The balance with the fishing rod is checked assembled. A heavy pulley on a light blank shifts the center back, and a too small spool can limit the capacity and feed of a fishing line. SK5 and SK8 have variants with different weight, drag and ratio, so compare the exact code of the particular model carefully. Do not carry a single-size feature to the entire series.
With SHIZUKA rods, the difference is even greater. The SH direct telescope is in lengths 3-5 m and casting weight 20-40 g, while SHIZUKA 1400 is a two-section spinning rod 2,70 m with test 10-40 g. The marine SH1600 is 4,20 m and 220 g. These numbers show why models are not interchangeable, even when they carry the same name.
Before ordering, record the exact technique, working range, transport length and desired line. In reel, check the capacity, drag and reserve spool only for the specific code. In the case of a fishing rod, conform the test to the actual total mass of the rig. After an outing, rinse and dry the salt water used near the water, inspect the guides and loosen the drag when stored. Do not replace the exact code with an approximate series name.
For comparison by purpose use Reels, Rods, Spinning Rods, Sea Rods and the Float Rods. Thus, each model remains in the correct technique.
