Saltwater Guides: Made of plastic metal or ceramic. Circles are positioned to the rod′s shaft to control fishing line. In casting rods line guides are on top of the rod. They are smaller to reduce the play in the line and allow for easier casting and quicker retrieve. Spinning rods place the line guides on the rod′s bottom. These guides get larger toward the base of the rod. The number of line guides is determined by the rod′s length as well as by the quality of the rod.

The length of a fishing rod typically ranges from 6 to 12 feet. The length of your rod largely depends on the type of fishing you plan to do the species you′re after and your fishing environment. Also consider your own angling experience and strength level. A beginner should start with a rod short enough to help with control and the development of technique but long enough to provide a good casting distance (8 to 9 feet long). Small children need a shorter rod because of their height. In wooded areas or those with surrounding brush choose a shorter rod. In wide open spaces where you would be most likely to fly fish choose a longer rod. To catch larger more aggressive fish you will need a stronger shorter rod.

If you want to make the best out of your fishing experience you should add a few things to your must-have list. For instance it doesn′t hurt to have some sunblock and a pair of fishing gloves since you will spend quite some time out in the open fishing for bass.

Make sure that you go on any fishing trip well prepared. Equip yourself and your tackle box with all the necessary items for a successful adventure. Bass may not be very stubborn or particularly challenging fish to catch but still they can present certain quirks that it is best for you to know about.

A good idea would be to start with a good kit. Depending on what type of lures you intend to use your choices for rod and reel as well as line will be influenced. A medium size rod with medium action reel and 10-pound monofilament for your choice of the line are quite excellent choices. While these things do not seem to trigger a lot of debate in anglers in regards to what works and what doesn′t when it comes to bass fishing the topic of lures is much more arduous and passionate.
