Rod length
Here, we’ve marked which reel sizes are suitable for this specific rod. The type of reel to use with a rod depends on whether it’s a spinning, casting, saltwater, or similar rod, so if you’re unsure,feel free to double-check. That the same rod can have multiple reel sizes depends on the fishing style you’re pursuing.
Suitable reel size
Here, we’ve categorized the products based on which fish you want to hook. We’ve relied on what manufacturers specify, but also on experience of what usually works. The list could almost be endless, and many things work for more species than we’ve listed, so don’t be afraid to experiment.

Casting weights simply refer to the weight of the lure a rod is intended for. A rod with a casting weight of, for example, 10-30 grams is optimal for casting lures within that weight range. Exceeding it risks breaking the rod during casting, while using lighter lures makes casting difficult.
Refers to how many centimeters long the disassembled rod is. This can be good to know if you’re traveling or packing it into a motorcycle bag.
Rod length when transported
Refers to the material the rod’s handle is made of. Cork and EVA (foam) are the most common types.

Are you a beginner looking for a new rod? Check out the rods in the Medium and Medium-Fast categories. These rods bend a bit more than the so-called 'fast' rods, which simplifies both casting and fighting ability if a fish bites.
More about rod actions Action is a term for how the blank bends when pressure is applied to the tip and is described in English as follows:
Extra Fast (Ultra Fast): means the tip bends much more easily than the rest of the blank, which is relatively stiff.
Fast: bends just over a third of the blank.
Medium-Fast: bends about half of the blank.
Medium (Moderate): bends about 3/4 of the blank.
Slow: describes a parabolic bend of almost the entire blank.
Common simplified Swedish terms to describe action are tip-, half-, and full-action.
Different actions suit different fishing. 'Extra Fast' and 'Fast' provide more feel to the lure and faster hooksets, but the stiff blank reduces fighting ability and doesn’t offer the same 'slingshot effect' on casts as 'Medium' and 'Slow' actions.
