The Fladen Warbird Boat 195 sea fishing set includes a two-piece boat rod in composite fiber that is 6'5" long and with a weight class of 15-30 lb, suitable for normal jigging and bottom fishing. The rod has a crossbutt with a rubberized tip. Also included in the kit is a Warbird GTC20 multiplier reel with a graphite body, 3+1 ball bearings, line guide, instant anti-reverse, and a T-shaped knob on the handle. The reel is traditionally right-handed with a gear ratio of 4.1:1, providing a lot of power during retrieval. The reel comes with spooled 20 lb nylon line.

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.
Cod, Coalfish
Family
Refers to which product family the product belongs to. In many cases, there are matching reels and rods within the same product family. These items are designed to work together.
Refers to which type of fishing the product is intended for.
Example: A spinning reel is intended for the spin fishing method.
Deep sea fishing
Suitable line
Refers to which line is primarily suited to the product. The most common types of lines are braided lines and monofilament lines.
Braided, Mono
Line included
Whether the reel comes with pre-spooled line or not. If the line is included, just unpack your gear and start fishing!
Mono
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.
Sea fishing rod
Weight in g
Rulle: 180 g
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.
Applied in weight class
Rod length in cm
Refers to the rod’s length in centimeters (cm).
195 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
6'5"
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.
103 cm
Number of sections
Refers to how many parts the rod consists of. The more parts, the easier the rod is to transport.
2 pcs
Weight class (lb)
The weight class refers to how powerful the rod is. The more pounds (lb) a rod is rated for, the stronger it is. A rod rated for 50 pounds (lb) can lift 22.7 kilos. 1 pound (lb) = 0.45359237 kg.
15-30 lb
Weight class (kg)
The weight class of a rod refers to how many kilos (kg) the rod can handle. The higher the number, the stronger the rod.
6.8-13.6 kg
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.
Progressiv
Handle type
Refers to the material the rod’s handle is made of. Cork and EVA (foam) are the most common types.

EVA
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.
4.1:1
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.
Right
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.
200
Line capacity (diameter - length)
Refers to how many meters of line of a certain diameter (mm) the spool can hold.
0.400 mm x 170 m
Spool material
Refers to the material the spool itself is made of.
Alloy
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.
N A
Type of ball bearing
Refers to the type of bearings the reel is equipped with. For example, stainless steel bearings.
Stainless steel
Number of ball bearings
Refers to how many ball bearings, needle bearings, and bushings are mounted in the reel.
