How to buy your first fishing rod (part one)
If you're new to the world of fishing and want to buy your first rod, then you may not know where to begin. That's where this article can help. I've compiled a list of 10 questions you should ask before making your purchase. Here are the first five. The next ones will follow soon...
1) What type of fishing will you be doing? This will have a big bearing on the rod you choose. For instance, sea fishing, trout fishing, salmon fishing and pike fishing all require a different kind of rod.
2) Will this be your primary rod? Some people have different rods for different purposes - such as catching a particular fish - so determine before you buy whether you require a specific or multi-purpose rod.
3) How often do you expect to go fishing? If you're going to be fishing a lot, you may require different equipment to if you're only likely to be going fishing once or twice a year.
4) Where will you be fishing from? In order to determine the length or the rod you want, you may want to think about where you intend to fish from. If you're wearing waders to fish standing in a river or if you're going to do it from sitting on the river bank, then you may require a shorter rod than if you're going to be fishing from the side of the lake. This will help avoid your rod or line getting caught on nearby branches.
5) Would you prefer a lighter or heavy rod? Depending on how often you fish and the type of fishing you'll be doing, you may want to choose between a lighter or heavier rod. Many anglers choose a heavier rod because they believe it gives them greater control.
Hopefully that has given you the basics for choosing your first rod. Whether you're looking for fly fishing rods, spinning rods or any other kind of fishing rods, do your homework first and make an informed decision.

Can sum1 recommend me a good rod spinning reel combo for bass?
Check out the Shakespeare Ugly Stick combination packages available from Walmart. It's a quality product at a reasonable price. The only problem right now is the season. They seem to be out of stock on all the most desirable packages right now. You'll probably have to give them another month or two to get the spring an summer products into the warehouses.
Good luck with your search..
If you use a spinning rod....
