It is possible, but it is more difficult.
The following introduces the identification method of lure rods
Everyone is now very interested in lure fishing methods, but lure rods are a new thing. How to choose and identify a lure? The quality of the rod is particularly important. I will share my experience with you below: 1. Overall fishing performance and feel
Lure rods are different from rods that use floats. They rely entirely on controlling the lure to catch fish. Therefore, the sensitivity, toughness and overall quality of the rod are Coordination is very important.
Specific judgment method: Hold the pole with your right hand, press your elbow down, and let the elbow joint be close to the bottom of the pole. For lightly adjusting the pole below 10-30g, open the tiger's mouth, extend the index finger, and rest it on the pole. On the pole body, let the elbows, hands and pole be integrated. Then, without moving the elbow joint, shake the forearm and wrist up and down. The angle should not exceed 45 degrees. Feel the rebound of the pole during the shaking process, the position of the bending point, and the strength of the bottom handle relative to the middle and front part.
Be careful to shake up and down, not horizontally or in other directions. Just like you lift the tip of the pole and then quickly use the tip of the pole to shock the object in front, let the hand and the pole move at the same time. When the pole moves to a horizontal position, stop the arm hard and keep the forearm horizontal. The pole will continue to move due to inertia. Bend downwards, from which you can see the location of the bending point and the rebound energy.
Regarding the position of the bending point, the famous fishing properties often found on poles abroad are: S, F, etc. S (Slow) stands for slow tuning, and the specific manifestation is that the bending point is farther back. This kind of rod mainly uses the whole body and the middle and rear parts, so that you can fully enjoy the pleasure of fishing. The overall feeling of the rod is very soft. (But if the design is not good, your waist will feel weak and your head will feel heavy). F (fast) is quick to adjust, the bending point is forward, and the middle and rear parts are much stronger than the front tip, which is a bit similar to a fighting rod.
No matter what the fishing characteristics are, a good pole should have the following characteristics: the center of gravity is at the back, it feels comfortable in the hand, and the curve is smooth. When the pole shakes downward, there should only be an arc. (If you try it with a pole above 6.3 meters, you will find that the front end fluctuates, the middle becomes the fulcrum, does not move much, and the back end also fluctuates slightly) If this phenomenon occurs on the lure rod, it is recommended that you do not buy it.
Resilience is limited by the design of the pole, and its production involves many steps. It is a reflection of the mechanical properties of the pole. A good lure rod has excellent resilience and can maintain enough "waist strength" after hitting the fish so as not to consume too much physical energy during walking the fish. It can also increase the speed of fishing, which is very useful for sea fishing when encountering migratory fish schools. Big help.
How to test the resilience: Hold the front and back handles of the handle with both hands, swing the rod body from diagonally upward to diagonally downward, and then stop suddenly with your hands. At this time, the rod then bends and rebounds immediately. Vibrate back and forth a few times and then stop. The faster the rebound and the fewer vibrations, the better the resilience. After swinging the pole for a long time, you will have a feeling. At this time, the rebound feels good, as if the pole is full of power, the waist and back are tightened, the tip is bent, and the tip is immediately pulled back. This requires long-term practice to find the feeling.
2. Accessories
The main accessories of the lure rod include line loops (referred to as guide eyes), pulley seats, handles, tail pieces, decorative rings, hooks, etc.
1. Line loop: Commonly used types include single leg and double leg. Single legs are often used for straight-handle light-tune and straight-handle mid-tune lure rods
These line loops are composed of 2 parts: the bracket and the porcelain ring. The outermost metal part is called the bracket. The bracket is stamped from a whole stainless steel plate and then flanged in a mold. Since the lure rod has to withstand corrosion from sea water and salt spray, the line loop bracket must be made of corrosion-resistant stainless steel. The innermost ring is called the "porcelain ring". There are probably two reasons why it is called this:
(1) The earliest porcelain rings were ordinary ceramics.
(2) Most of them are still ceramic compounds, including the "SIC" silicon carbide ceramic ring to be mentioned later.
The classification of wire loops is based on the shape of the bracket, the type of the porcelain ring, and the outer diameter of the porcelain ring. Moreover, each manufacturer has different naming methods, resulting in the same product having various names. Sample.
Non-industry personnel cannot tell the difference.
The classification of porcelain rings is relatively standard and is almost the same in every factory.
"SIC" porcelain rings are a new material developed by Fujifilm in Japan: "silicon carbide reinforced ceramics". Compared with the previous generation of "alumina reinforced ceramics", it has four advantages: higher hardness; lighter weight; better heat dissipation and lower friction coefficient. Therefore, it is very popular and widely used in high-end poles.
The criteria for judging the quality of wire loops are:
(1) The strength of the bracket material and the anti-corrosion and weather resistance after surface treatment of the bracket. I once made a comparison with a single-leg wire loop. The result is that the strength of a domestic bracket is weaker than the Fuji bracket, so it will be affected to a certain extent when catching fish.
