A fishing rod is a long, flexible rod used to catch fish.

At its simplest, a fishing rod is a simple stick or pole attached to a line ending in a hook (formerly known as an angle, hence the term angling).

The length of the rod can vary between.

To entice fish, bait or lures are impaled on one or more hooks attached to the line.

The line is generally stored on a reel which reduces tangles and assists in landing a fish.
