Ladies Fishing Rods – The Benefits of a Fishing Rod Made Just for Girls

Whether you’re a guy who wants to interest your mate in fishing or a lady looking to get in on the angler scene, ladies fishing rods are just the way to get started. Learn the benefits of a fishing rod made just for girls.

Built for Women

Ladies fishing rods are more than just pretty pink versions of guy’s gear. Women’s fishing rods are designed with all the trimmings of a man’s fishing rod but with women in mind. They’re smaller, more lightweight and ergonomically designed to fit a woman’s hand. They’re also made with shorter butts to accommodate a woman’s smaller stature.

Ladies fishing rods have a line weight of 8-17 pounds and a medium casting 7′ rod.

Attractive Design

Unlike guys basic black, blue and grey, ladies fishing rods come in attractive, eye pleasing colors such as pink, purple, teal and multicolored designs. Some women’s fishing rods come in tie-dye and nature designs.

The Lady Becomes Part of the Experience

Having a comfortable fishing rod made just for them will encourage the woman in your life to become part of the fishing experience. Even girls who are just starting out will be interested to know that 1/3 of all fishing anglers are women.

Teaching a Lady to Fish

Start Slowly

If you’re trying to talk your girlfriend or wife into joining you on your fishing trips, it’s important to start out slowly. Take your lady out for a couple of hours to start. Don’t expect her to bait the hook, tie a knot, cast a line or even reel it in to start. Show her what to do and help her along but be prepared to do most of the work yourself at first.

Don’t Make Fun of Her

Also, don’t make fun of her. Even if you chuckle slightly at her squeamishness of taking the fish off the hook or the size of the fish she catches, she’ll likely never come out with you again.

Be Encouraging

Even if the only thing she catches the first time out is a minnow, take a picture of her holding it (if she wants to) and make a big deal about it. After all, this is your sport and she needs to know she’s headed in the right direction.

Makes a Great Present

If you’ve been teaching your wife or girlfriend to fish on your gear and she’s been enjoying it, it may be time to get her a rod of her own. Ladies fishing rods make a great just-because present. You can even include a small tackle box with a couple of colorful lures to complete the kit. Having her own tackle box may make her feel more confident and want to fill out a lure collection on her own.

Ladies fishing rods aren’t just a pink version of a guy’s fishing rod. Women’s fishing rods are designed to fit a woman’s height and statue and are more comfortable and easier for ladies to use.
