Here we have custom-made rods for the super hot vertical fishing for zander, or char - or why not pike or perch? These vertical rods are selected with love & expertise.
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.
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.
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.
Vertical jigging rods are developed for the very exciting technique of vertical fishing targeting species like mainly zander, char, pike, and perch. In vertical fishing, you do not cast the lure but rather drop it straight down from the boat. Even though it is possible to vertical fish from, for example, docks, a boat is more or less a prerequisite for effective vertical fishing. Using a fishfinder will also make your vertical fishing much more effective as you can directly target the fish.
Choosing the Right Vertical Jigging Rod
Vertical jigging rods are usually between 6-7' long and should have a tip action with a lot of backbone. With a sensitive rod tip, you can see and feel the slightest nibble on the bait while the backbone allows you to hook the fish properly. Since this fishing is often done for zander and not infrequently over quite deep waters, it is important that the rod can handle strong strikes as zander are known for their hard mouths. Since you do not cast the lures in vertical fishing, the casting weight is not crucial when it comes to choosing a rod. However, it should be seen as an indication of which lures suit the rod best. Many also prefer to use quite heavy jig heads to quickly get the jig to the desired depth, something that is good to consider when choosing a rod.
