Advantages of mountain stream bait rods
Shooting: FISH PARADISE! Editorial department
Spinning rods have been the mainstream until now because lures weighing about 5g are used in mountain streams. However, in recent years, bait rods that can be used in mountain streams have been released one after another, and mountain stream bait rods are becoming popular. There are several advantages to using bait rods in mountain streams.
Cast accuracy
In mountain stream fishing, it is necessary to cast at pinpoints such as near water plants, around roots, and twists in the flow. Spinning rods can also be used for pinpoint casting, but bait rods, which allow you to adjust the direction of the line by thumbing, have better casting accuracy.
Good return
Casting operations are simpler with baits than with spinning, so casting is more rewarding. The more casts you make, the better your chances of catching fish. Of course, the risk of backlash increases, but let's overcome it with practice and getting used to it!
How to choose a mountain stream bait rod

For mountain stream bait rods, light to ultra-light action soft rods are suitable so that you can cast lightweight lures without stress. Also, since there are many obstacles such as trees and plants at the edge, we recommend a short rod of around 5ft that is easy to cast.
