Match Rod

[Robbie_B]

Hi all

Having not long started match fishing myself, I use a few different rods, Yuki A6 Sensitive, Akios Hellrazor and an Akios 420fx twin tip. Is there better more suited rods out there for match fishing? I don't know if these are over kill.
Thanks

I think the term "match' rod is not really that helpful.

If we look at match fishing as being the art of catching as many in size fish as possible, in a short a time as possible, what you need is a rod capable of putting the baited trace the required distance using sufficient lead to hold bottom and then get 3 fish to the shore without pulling hooks as quickly as possible.

Personally, Ive never cared much about bite detection, as I normally fish to the clock or the time it takes to rebait the spare rig.
