What is a "fishing rod"?
A fishing rod is a long, flexible pole used to catch fish. It is typically made of materials such as fiberglass, graphite, or bamboo and has a reel attached to it. The reel holds the fishing line and helps the fisherman cast the baited hook or lure into the water. Fishing rods come in various sizes and strengths, depending on the type of fishing and the fish being targeted. The rod helps control the line and fish, allowing the fisherman to reel in the catch when it bites.
Examples
