Fishing sticks have been around with us from time untold now. The early age man fished with sticks of wood of various sizes, later cruder ones were made in different sizes and heaviness. All of them were not long lasting though because if the stick bent once due to the weight of the fish it never bounced back into shape. In the early 18th century a wood that bounced back into shape was discovered in India. Then later cheap fiberglass was used to make rods. Nowadays, rods are made from various materials like nickle, silver, stainless steel etc for balance, lightness, accuracy for both long casting and short casting, keeping in mind the kind of game to be caught.

They are used for catching bass, shark, bill-fish, jack crevalle, red fish, snook etc. The rods are sleek and have a glassy look. They are priced fairly reasonably but are worth every penny.
