Rod length
Rod length grouped in feet + cm.
Are you a beginner and need guidance?
For regular fishing with a casting rod, you can easily group the lengths like this:

5-6 feet - Children/juniors
6-7 feet - Easy to handle - Perfect for boats.
7-9 feet - Most popular, especially for fishing from shore.
9+ feet - Coastal fishing and river fishing, etc.
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.
Rod type

Refers to which type of rod this product pairs with. The most common rod types are spinning rods and casting rods. Casting rods pair with trolling reels, saltwater reels, low-profile reels, and baitcasting reels. Spinning rods pair with spinning reels.
Number of sections

Refers to how many parts the rod consists of. The more parts, the easier the rod is to transport.
Gear ratio grouping

What is gear ratio?
The term gear ratio, or 'gear ratio' in English, is a value that indicates how many turns the reel’s spool makes per crank. A normal gear ratio is around 5.0:1 and up, meaning the spool rotates five times per crank. A high gear ratio, 'high speed,' is typically around 6.5:1, meaning 6.5 rotations per crank. Such a reel can be useful, for example, when fishing for sea trout on the coast, as trout often like a bit of speed on the lure.

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.
Max drag capacity grouping

Refers to how many kilos the reel can brake. The more kilos the reel can handle, the more powerful the drag. Many spinning reels have a braking strength up to 5 kilos, and that’s sufficient for fishing with standard lures (around 10-30 grams) and fighting our most common freshwater fish. However, when casting really heavy lures, like in heavier pike fishing, you want the reel to handle at least 10 kilos of braking strength. Saltwater anglers and extreme fishermen targeting the largest species require a really powerful drag that can withstand all the stresses fishing entails. A super-strong drag with over 20 kilos of braking force is not uncommon in this genre.

Sea Trout Fishing – An Exciting Challenge Along the Coast

Sea trout fishing is a thrilling and rewarding angling method that targets one of the most sought-after game fish in coastal waters. These strong and elusive fish require the right strategy, equipment, and timing to catch successfully.

Fishing for sea trout is typically done in shallow coastal areas, estuaries, and fjords where the fish hunt for baitfish. The best seasons are early spring and autumn when the water temperature is optimal, and the sea trout are actively feeding close to shore.

Techniques for Sea Trout Fishing

There are two main techniques for sea trout fishing: spin fishing and fly fishing. Spin fishing is the most common method, using lightweight rods and long-casting lures such as spoons, wobblers, or soft plastics that imitate small fish. Fly fishing is another highly effective approach, with streamers and shrimp imitations being popular choices.

Successful sea trout fishing requires patience and movement—constantly casting and covering new areas improves the chances of finding active fish. Fishing during overcast days with some wind can also increase the likelihood of bites, as sea trout are less wary in such conditions.

Essential Gear for Sea Trout Fishing

  • A spinning rod around 9-10 feet with a medium-light action for long and precise casts.
  • A reel in size 2500-3000, spooled with a thin braided line for sensitivity and long-distance casting.
  • Lures such as spoons, wobblers, and soft baits that mimic the sea trout’s natural prey.
  • A fluorocarbon leader to reduce visibility in clear water and prevent line breaks.
  • For fly fishing, a #6-7 weight rod with floating or intermediate fly lines is ideal.

Sea trout fishing is both challenging and rewarding, requiring skill, patience, and the right conditions. Whether you prefer spin fishing or fly fishing, the excitement of hooking a powerful sea trout in coastal waters makes this method a favorite among anglers.
