A rod of your choice

A fishing rod or a fishing pole is an instrument used for fishing or catching fish, usually in conjunction with the leisure of angling, can also be used in competition. A length of fishing line is attached to a long, bendable rod or pole: one end terminates in a hook for catching the fish. A 'fishing pole' is a simple pole or stick for suspending a line (normally secure to the tip), with a hooked attract or bait. They are most normally made of fibreglass, carbon fibre, graphite or, classically, bamboo, and are the only fishing levers properly referred to as "poles". In distinction, 'fishing rod' refers to a more complicated casting tool fitted with line guides and a cylinder for line stowage. Fishing rods vary in action as well as length, and can be found in sizes between 24 inches and 20 feet. The longer the rod, the greater the mechanical advantage in casting.

The Shakespeare Ugly Stik spinning rods come in a variety of models, and reviews say even the $30 Stiks are an best value for sporty fishing enthusiast. The graphite core is surrounded by fiberglass, making the Stik extremely tough but not inflexible. One Field & Stream review set out to break seven fishing rods, and only the Shakespeare Ugly Stik survived until he finally ran out of weights at 55 pounds. The durability, seven-year warranty and low prices have helped make the Shakespeare Ugly Stik trendy for more than a quarter century. Users say experienced anglers might want more sensitivity and less weight, however, and reviews suggest the lightweight graphite Okuma Guide Select (*est. $75) as the best bridge between budget and high-end spinning rods.

The Shimano Cumara is hardly economical, but expert reviews say this relatively new graphite spinning rod compares favourably with much pricier fishing gear. Professionals say the lightweight shaft offers incredible comfort, sensitivity, flexibility, speed and precision. Reviews say the carbon reel seat is a plus, but some are dissatisfied that the grip is made of foam rather than cork. The gist is that you'd probably be able to feel a nibble from a goldfish, but the shaft is durable enough that the maker offers a limited lifetime warranty. Because the Shimano Cumara is a new and relatively costly product, few owners have posted reviews online. But professionals have excitedly tried it. TackleTour.com offers unusually thorough coverage based on laboratory and field testing, and it rates enough fishing rods that its "Best Value" designation carries some weight.

When buying fishing waders do you buy a size bigger or smaller? Im looking for thigh high waders. Thanks!!!?

Would you recomend any makers? Im going for neoprene as its cold in Irsh lakes!!

Don't buy them a size big or a size too small. Buy the pair that fits right. By "fits right," I mean you can wear what you plan to wear underneath and you have full range of motion. Bend down, touch your toes, squat, kneel, etc. If you feel any tightness, discomfort, or straining at the seams, they're too small. If you have excessive material bagging around you, they're too big. Take your wading boots and the socks you plan to use with you to try on with the waders.

If I could make a recommendation, though, I'd shy away from neoprene. I know you're wading in cold water and during cold weather, but a pair of good breathable waders will keep you just as warm, will probably last longer, and are more versatile. With a pair of breathable waders, you can wear long underwear, pants, and waders when it's cold, but just shorts underneath when it's warm. You sweat less in breathable waders and they are easier to care for. They're also more comfortable all around -- it's really like wearing a pair of extra pants, rather than rubber tights.

I fish with breathable waders in cold streams in the western U.S. all through the winter. The water is nearly freezing and I get ice in my rod, in my reel, on my nose, etc. With some good long underwear, the right combination of socks, and maybe a few chemical heat packs, I can fish for several hours before I have to retreat to the truck to warm up. You could do the same thing with a set of neoprene waders, but you have to deal with all the drawbacks of neoprene, too.

As for brands, it's tough to say -- I don't know what's available to you in Ireland. It used to be that all you had to say was Simms is the gold standard and Hodgeman is the bottom of the barrel. While that is still mostly true, there are a lot of good waders out there nowadays. Orvis and Dan Bailey make some great breathable waders that don't cost as much as Simms. I'd still stay away from Hodgeman, though.
