The typical sport fishing enthusiast would have his or her own style of catching fish. Each fisherman has his own distinct set of practices and peculiarities.

To be able to succeed at fishing, you need to use the right equipment. First, let us consider power value. Power value or rod weight is the indicator of what type of fish you intend to catch. The power value ratings range from ultra light to ultra heavy. Typically, a Heavy to Ultra-Heavy rod is used for big game fishing and an ultra light one is used for small bait catching. Basically, if you are into bigger and heavier fish, opt for the heavy side of the range and vice versa. Shimano Clarus offers these ranges for both the spinning and casting rods.

Another angle to look into when choosing a rod is the "action." Action refers to the ability of the rod to bend and revert back to its natural shape. This is vital because this pertains to the rod's flexibility. A fast action rod typically bends at the tip and a slow action rod tends to bend at the butt part. But note that action is a very subjective standard. What may be considered fast in a certain type of rod may be considered fast in another type. Also, construction is considered in this case. For example, comparing a fiberglass and a bamboo rod, a typical medium bamboo made rod would be bend faster than a fast fiberglass rod.

Line weight and lure weight are also important consideration points when buying a fishing. rod. Line weight is the equivalent of tensile strength, in grains or in pounds, of the rod. Shimano Clarus, like all other Shimano rods, offer a variety of line weight to choose from to attend to the fishing style employed by different lovers of the sport. Lure weight refers to the hook weight that the rod supports.
