Fish species
Here, we’ve categorized the products based on which fish you want to hook. We’ve relied on what manufacturers specify, but also on experience of what usually works. The list could almost be endless, and many things work for more species than we’ve listed, so don’t be afraid to experiment.
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.
Max casting weight
Casting weights simply refer to the weight of the lure a rod is intended for. A rod with a casting weight of, for example, 10-30 grams is optimal for casting lures within that weight range. Exceeding it risks breaking the rod during casting, while using lighter lures makes casting difficult.
Brand
Suitable reel size
Here, we’ve marked which reel sizes are suitable for this specific rod. The type of reel to use with a rod depends on whether it’s a spinning, casting, saltwater, or similar rod, so if you’re unsure,feel free to double-check. That the same rod can have multiple reel sizes depends on the fishing style you’re pursuing.
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.
Handle type
Refers to the material the rod’s handle is made of. Cork and EVA (foam) are the most common types.

A telescopic rod or travel rod is the perfect choice for you if you want to easily stow your fishing rod in your luggage, or if you want to have a rod lying in the motorhome or boat so that you are always ready for a few casts when the opportunity arises. The advantage of these rods is obviously that they are very convenient to transport and take up minimal space when stored. Not least for the mountain angler, this type of fishing rod has become a favorite.
Choosing the Right Telescopic Rod
Just like with a regular spinning rod, it is the rod's casting weight and length that determine the field of use. For example, for mountain fishing, a rod around 7' and a casting weight of 5-15g is a good choice. If you want an all-around rod that works for a bit of everything, a rod around 8' and a casting weight of 10-30g is a spot-on choice.
Telescopic Rod or Travel Rod
The difference between a telescopic rod and a travel rod is how the different parts of the fishing rod attach to each other. A telescopic rod consists of a single part that you unfold. A travel rod, on the other hand, consists of several individual parts (often 4) that are assembled together. A telescopic rod is very quick and easy to unfold but a travel rod is generally more durable and provides a better feel during fishing.
