Graphite rods are now very popular. More affordable than before, graphite fishing rods are very easy to use. They are as easy to use as the simple fiberglass rods but they’re often associated with easy breaks, which is certainly not the case. The easiest method to ensure the graphite shaft won’t break is to look for a line that has a lower weight capacity than the rod itself. This means the rod is the first to give in case of a heavy catch. It takes the impact and in case it brakes, it doesn’t come with considerable financial losses as would be the case with a broken fishing rod. Most modern graphite rods come with stainless steel accessories such as eyelets for extra durability.
