Light Drifting and Bottom Fishing Rods: Versatility and Performance for Boat Fishing

Light drifting and bottom fishing rods are designed to provide the perfect balance of sensitivity and power, adapting to the various demands of offshore fishing. These techniques, practiced in the sea either at anchor or while drifting, require specialized equipment capable of handling natural baits and fighting strong fish like mackerel, bonito, amberjack, dorado, and horse mackerel. Choosing the right rod is essential to optimize catches and maintain full control over your fishing action.

Types and Features of Bottom Fishing and Light Drifting Rods

Bottom fishing and light drifting rods can be telescopic or three-piece, with lengths ranging from 2 to 5 meters and power ratings between 10 and 500 grams. The most commonly used models are between 3 and 4 meters, with power ratings from 10 to 100 grams, making them ideal for various depths and fishing conditions.

The rod action should be selected based on the fishing depth:

• Up to 30 meters: Softer rods with a parabolic or progressive action are recommended for better bite detection and control.
• From 40 to 100 meters: A fast action rod is preferable to efficiently retrieve fish from greater depths.

Rod length also varies based on the size of the boat:

• Larger boats: Rods between 3.5 and 5 meters, providing better control and improved shock absorption during the fight.
• Small to medium-sized boats: Rods under 3 meters, allowing for easier handling in tighter spaces.

High-Quality Materials and Advanced Technology

Light drifting and bottom fishing rods are made from high-modulus carbon, ensuring lightweight construction, perfect balance, and high tensile strength. They are equipped with reinforced guides, suitable for both monofilament and braided lines, along with ergonomic reel seats and non-slip grips for a secure hold, even in rough sea conditions.
