“From Fishing Pole to Casting Rod”

If people think of a fisher in their minds, they see a person with a pole and line watching a float that will tell them that they have hooked a fish.

This rig is one of the oldest in the history of fishing and is still used by many fishers afloat and ashore.

However, a person can cover only a small area of water because of the shortness of the line (above the length of the pole). This makes the fisher wait for the fish to find their bait.

The rods and reels in use today were made to cast baits or lures to spots farther away — and more of them. Fishers can now fish more water and bring bait to the fish.

While many fish will be caught with worms, minnows, frogs, and other live baits, many more will be caught on human-made bits or lures.

Indeed, most fishes feel these lures add to their sport because they are fooling the fish into biting rather than tempting them with food.

Today ‘s rods and reels of many types can be used to fish all kinds of lures. The way of fishing — casting, spinning, spin-casting, fly casting — is each person ‘s choice. Where you fish and what you hope to catch can be factors in your choice.
