The
rod
has
three
main
parts;
It
has
a
grip
or
handle,
which
is
made
of
high-‐quality
cork
or
foam
and
is
made
to
fit
comfortably
in
your
hand.
It
has
several
small
metal
rings,
called
ferrules,
are
attached
to
the
rod
from
the
handle
to
the
tip,
including
one
on
the
very
tip
of
the
rod.
These
ferrules
serve
as
guides
for
the
fishing
line.
They
help
the
line
flow
smoothly
when
the
angler
casts
and
retrieves,
and
the
last
guide
helps
control
the
direction
of
casts.
Rods
also
have
a
reel
seat
that
secures
the
reel
onto
the
rod
near
the
grip.
The
rod’s
job
is
to
take
tension
off
the
line.
When
fighting
a
fish,
you
want
the
rod
to
partially
bend,
so
it’ll
take
some
of
the
tension
off
the
line.
This
is
good,
because
if
there
was
no
transfer
of
tension,
the
line
would
break.
The
flex
of
the
rod
is
important

Spoons
Imitates
small
fish
and
is
often
fished
near
the
top
and
sometimes
allowed
to
sink.
This
is
a
great
lure
to
cast
but
requires
quick
reeling
to
enable
the
action
that
comes
with
it
as
it
twists
and
turns
through
the
water.
These
are
easy
to
cast
far
and
can
cover
much
area.
Jigs
Imitates
a
small
worm,
leech,
or
sometimes
a
minnow.
It
is
generally
used
with
spin
casting,
allowed
to
sink
near
the
bottom
or
along
weed
beds,
and
then
it
is
retrieved
in
a
bobbing
sporadic
motion
as
if
to
bob
along
the
bottom.
These
are
difficult
to
fish
with
as
there
is
a
likelihood
of
getting
snagged.
Spinners
Imitates
small
fish
or
critters
under
the
water
as
they
swim
or
move
about.
The
spinner
is
a
great
attractant
and
the
movement
brings
curious
fish
in
to
see
if
it
is
a
quick
meal.
It
is
used
with
spin
casting
and
needs
to
be
reeled
in
and
kept
off
the
bottom.
Tied
Flies
Imitates
small
bugs
in
or
on
top
of
the
water.
Used
with
either
a
fly
rod
or
a
spin
cast
with
a
bubble.
They
are
often
casted
into
position
and
then
slowly
moved
in
to
represent
the
motion
of
the
bug
swimming
or
struggling
on
top
of
the
water.
