LRF Rods
There’s now a huge choice of LRF fishing rods and deciding which rod to buy is a very personal decision.

The list goes on and on. The following posts about light lure rods may not help you with all these decisions, but hopefully they will give you some ideas.

To me, it’s this style of fishing that has amplified the importance of using a balanced outfit. I thought I’d share where my head is at currently. Subject to change.More
