Bolognese rods for long-distance coarse fishing
The Bolognese rod – often affectionately called “Bolo” – is the rod for those who like to fish with the float at greater distances. This combination of a fixed rod and casting rod is especially popular for fishing in rivers and canals, where flowing water and larger fish require a sturdy approach. Thanks to its length, reel attachment, and fine control, the Bolognese rod is perfect for drifting fishing.
What is a Bolognese rod?
A Bolognese rod is a long telescopic rod, usually between 4 and 8 meters, equipped with guides and a reel seat. Unlike a fixed rod, you can let line out during the fight with a Bolognese rod. This makes it a perfect choice for fishing bream, roach, and chub at somewhat longer distances or in flowing water. You fish with a fixed float and let the bait drift calmly with the current for an extremely natural presentation.
Advantages of fishing with a Bolognese rod
With a Bolognese rod, you can fish further from the shore than with a fixed rod. Thanks to the reel, you easily maintain control over the fish during the fight and can respond to unexpected runs from larger fish. These rods are lightweight and offer a lot of sensitivity, while still having enough backbone to land somewhat heavier coarse fish. An ideal tool for fishing in flowing waters or when the fish stay further from the shore.
What to consider when buying a Bolognese rod?
When choosing your Bolognese rod, pay attention to the length, casting weight, the material used (for example carbon or fiberglass), and the quality of the guides and reel seat. A strong, lightweight rod with good balance is essential. Also match your float and bait to the rod, so you have a fine, balanced setup for your fishing waters.
