STORM

For Storm spinning rods, pay close attention to lure rating and rod action. A rod that is too heavy can take the feel out of light lures, while a rod that is too light may not have the backbone needed when a stronger fish takes the bait. For lure fishing, the casting range printed on the rod is one of the first specifications worth checking.Jigging is a different job. Storm jigging rods are designed around the way a jig is worked through the water, with the rod action and power helping you control the lure and respond when a fish strikes. Models within the Storm Gomoku range, for example, include rods developed for different jigging applications and weights. Storm's range has included both spinning and overhead jigging designs, giving anglers more flexibility when building a vertical fishing setup.
