Casting weight range
By casting weight range, we mean the lure weights a rod is designed to handle. Example: If a rod’s casting weight is 7 to 15 grams, it’s built to cast lures between 7 and 15 grams, such as a 10-gram spinner.
10-40 g
Rod length in cm
Refers to the rod’s length in centimeters (cm).
198 cm
Rod length in feet/inches
Refers to the rod’s length in feet and inches. 1 foot (') = 30.48 centimeters. One inch (') = 2.54 centimeters
6'6"
Rod length when transported
Refers to how many centimeters long the disassembled rod is. This can be good to know if you’re traveling or packing it into a motorcycle bag.
104 cm
Number of sections
Refers to how many parts the rod consists of. The more parts, the easier the rod is to transport.

Rod action
Are you a beginner looking for a new rod? Check out the rods in the Medium and Medium-Fast categories. These rods bend a bit more than the so-called 'fast' rods, which simplifies both casting and fighting ability if a fish bites.
More about rod actions Action is a term for how the blank bends when pressure is applied to the tip and is described in English as follows:
Extra Fast (Ultra Fast): means the tip bends much more easily than the rest of the blank, which is relatively stiff.
Fast: bends just over a third of the blank.
Medium-Fast: bends about half of the blank.
Medium (Moderate): bends about 3/4 of the blank.
Slow: describes a parabolic bend of almost the entire blank.
Common simplified Swedish terms to describe action are tip-, half-, and full-action.
Different actions suit different fishing. 'Extra Fast' and 'Fast' provide more feel to the lure and faster hooksets, but the stiff blank reduces fighting ability and doesn’t offer the same 'slingshot effect' on casts as 'Medium' and 'Slow' actions.
Fast
Handle type
Refers to the material the rod’s handle is made of. Cork and EVA (foam) are the most common types.

Gear ratio
What is gear ratio? The term gear ratio, or 'gear ratio' in English, is a value that indicates how many laps around the reel’s spool the line goes per crank. A normal gear ratio is around 5.0:1 and up, meaning the spool rotates five times per crank. A fast gear ratio (high speed) is typically around 6.5:1, meaning 6.5 spool rotations per crank. Such a reel can be great when fishing for sea trout on the coast, as trout often like a bit of speed on the lure. In modern spin fishing, there are also reels with super-fast gear ratios, over 7.5 spool rotations per crank, used with certain lures that benefit from being fished very quickly.
Are you a beginner and want better control over the lure you’ve cast? Use a reel with a slightly lower gear ratio, around 5.0:1.
6.4:1
Line retrieved per crank
Refers to how many centimeters of line are wound onto the spool per crank. The higher the gear ratio on the reel, the faster you retrieve the line.
N A
Reel handle side
This indicates which side of the reel the handle is on.
Left
Reel size
This indicates the size class of the reel. The size is specified differently depending on the type of reel, and you can read more about how they’re classified under Frequently Asked Questions in each reel’s category.

Line capacity (diameter - length)
Refers to how many meters of line of a certain diameter (mm) the spool can hold.
0.290 mm x 135 m
Spool material
Refers to the material the spool itself is made of.
Graphite
Max drag capacity
The maximum number of kilos the reel can brake. The more kilos the reel can handle, the more powerful the drag. When casting heavy lures, like in heavier pike fishing, you want the reel to handle at least 10 kilos of braking strength.
