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.
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.

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.

Line class (fly fishing)
The number on the line class determines the fly line’s weight, in other words, how powerful the fly rod you’re using is. That’s why the intended rod’s line class determines which line class you should choose for the rest of your gear, like the fly reel and line. A fly rod in line class 3 (#3) is a lighter rod for smaller waters and smaller fish. A fly rod in class 9 (#9) is a heavier rod designed to handle larger flies and bigger fish. When matching fly fishing gear, ensure the line, reel, and rod are of the same class. The best-selling fly fishing gear in Sweden is a 9-foot rod in class 5 with a class 5 floating line (WF) and a matching reel.
Class 8
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.

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.
Medium - Fast
Handle type
Refers to the material the rod’s handle is made of. Cork and EVA (foam) are the most common types.
