Target any fish you can! 6 Recommended Rods for Surf Casting

As the name implies, tossing a bait such as a lure or fish fillet and throw it.
Basically, anyone who can throw a bait can catch a fish, so it is recommended for beginners.

In this article, we will focus on the special rods used for tossing and fishing, and introduce how to choose and recommend the best products.

We have picked up rods that can be used not only for throwing but also for other types of bait fishing, so please take a look at them.

How to Choose a Rod for Casting and Fishing

First, let’s look at how to choose a dedicated rod for throwing and fishing.

If you choose a rod that is too serious, it will make fishing more difficult, so it is better to choose a rod that is versatile.

Choose a rod that is not too long

Some casting rods are as long as 3m or more to increase the distance.

However, the longer the rod, the heavier it is, and many of them are a little too heavy for beginners to cast.

For this reason, a relatively short rod of 2.4m to 3m is recommended for beginners.

This length is easy to cast and easy for beginners to handle.

In addition, shorter rods are generally softer than longer rods, so they are recommended from the perspective of the weight of the halibut, which will be discussed later.

If you are throwing and feel that you need more distance, you may want to buy a longer rod for throwing.

The best weight to throw is around size 20.

The best weight of weight for a beginner to use when throwing is around 20.
For this reason, it is important to choose a rod that can comfortably hold a weight of around 20.

Some specialized rods are capable of throwing a size 30 rod, but such rods are too heavy and not suitable for beginners.

As I mentioned earlier, if you choose a shorter dedicated rod, you can comfortably handle around size 20.
However, if the current is fast or the water is deep, you may need a larger rod, so it is important to know your favorite spots beforehand.
