Statistics
- It is estimated there are at least 2 million people who go fishing in California each year. (californiayachtsales.com)
- Coarse fishing is 100% catch and release these days. (linesonthewater.anglingtrust.net)
- For most freshwater species you are most likely to target when first starting out, a reel size of 20 to 30 should be more than enough! (strikeandcatch.com)
- To substantiate this theory, Knight attempted a systematic inquiry by considering the timing of 200 'record' catches, more than 90 percent were made during a new moon (when no moon is visible). (myfwc.com)

How To
Why would you want to use a spinning rod instead?
Spinning Rods are useful for casting your lure into the waters without leaving the boat. This is a great option if you don’t want to spend too much time returning to the boat after casting. A spinning rod can be used to cast from any location and maintain control of your line. There are three major components to the rod; handle, butt and reel section. The handle is the part that holds the rod in your hand and grips the shaft. The rod's tip is attached to the hook at the butt section. Finally, the reel's seat holds the line and the reel. There are many kinds of rods on the market today. Some are designed to be used only for certain types of fishing, such as casting or trolling. Others can be used to fly fish, spin fish, baitfish, and so on.
The type of fish that will be caught determines the type and size of the rod. For example, if you target large predatory species like bass or pike, you would probably want a heavy-duty rod. If you are fishing for smaller species, such a trout or salmon, a lighter weight rod may work better. You could even consider buying multiple rod sizes, depending on how large the fish you are trying to catch.
Spinning Rods don't have to be limited to freshwater fishing. They are also used frequently for saltwater fishing. Saltwater spinning rods are generally heavier than their freshwater counterparts because they require stronger materials to withstand the rigors of saltwater. Saltwater spinners tend to have a longer rod, but a larger diameter. This allows them cast farther distances. However, keep in mind that there are some downsides to using a spinning rod for saltwater fishing. First, unlike freshwater spinning rods, saltwater ones do not come with reels. Instead, you will have to buy one separately. Secondly, they are typically quite expensive. A spinning rod is an option if you like to catch bigger fish.
Spin fishing is a method of angling in which a fisherman uses a spinning rod to cast a weighted lure into the water. The weighted center of the lure turns as the lure moves through water. This causes the lure move erratically through the water, making fish difficult to spot. Fish may mistakenly consider the lure food and begin eating it. The lure will draw more fish to itself. The fisherman can then reel in the line attached to the lure. After the lure has been recovered, the fisherman will be able to reel in the line until he captures the desired amount of fish.
