Fly fishing rods
Fly fishing rods are highly specialized and you should know exactly what you are looking for before purchasing. Take the rod and cast it and see how it feels to you. Take some extra time to head out into the grass, in the parking lot or even on the pond to see how it feels to cast the rod (There are some stores that have ponds nearby in which you can do some test casting.)
It is best to try different brands of fly fishing rods, price levels and actions to gain the best understanding and selection for what will work best for you. See how it performs from 20-50 feet since this is the area in which you most likely will do your casting.
Make sure the rod tracks straight, and you can cast it accurately. The cork grip should feel comfortable in your hand, and it should balance well with the reel. When you find the right rod that fits your casting style, you will know instantly this is the rod for you.
Everyone has their own casting style, so pick the rod that best fits your style and casting ability. If you do this, then you can be pretty sure you are getting the right fly fishing rods.
