With a casting rod, you fish using a multiplier reel or an enclosed reel. The reel is mounted on top of the rod, and a trigger on the underside of the reel seat provides better stability and grip during fishing. Casting rods are especially popular for heavier fishing, like pike, but have recently gained popularity for lighter fishing too. The casting weight of the rod determines which type of fishing it’s suited for.

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.
