What Is The Difference Between A Cannon Rod And A Hand Rod?

The cannon rod is a commonly used fishing rod in traditional fishing methods. It is named after it is particularly suitable for the "cannon fishing method". The biggest feature is that the rod body is particularly long, ranging from 8 to 9 meters short and up to 30 to 40 meters long. You do not need to hold it when fishing. Generally, you need to use a "gantry frame" to set the fishing rod. Let's take a look at the difference between a cannon rod and a hand rod!

1. Rod type definition

The cannon rod is a type of hand rod. The so-called hand rod refers to all fishing rods that do not have fishing reels. It is named after the fishing of many rods. There are mainly two categories: traditional rods and platform fishing rods. Among them, traditional rods can be further divided into stream rods, cat rods, cannon rods, etc., while platform fishing rods can be subdivided into crucian carp rods, comprehensive rods, carp rods, large objects rods, black pit rods, competitive rods, etc.

Note: The cannon rod is a type of hand rod, and is named because it is particularly suitable for "cannon fishing". The so-called "cannon fishing method" refers to using a fishing rod of more than 8 meters to fish far and deep.

3. Applicable scenarios

1. Cannon rod: Cannon rod is a fishing rod commonly used in traditional fishing methods. Its length is generally more than 8 to 9 meters and the length can reach 30 to 40 meters. It is most suitable for fishing in shallows or large-area aquatic grass areas. When fishing, floats and baits can be sent to the fishing point by telescopic change in length.

2. Hand rod: Hand rod refers to all fishing rods that do not use fishing reels. Due to different usages, there are mainly two types of fishing rods and platform fishing rods. Among them, the platform fishing rod refers to the hand rods used for Taiwanese fishing (Taiwan fishing techniques). Except for the platform fishing rods, other hand rods can be regarded as traditional rods.

4. Basic parameters

1. Length: The fishing rod has two lengths. One is the extension length, which refers to the length after the fishing rod is expanded, and the other is the shrinking length, which refers to the length after the fishing rod is retracted.

2. Rod diameter: The rod diameter is mainly divided into pre-diameter and element diameter. The pre-diameter refers to the diameter of the rod tip, while the element diameter refers to the diameter of the handle. The angle between the two is called taper.

3. Weight: Weight refers to the weight of the fishing rod. It generally includes net weight, self-weight, finished product weight, etc. It is recommended to look at the finished product weight. Net weight and self-weight have no meaning.

4. Tone: Tone refers to the bending point position ratio when the horizontal force of the fishing rod is under 0.1 kg. Common ones include 19 adjustments, 28 adjustments, 37 adjustments, 46 adjustments, 55 adjustments, etc.

5. Fishing weight: Fishing weight refers to the maximum weight that a fishing rod can withstand. Although it is one of the most important parameters of a fishing rod, the fishing weight does not determine the quality of the fishing rod.
