[font "Poor Richard"][green][size 3][/size][/green][/font] [li][font "Poor Richard"][size 3][green]Graphite Fishing Rods
Are very light and provide the highest level of sensitivity. They work best if you are after species which hit lightly because graphite Fishing Rods can easily detect subtle bites and pick-ups. Though they are extremely light and highly sensitive, graphite Fishing Rods tend to be more fragile than fiberglass or composite Fishing Rods.
[/green][/size][/font] [li][font "Poor Richard"][size 3][green]Composite Fishing Rods
Are the combination of graphite and fiberglass so these types of Fishing Rods have approximately the features of both substances. Composite Fishing Rods are sensitive, long-lasting, and light weight. They can be used for different fishing situations.
[/green][/size][/font] [li][font "Poor Richard"][size 3][green]Fiberglass Fishing Rods
Are tougher and more long-lasting but less sensitive compared to graphite Fishing Rods. They can be with tubular or solid rod blanks. Tubular types have hollow cores so they are lighter than solid fiberglass Fishing Rods. Compared to tubular Fishing Rods, solid fiberglass Fishing Rods are heavier but they are stronger and more durable. [/green][/size][/font][/li]