(2) Models of porcelain rings. Currently, there are 4 channels for factories in Weihai to use porcelain rings: Suzhou, South Korea, and Japan (usually the entire finished wire ring is imported), and a small amount is made locally in Weihai. How big is the quality difference between them? No one or authoritative organization can comment, so everyone decides which material to use based on the price of the pole.
Lure rods are divided into two types: straight handle and gun handle. The difference in the line loop is: the straight handle generally uses a single-leg guide ring, the total quantity is small, and the size is relatively large; the gun handle uses both It is a guide ring for both legs, with a large number and a relatively small size. This is due to the difference in their use: the straight handle lure rod is used with the guide ring downward, while the gun handle lure rod is used with the guide ring facing upward (equipped with a drum wheel). If the number of guide rings is small, it will be used as a rod. When bent, the tight fishing line will rub against the rod, affecting its use.
2. Wheel seat
The function of the wheel seat is to fix the fishing reel, which is mainly divided into two categories: tubular and plate-shaped. Among them, tubular ones are divided into two categories: straight handles and gun handles. There are many sub-categories below, and there are fewer plate-shaped ones. Commonly used lure rods include:
The main materials for making tubular wheel seats include ABS plastic, nylon, aluminum alloy, etc. Prices also increased sequentially. Many wheel bases produced by informal manufacturers have the biggest flaw: the slot is too small, so the fishing wheel cannot be installed! This situation mainly occurs on poles with relatively small tonality, and I have encountered it several times. Therefore, when you buy a lure rod, it is best to experiment with a fishing reel.
Plate wheel seats are basically useless in China, but they are available abroad.
Methods to judge the quality of tubular wheel seats:
(1) First look at the appearance, whether there are defects, spurs, burrs, the smoothness of the flat surface, and the flatness. Because the tubular wheel seat is an injection molded part, the product has mold gaps, gates and ejector openings. The quality of these parts reflects the quality and manufacturing level of the mold. Once there are defects, the mold must be modified.
(2) Look at the feel: Turn the nut by hand and feel the resistance. The smaller the resistance, the more uniform it is, and the better the quality. Many wheel seat nuts of poor quality have different resistance in different parts, and they feel "sometimes loose and sometimes tight".
(3) There is also a groove on the threaded part on the back of the wheel base, which is used to prevent the clamp from dislocating. Hold the clamp connected to the nut tightly with your hand and turn it. If the clamp If it rotates and breaks away from the groove, the quality will not pass.
The main purchase channels for wheel bases in Weihai area include: local factories, Taiwan-funded enterprises in the south, South Korea, and Fuji from Japan. Price and quality have also increased in sequence. Japanese Fuji accessories are generally used on high-end poles.
3. Workmanship
Rods with the same tonality, weight, and specifications have different prices due to different workmanship, sometimes even several times more than the cost of the rod itself! This is true of all rods. Therefore, when you see that the parameters are almost the same and the prices are very different, don't feel that you don't understand.
I think there are the following points to judge the workmanship of a lure rod:
1. The straightness of the material.
Lure rods are generally relatively long, with some single sections reaching 2.4 meters in length, which makes material production extremely difficult! Since making materials is a physical/chemical reaction process, accompanied by changes in temperature and internal stress, it is almost impossible to ensure that the materials are straight.
When selecting a lure rod, insert the rod, align the guide ring, hold the rod with both hands, place it on your chest, raise the tip of the rod slightly, look for a white or gray background to avoid interference, concentrate, and stare at the tip of the rod ( Generally, the tip is easier to bend) and you can see the bend. Sometimes rotating the rod reveals more bend. Obviously bending is not necessary, but it is impossible not to have it at all (you can ask for this for about 2,000 yuan or more). This cannot be quantified, it all depends on your own feeling.
2. The "spine" of the material, especially the gun handle, must be inspected
You may be wondering: How can the material have a "spine"? The English name of the "spine" mentioned here is "SPAN", which refers to a relatively rigid area in the longitudinal direction of the material. It is like attaching a 1mm thick and 2mm wide steel bar to a 2mm wall thickness steel pipe along the longitudinal direction, and using welding and other methods to tightly combine the steel bar with the steel pipe. Then when bending the steel pipe in the future, this direction will be more difficult than other directions. bending.
Theoretically, all materials have a "spine", but the degree is different. We often see the promotion of "uniform wall thickness", which is to avoid "spine". The density difference of fiber arrangement will also cause "spine".
How to check the "spine": Insert the pole, align the guide ring, hold the pole with your left hand about 1 meter away from the top, gently place the index finger of your right hand on the thinnest end of the pole, and then slowly press down , let the rod bend. When your fingers feel stronger, stop pressing down and slowly rotate the rod body back and forth with your left hand. You will feel that the tension is high at certain angles and low at other angles. This way the "spine" can be found.
