choose rods which are medium to heavy, and for salmon especially, choose heavy rods. More so if you plan on using downriggers and go trolling in your fishing boat.

Even though bait rods should be heavy, choose one that is sensitive enough so you can "feel" the fish as it is at the end of the bait. Do remember that bait rods will be heavier if you go for longer bait or spinner rods, especially those seven to ten foot salmon bait rod. However there is generally no hard and fuss rule, as it will all in the end depend on you.

Typically, graphite is utilized for making salmon fishing rods. However, other materials such as e-glass may also be used in order to increase the flexibility of the rods while at the same time, not compromising on the strength of the rods.

Besides that, take into consideration the handle of the rod. The handle has to be comfortable to grip, more so in the cold water that usually goes hand-in-hand with salmon fishing seasons. Ideally, the guides should be centered and smooth and made from rust proof materials such as aluminum oxide. Do keep in mind that the pressure from the pulling of the fish will be directly on the guides, so the construction of this vital part of the rod is critical to getting the salmon.
