New fishing rods and combos are introduced each year for specific lures and techniques used to catch fish. Many lures have specialised rods that improve lure action and have a greater appeal to the fish. This is great news for anglers, as there are a myriad of options for your favourite lures and fishing techniques.

Rod materials come in two main choices: fibreglass and graphite. Fibreglass is noted for soft actions and toughness, while graphite is stiff, strong, and lightweight. Graphite is common for popular freshwater species such as bass, walleye, and panfish. This sensitive material allows for easy detection of light strikes.

Meanwhile, many anglers prefer fibreglass rods where slow or medium action is required. This material has more give in the tip of the rod so the lure has a better chance of being eaten by the fish.

Another popular choice is composite rods of fibreglass and graphite, combining the best of both worlds.

Whether you choose a good old-fashioned cork or EVA (Ethylene-vinyl acetate) handle, the decision simply comes down to personal preference. Cork is comfortable and lightweight, with sufficient grip even when wet. It easily transmits the delicate vibrations of a stealthy fish picking up your bait or lure. EVA is a foam material that has a high crack and abrasion resistance. Foam is much lighter, stronger, retains its shape and is cheaper to make.
