Rod for the Black Friday

This page gathers the rods from Trek Expert for all types of fishing: predator, pole, feeder, carp, and sea fishing. It extends the fishing during Black Friday.

The selection is dominated by spinning rods for predators, along with casting, pole, feeder, and carp rods. Set the type filter before looking at the length or brand.

A rod is compared on three points: length, power, and the number of sections. The two first ones determine the use, while the third one decides on the bulk in the car or on the bike.

The right type of rod for the fish

The spinning rod targets predators with lures, the casting rod aims at heavier lures, and the carp rod casts far. Each family has its own lengths and powers, which you can read on the specifications. Don't forget about the reel that goes with it.

For pike and zanders, aim for a firmer action. For perch or trout, a thinner rod is sufficient. For pole fishing, length matters more than power. The specifications provide the length, power, and recommended weight of the lures.

For carp, power is measured in pounds, and the rod is chosen based on the weight of the lead. For pole fishing, lightness is key since you hold the rod in hand for hours. For feeder fishing, interchangeable tips adapt to the current.

Brands of rods to look out for

The selection is based on Korum, Shimano, Maver, Preston, and Matrix. Each has its sizes, actions, and sections of rods: compare them before choosing.

Shimano dominates the selection in spinning. Korum and Maver are more focused on pole and feeder, as are Preston and Matrix. Read each specification to know if the rod is sold as a single or multiple sections.

The reel, the line, and the rest

Add some rigs, baits, and gear like the line. For long sessions, set up the bivvy.

A rod doesn’t fish alone: plan for a reel suited to its power, line of good diameter, and a few lures or hooks. For pole fishing, items are sometimes sold in sections that need to be assembled carefully.

Other options for gearing up

The fishing sales and fishing clearance also offer rods from past seasons.

Past season rods regularly appear in the fishing clearance. Compare the length and power rather than just the name, as two rods from the same range can target different fish.
