Fly-fishing rods bend
Choosing a fly fishing rod is a precarious task. Are you going to go with the image you have of yourself, the fishing climate you expect, or something different? While length is one element, the twist or activity of the rod is a key element.
Adaptability
Fly fishing rods are often characterized by their adaptability. In simple terms, adaptability involves the amount of rod twist when a similar casting effort is used.
Insignificant bend
A fly fishing rod with the least amount of bend is regularly referred to as a "fast" rod. The lack of a curve allows the angler to get a lot of speed on the cast. This speed allows you to cast accurately and farther than rods with more bends. While these advantages may seem extraordinary at first, a fast rod can be disappointing. There is no wiggle room when using the rod. Assuming you are using one of these rods, you want beautiful movement and timing. In most cases, only very involved anglers should try using the fast rods.
Moderate Curve
The next step down from a fast rod is unified with moderate adaptability. These rods will most often have high adaptability, but the curve is limited to the top of the rod. The rod requires less perfection in movement and timing, but is truly accurate. Assuming you've been trawling for a while and have mastered the fundamentals, a decently adaptable rod is worth a try.
Smooth Curve
If you're just getting into fly fishing, you need to use a rod with as much adaptability as possible. While others recommend a moderate curve for beginners, a "smooth twist" rod gives you plenty of room to learn to project.
Fly fishing is relaxing and enjoyable. Choose a rod that is unacceptable, no matter what, and it can immediately become disappointing and painful. If you think carefully, and not about your self-image, when choosing a rod, you will have a fabulous time.