For a straight-handled rod, the "spine" should be on top (the back of the guide ring), and just the opposite for a gun-handled rod. If you don't find the right "spine" when tying the guide ring or you don't find the "spine" at all, then when force is applied, the rod body will twist, seriously affecting its use!
3. Guide ring straightness
Lure rods have a large number of guide rings and the rod body is thin, so aligning the guide rings has become a technical problem. Generally speaking, factories with a long history of manufacturing lure rods and rich experience are better, while new factories are relatively worse. The identification method is the same as the previous identification of material straightness, so I will not repeat it.
4. Guide ring binding and painting quality
In the earliest fiberglass rods, after the wires were tied, the guide ring was first straightened, and then the burrs were burned with an alcohol lamp and primer was applied. , apply UV paint. The so-called UV paint is a photosensitive paint that solidifies quickly under ultraviolet irradiation. The advantages of UV paint are fast working efficiency and high brightness. But it has the biggest disadvantages: poor toughness, low strength, and poor adhesion. When subjected to strong force, it will burst.
Later, epoxy resin (thick paint) was gradually used instead of UV paint. The advantages of epoxy resin (thick paint) are: high strength, strong adhesion, high surface fullness, good feel and appearance. However, the efficiency of epoxy resin (thick paint) is lower than that of UV paint, and it requires a certain curing temperature and has certain requirements for the cleanliness of the operating environment. Therefore, there are still many small factories and low-end rods that still use UV paint.
What needs to be reminded is that in order to ensure long-term use, please be sure to choose a pole made of epoxy resin (thick paint) (except of course if you want to remove the guide ring for DIY)
How to judge UV paint and epoxy resin (thick paint):
1. According to the difference in adhesion, use your fingers to pull the guide ring bracket vigorously to clearly see the large recoverable Deformation shall prevail. If it is UV paint, you can hear a slight "pop" crackling sound, and you will see delamination, peeling, and whitening of the UV paint at the root of the guide ring bracket.
2. Use a hard object (nail, key, etc.) to lightly press it in an inconspicuous position. If it is UV paint, it will layer with the bottom layer like thin ice, while epoxy resin (thick paint) There will be no delamination, there will be an indentation that will disappear after a while.
The quality requirements for tying and painting mainly include the following points:
1. The tying must be dense and not exposed.
2. The starting and ending edges should be even.
3. The thickness of the paint should be even, the edges should not be too long, and the edges should be even.
4. The painted surface should be free of bubbles, burrs, protrusions, foreign matter, etc.
5. The line shape should be full and beautiful, and there should be no grooves, hanging, etc.
The above is easy to say, but it is very, very difficult to do it all impeccably. Including Japanese S, D, G and other brands, there is no guarantee that all of them will be in place. Because these are manual operations rather than mechanized production.
4. Finally, let’s talk about the handle:
The main materials for the handle are EVA and cork. Since more than 85% of the world's cork materials for fishing rods are imported from Portugal, cork resources are in short supply and expensive. Cork 2 is divided into pure natural cork, packaged cork, compressed cork, rubber cork, etc.; pure natural cork is divided according to surface quality: C grade, B grade, A grade, A A grade, AA A grade, cork wrapped sub-package EVA, compressed cork, etc.
So how do ordinary consumers tell the difference?
Cork and EVA are clearly distinguishable. Their appearance and hardness are very different, and everyone can identify them. In order to make the most of the feel and appearance of natural cork, manufacturers have come up with the method of "cork wrapping": the outside is pure cork skin, but the inside is made of EVA, compressed cork and other materials, and they are bonded together through a certain process. Although this method solves the dilemma of cost and appearance, it is never used for high-end rods. But how to distinguish pure natural cork from clad cork? If the cork is wrapped with EVA, you can use the thumbs of both hands to overlap and press hard. If you can feel obvious elastic deformation, it is wrapped with EVA. If you can hardly feel the elastic deformation, it is not wrapped with EVA. Compressed cork refers to a mixture of small cork particles and special waterproof glue, and is pressed at high temperature. The hardness is slightly lower than that of pure cork, but the price is much more affordable. It is sometimes used on medium and low-end poles, and is often used to decorate the front seal with pure cork. Or decorate and seal. If it is packed with compressed cork, it is basically impossible for ordinary consumers to identify it unless the surface is cut.
That’s basically all the accessories. The rest of the hooks, tail pieces, decorative rings, etc. can be judged by their appearance, so I won’t go into details.
In short, a pole involves many aspects. When purchasing, you must decide which aspects are primary and which are secondary based on your actual needs. For ordinary consumers, tonality and feel come first, and the quality of accessories comes second, followed by topcoat, workmanship, etc.
But for high-priced poles, the situation should probably be reversed. Because big brands have good design capabilities, they probably will not bring products with wrong tonality and bad feel to the market, even if the tonality and feel are not good. Each brand is different, but the difference is so subtle that most people can't feel it.
