What size rod is best?
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.
What size rod is best for all-around fishing?
You can certainly go medium-heavy if you want, but the medium is usually a good all-around size rod to be able to handle the majority of fish you would catch. A medium-action 6’6″ – 7′ rod is the ideal size for the best all-around fishing setup.
What is a fast fishing rod?
Fast rods have steep, quick tapers that allow them to only flex in the tip section of the rod. This type of flex allows the rod to load very quickly and accommodate heavier flies or lines.
