Bolo rods

Bologna rods are a type of specialised float rod. They are designed to meet the unique requirements of float fishing, especially river fishing. They are best suited for fixed line fishing where greater distance and/or depth is required. The typical technique for guiding the float in these areas is to hold the float and guide it through the feeding path, and the easiest way to do this is with a long rod, which is what a bolon rod is. A long rod allows the angler to have optimum control of the float and to instantly bite even in stronger currents.

Precision-built bologna rods not only have a long length, but also rings on the long legs that prevent the line from sticking to the blank, which distinguishes them from conventional rods. These rods typically range in length from 3m to 8m.

The bologna float rod is designed using a mix of materials where lightness and stiffness are preferred. It uses high quality carbon fibre (carbon) to achieve a balance between lightness and strength. This combination ensures that anglers don't quickly tire of holding a heavy long rod and that lightning-fast bites are possible.

The versatility of Bolon rods is another outstanding feature. They are suitable for a wide range of fishing methods, including still water and slow or fast flowing rivers, making them very popular with float fishermen.

Whether you're fishing for bream, crucian carp, tench or other freshwater species, bolon rods offer an unrivalled level of float control. Anglers can cast accurately and present bait with finesse, thanks to the delicate balance and flexibility of these rods.
