What is a rock fishing rod used for?

A rock fishing rod is a fast spinning blank for casting from ledges into swell, with extra backbone to lift fish off the stones.

How is a rock fishing rod different from similar gear?

Unlike a surfcasting rod, it is not a distance-lead tool. A spinning seat suits lures and live baits tight to structure.

When should you use a rock fishing rod?

Fish it from rocks and harbour walls for spinning, bottom fishing, and live baiting in salt.

What problems does a rock fishing rod solve?

It keeps you in charge when a fish dives under a ledge instead of stretching a soft surf blank.
