It is not always convenient to catch peaceful fish at remote distances from the coast with a simple fly fishing rod. Of course, you can use the donka, but bites with such tackle are far from always visible. That is why many experienced anglers use fishing rods for long casting. Such a rod is called a match. It very much resembles spinning, but the arrangement of the rings is more frequent, and they are fixed on higher legs. Matches are available in two versions: telescopic and plug-in.
Long fishing rods for ordinary, non-professional anglers are better suited for telescopic. They have a number of convenient advantages over plug-in ones. Firstly, when using them you do not have to constantly pass a rather thin line through at least 15 rings before fishing. Especially this procedure is difficult to perform in windy weather. Secondly, this rod is easy to transport.
The length of the fishing rod for long casting in working condition is from 4 to 4.3 meters. It is best to use rods designed for loading from 2 and, perhaps, up to 16 g, as well as up to 40 g (for the most distant castings). In the equipment of the match, only an
inertialess reel with an open spool is used. Forest capacity should be at least 100 meters. For fishing on long casts, special floats are used. They usually have plumage, like an arrow. It is necessary in order for the float to fly straight, without any
rotational movements and not
move away from the intended trajectory. Match floats are designed for the most accurate and long casts. In their form, they are somewhat similar to gymnastic clubs, and they fly the same way as this sports equipment - with a thickening forward.
A float fishing rod for long casting should be as convenient as possible, therefore, when fishing, preference is given to sliding elements that are easy to stop if necessary.
Be sure to
match the fishing rod with a special fishing line. It should be not only thin, but also sinking. It has such a fishing line is a very big advantage over ordinary. After the cast, it does not form a kind of “bubble” on the water from the wind, which sometimes frightens the fish. Usually, in order for such a fishing line to go deeper, just pull the tip of the rod slightly. Fishing rods for long casting should be equipped in accordance with the conditions of the upcoming fishing. Therefore, when buying fishing line, you must pay attention to the presence of special markings "Match". It is best to use this gear with a diameter of up to 0.16 mm. An ordinary fishing line is not used for a
match fishing rod , it will only complicate the whole fishing process and significantly affect the number of bites for the worse.
In general, we can say that snap fishing rods for long casting is simple. Such tackle, as a rule, can be used to catch fish standing far from the coast. Very good bream, medium-sized carp and carp are caught on it. If you take into account all the nuances of rigging and make the right casts, then fishing on such a fishing rod will bring not only a lot of pleasure, but also give a good catch.
