Rod action and power explained

选择合适的鱼竿动作和力量听起来很简单。但即使是配置上的细微差异也会影响你的钓鱼体验,无论好坏。因此,了解基本知识并拥有合适的鱼竿动作和力量,不仅能让你钓到更多鱼,还能让你的钓鱼乐趣更多。通常,鱼竿的描述包括“长度”、“抛竿重量”、“动作”和“力量”。在本文中,我们将探讨后两个更容易理解的术语——动作和力量。
杆功率
首先要说的是功率,它的含义就是将竿子完全加载所需的功率。额定功率越大,竿子上可以施加的重量或力量就越大,而不会对竿子造成过大的压力,甚至不会使其断裂。额定功率通常设置为“超轻”、“重”或“特重”。
重型动力杆
如果您使用大号铅坠、重型拟饵、粗线钩,或者在树林、睡莲叶或茂密的水下植被等厚重覆盖物附近钓鱼,更适合使用更重的鱼竿,这样可以更好地设置更大的鱼钩,迫使鱼儿在鱼钩钩住您的鱼线或鱼饵之前离开覆盖物。
另一方面,较轻的鱼竿可以使您使用轻型拟饵,用超轻的鱼钩和细线与鱼搏斗,并在需要技巧的时候精准地运用您的策略。
中等功率的鱼竿
中等力值鱼竿通常是所有鱼竿中最通用的(顾名思义)。它能够适应各种鱼饵和钓鱼技巧,适合那些希望无论遇到什么情况都能有选择,又不必同时携带多套鱼具的钓鱼者。对于在开阔水域或中等遮蔽物周围使用中型鱼饵的钓鱼者来说,它是完美的选择。中等力值鱼竿并非总是最佳选择,但它很可能能够满足您的需求!
力值等级并非通用,通常会根据特定鱼竿或系列的目标鱼种而有所不同。中重型力值的梭子鱼竿很可能比中重型鲈鱼/河鲈鱼竿的力值高得多,反之亦然。话虽如此,超重型鲈鱼竿或许可以成为完美的小型梭子鱼竿!
杆动作
另一方面,动作指的是杆坯在负载下弯曲的位置和方式,通常标记为从慢速、中速到快速或超快。速度较慢的杆在压力下会表现出更明显的抛物线特征,杆坯会在接触到主干之前就深深地弯曲到杆坯内部。
快速动作杆
快速鱼竿主要会在鱼竿顶部弯曲,然后鱼竿主干就会固定下来,从而在装载鱼竿时提供“快速”的力量,而较慢的鱼竿则需要装载到更远的地方,从而提供“缓慢”的感觉。
Fast rods excel in techniques where you might get slack line such as bottom contact-oriented jig fishing where control over the line and bait is essential. Many of these techniques heavily favors from a quick hookset and a fast rod will give you that. Also, a fast rod will almost always feel more sensitive and way more connected to the lure since most of the rod consists of backbone that will transmit vibrations excellent due to its stiffer nature.
Almost any techniques where your lure is equipped with a single hook works very well with faster rods and if you are dragging a bait around cover with weedless presentations such as any Texas rigged bait you will most likely want a fast rod to be able to set the hook and put enough pressure on the fish to get it out of the cover as fast as possible.
In techniques where bait control in general is important (i.e. jerkbait fishing) a faster rod will give you great lure control but on the other hand it might not handle treble hook baits while fighting the fish as good as a slower option. By stepping down in power but maintaining a fast rod you might get some more bend in the blank and find the sweet spot where you can give the right action to your lure and still not rip the hooks out of the fish with too much pressure.
Moderate-fast rods
Slower rods, are usually labeled from moderate or regular to moderate-fast or regular-fast. The action” Slow” is rarely seen on lure fishing casting or spinning rods these days and that’s for good reason, as of today’s standards almost all techniques a slightly faster rod such as a regular or moderate action favors the fisherman in both sensitivity and casting without sacrificing a lot in landing ratio. The downside of a slower rod is that it will feel less sensitive than its faster counterpart, though more premium rods might still be extremely sensitive even labeled as regular or moderate but usually that comes with a more significant price tag serves with ultra refined blanks and rod components.
Slower rods excel on techniques where the lure is retrieved on a straight, tight line. Due to more forgiveness in the rod you will more likely give the fish the chance to fully engulf the bait without pulling it away by setting the hook. In addition, they absorb the thrashing and head shakes of the fish perfectly throughout the whole blank. It prevents losing line pressure on the lure at any point and therefore cuts out many opportunities for the fish to spit out the lure in a moment of slack line during the fight. If you can get away with fishing a slower rod it will increase your landing ratio almost with any lure due to this fact – but you should always take in both fishing the lure correct, and hook setting into consideration and see what option that suits you better.
Conclusion
因此,在如今的现代钓鱼中,无论你用拟饵钓什么鱼种,任何鱼竿的快慢程度都能派上用场。找到符合你个人钓鱼风格的个人偏好,并考虑其他外部选择,例如鱼线和/或前导线,也是掌握完美鱼竿动作和力量的关键。当你找到最佳钓法时,你的钓鱼水平将达到新的高度!
