Bottom boat fishing rods

Bottom fishing from the boat is a technique of sea fishing with engines off, anchored or leeway. You can use two, three or more baited hooks with natural bait or sabiki. The fishing rod task is reporting the bite and amortizing the outbursts of hooked fish. There is no perfect rod capable of doing all types of bottom fishing but there are so many really good rods, that’s why at Pesca Fishing Shop we are available to help you choose. Just ask us for advice!

Telescopic and multi-piece bottom boat fishing rods

Depending on the depth you want to fish, there are more or less suitable rods, with different action and robustness. Both telescopic and multi-piece are both used in this thecnique. In general we recognise three bottom boat fishing cathegories: "coastal", "intermediate" and "deep". This allows you, to better understand, when buying on Pesca Fishing shop, if that tool is ok for the depth to which you want to fish in bottom fishing. A determining factor will be the action (or weight) of the rod.

Bottom rods and fishing depth

Light rods are best for coastal bottom fishing, and also for mid-water fishes, e.g. mackerel, bogues, saddled seabream and picarel. Intermediate rods are best for reaching depths of 50-100 m, where the sea and the current allow that. Our most frequent prey may be porgies, seabreams, pandora, St. Peter's fish, mostelle and other prey more or less appreciated for eating. In addition, over 100-m depths revolving-spool reels are commonly used, and even electric reels, connected to a power outlet or to a 12/24 volt battery. Rods for deep bottom fishing have to be very robust but will vary their characteristics according to our preferences. They must face large catches (for example large grouper or balck ruff); the guides must withstand for a long time to rubbing of braided line (dyneema).
