Angling-rod building blanks are of many varieties. Your decision will depend on the power, taper, length and materials it is made of. The pulling strength of the rod defines its power. Power can be described differently by manufacturers. Some of types of fishing rod building blanks are described as light, medium, heavy and their strengths.
The terms heavy, light or medium are described relatively. A heavy one is designed to handle largemouth bass. Moderate ones are for stripped basses. Know the recommended lure weights to have an idea of the power of the rod. The manufacturers may have different measurements, so you are advised to use your hand to know how it feels. Some of the ratings are not true.
Also the weights you will be throwing should often fall at the mid of the ratings indicated on the line. When the line is meant to pull fish out of rocks, the blank should be powerful than the line to give you additional pulling power. It follows that lighter shaft are utilized for presentation of tiny baits to big fish and the line should be heavy to control the fish.
The blank action should be in line with your requirements and the conditions of fishing. Faster acting shafts put a lot of force on the cast sending lure and baits further. The same should be sufficient for casting of delicate baits including shiners, mackerel, eels and bunker. To lob live baits, slow acting or moderate sticks are the best.
Fast action rods have better sensitivity and thus the better to use when picking up lure actions or bites which are subtle. Moderate action or slow acting ones are what you go for when wishing to protect lines which are light and leaders too as the fish fights being hooked. Forgiving angling sticks aid by unloading some of the strain from the line preventing its breakage.
Choose a material whose price fits in your budget. The high end and high modulus rods of graphite are so expensive. They are both light and powerful but normally fragile than the composite and the fiberglass rods. These graphite blanks are good when used to build light weight rods because they are very sensitive.
There are some fishermen who will prefer to use the slower action of fiberglass. With a braided line they provide a lot of sensitivity. For some the glass rods are easier on your budget and even have a better performance than the graphite types. They are even more durable. If you need cheaper and durable types, fiberglass is the better option.
In many cases, the lengths of the rods matter. The longer ones will cast further while the shorter ones exert more force on the hooked fish with lower strain. Rods can also be shortened from tips to make them better for angling techniques. Beware that once you have shortened the angling rod constructing blanks you will not be warranted by the manufacturer in the city of Townsend, DE.
