Integrated rod

Definition of Integrated rod

The Integrated rod is a fishing rod between a crucian carp rod and a carp rod. It has the advantages of both and is suitable for a variety of fishing scenarios.

Characteristics of Integrated rods

Wide applicability: The original design intention of the Integrated rod is to take into account a variety of fish conditions and fishing environments, so it has a wide range of applicability. Whether it's fishing small fish such as crucian carp and white strips, or fishing big fish such as carp and grass carp, the Integrated rod can be competent. The fishing rod has a wide application range, so that fishing friends do not need to change the fishing rod frequently when facing different fishing scenes, and the convenience and efficiency of fishing are improved.

Performance balance: The Integrated rod strives to achieve a balanced state in terms of hardness, waist strength and elasticity. It is not too soft as crucian carp rod, resulting in a lack of fish control ability when catching big fish; It is also not too stiff as a carp rod, which makes it feel poor when fishing small fish. The Integrated rod finds a balance between hardness and waist strength, so that it can perform well when fishing fish of different sizes.

Feel comfortable: The design of the Integrated rod pays attention to the comfort of the hand feel. It is usually made of lightweight materials, which reduces the weight of the fishing rod, so that you won't feel fatigue when holding the rod for a long time. At the same time, the grip part of the fishing rod is also carefully designed to conform to ergonomic principles, providing a good grip and anti-slip performance.

Moderate tonality: The tonality of the Integrated rod is generally between 28 and 37. This tonality makes the fishing rod have a good performance in throwing and fish control. It can not only throw the hook out quickly, but also provide enough waist force and elasticity after the fish is hooked to control the struggle of the fish and avoid the situation of line breaking or unhooking.

Moderately priced: Compared with some professional-grade or high-end fishing rods, the price of Integrated rods is usually more moderate. This makes fishing affordable and enjoyable for more fishing friends. Of course, the prices of Integrated rods of different brands and models will also vary. Fishing friends can choose the right fishing rod according to their own budget and needs.

Whether you are fishing in lakes, rivers, reservoirs or seaside, whether you are fishing for small or large fish, the integrated rod offers relatively appropriate performance and performance. This wide applicability eliminates the need for fishing friends to frequently change fishing rods according to different fishing environments, thereby improving the convenience and efficiency of fishing.

Performance balance: The Integrated rod has been carefully designed in terms of hardness, waist strength, elasticity, etc. to achieve a relatively balanced state. This balance enables the Integrated rod to provide enough hand feel when fishing small fish, so that fishermen can clearly feel the biting and struggle of the fish; When catching big fish, the Integrated rod can show enough strength and waist strength to help fishermen better control the struggle of the fish and avoid line breakage or decoupling.

Highly cost-effective: Compared with some professional-grade or high-end fishing rods, the price of Integrated rods is usually more affordable. This makes fishing affordable and enjoyable for more fishing friends. At the same time, the performance of the Integrated rod is enough to meet the needs of most fishing friends, and there is no need to spend too high a price in pursuit of ultimate performance.

Easy to get started: The design of Integrated rods usually focuses on user experience and convenience of operation. Whether it is the comfort of the grip, the lightweight of the fishing rod or the moderate tonality, it makes the Integrated rod relatively easy to use. For beginners, Integrated rods can help them master fishing skills faster and improve the success rate of fishing; For fishing friends with certain experience, Integrated rods can make it easier for them to cope with various fishing challenges.

Versatility: The Integrated rod can not only be used for traditional platform fishing, but can also be modified or matched with different accessories according to different fishing methods and needs. For example, it can be matched with sub-lines, floats, hooks, etc. of different lengths to adapt to different fish and water conditions. This versatility makes the Integrated rod more flexible and changeable in the fishing process, and can meet the different fishing needs and creativity of fishing friends.

Maintenance of Integrated rods

The maintenance of Integrated rod is an important link to ensure its stable performance and prolong its service life.

1.Clean after use

Wipe the surface: After each fishing, water stains, sediment and stains on the surface of the fishing rod should be wiped promptly with a moist soft cloth or towel. Pay special attention to cleaning areas where dirt is easy to accumulate, such as guide rings and wheel seats.

Flush the inner cavity: If the fishing rod accidentally gets into water during use, or fish with sediment is caught, the rod should be removed in time and the inner cavity should be flushed section by section to ensure that the inside is clean and free of foreign matter.

2.Storage method

VENTILATION AND DRY: The fishing rod should be stored in a ventilated and dry place, avoiding direct sunlight and humid environment. Prolonged exposure to humidity can easily lead to corrosion, deformation, and cracking of fishing rods.

Place vertically: The fishing rod should be placed vertically and avoid bending or folding for a long time to reduce damage to the fishing rod.

Storage Packaging: It is best to put the fishing rod in a dedicated storage bag or rod bag to protect the fishing rod from bumps and scratches.

3.Regular inspection and maintenance

Check the guide ring: Regularly check whether the guide ring is worn, loose or damaged, and replace or repair it in time if found.

Check the rod joint interface: Check whether the rod joint interface is tight and not loose, and ensure that the fishing rod will not be disjointed during use.

Oiling maintenance: In order to maintain the smoothness and waterproofness of the fishing rod, you can regularly apply a proper amount of lubricant such as rod protection oil or petroleum jelly to the surface of the fishing rod. But be careful not to use it excessively, so as not to affect the feel and performance of the fishing rod.

Purchase of Integrated rods

When purchasing a Integrated rod, you need to consider multiple factors to ensure that you choose the product that best suits your needs.

1.Where to fish and what to expect

Fishing locations: Different waters and fish species require different types of fishing rods. For example, in a stream or river, you can choose a lighter Integrated rod; Whereas in lakes or large reservoirs, longer and stronger rods may be needed to cope with large fish.

Fishing expectations: If you expect to catch mostly small fish, you can choose a shorter, flexible fishing rod; If it is desired to catch large fish, a more robust and stiffer fishing rod is needed.

2.Material and Process

Material: In the current market, carbon rods are popular because of their light weight, good elasticity and high strength. It is recommended to choose high tonnage carbon rods to ensure their strength and sensitivity. Additionally, fiberglass rods are also an option, but their weight and performance may be slightly inferior to carbon rods.

Process: Pay attention to the manufacturing process of the fishing rod, such as whether the rod wall is uniform, whether the cut surface is neat, etc., which will affect the overall performance and service life of the fishing rod.

3.Length and tonality

Length: The length of Integrated rods is divided into standard length and non-standard length. Standard lengths such as 3.6 meters, 4.5 meters, and 5.4 meters are more common. When choosing the length, factors such as fishing method, fish conditions, water conditions and fishing ground should be considered. For example, when fishing in small waters such as streams, it is recommended to choose a shorter fishing rod; Fishing in large waters such as lakes and reservoirs may require longer fishing rods.

Tonality: Tonality refers to the degree of bending of the fishing rod when it is stressed. Common ones include 19 tones, 28 tones, 37 tones, etc. Hard-adjusted (such as 19-adjusted) fishing rod controls fish quickly and feels good, but it is easy to damage the fishing line; Medium and hard adjustment (such as 28 adjustment) fishing rods take into account both sensitivity and durability.

4.Brand and Price

Brand: Well-known brands usually have better production processes, material quality and technical support, and also have better after-sales service. When the budget allows, choosing products from well-known brands often leads to a better experience.

Price: Price is also an important factor to consider when purchasing. The prices of fishing rods of different brands, materials and processes vary greatly. It is recommended to choose the right fishing rod according to your budget and needs.
