In this episode, we sit down with Josh Cooper from Okuma Fishing to go deep on one of the most important pieces of equipment in fishing: the rod.
We break down what anglers should actually understand about rod power, action, length, line type, components, and how all of those things affect the way a rod fishes.
Josh walks us through choosing rods for salmon and steelhead, including float fishing, drift fishing, spinners, spoons, trolling, and bobber fishing. We also get into the differences between inexpensive and higher end rods, balancing your rod and reel setup, what goes into designing and testing a fishing rod, and what anglers should look for when buying their next setup.
Whether you are trying to understand rod actions, build a better salmon or steelhead setup, or just want to know what actually makes one fishing rod different from another, this episode is packed with useful information.
If you love fishing gear and want to better understand the equipment you use every time you hit the water, this one is for you.
