This article will teach people about the different types of equipment they can use for fishing.
Fishing rods
Fishing rods are used to cast your line into the water to try and catch fish. They vary in length, weight, and material (commonly graphite or bamboo). The type you buy depends on your preference. Long rods are typically more accurate but harder to hold than shorter ones. Short rods usually have less accuracy but make it easier to reel in the line when a fish is caught (thus preventing them from breaking away).
