Just How important is your decision when it comes to picking your Best Bass Fishing Pole?

In one word....VERY!

When is comes time to choose your next Bass Fishing Pole, you NEED to make the correct decision. The right pole could very well be the most important piece of the bass fishing puzzle and be the difference between the trophy of your life and just another broken line.

While you can't catch a trophy bass without the right lure and line, without the right rod you do not stand a chance against the wiley bass. You need to match the pole with the you are using and the line you are using along with the conditions that you are in.

When you take a look at all of the rows and rows of rods at your favorite fishing tackle store, it can become very confusing and almost overwhelming to pick out the right one.

Like I stated above, you need to take a few things into account before making your purchase.

1. Make sure to match your next fishing pole with the conditions you will be fishing in. By this I mean you should take into account water depth, structure conditions and even the size of the bass that lurk in the lake, river or reservoir you are fishing in.

2. Match the rod to the lures you will be using. If you are throwing around small and light baits, an oversized pole will not get the job done. The opposite is also true.

3. Line matters! Light line on heavy poles is always asking for trouble. Heavy line on light poles and you will loose casting distance and accuracy. Match the line to the pole.
