Features of Volzhanka spinning rods
The Volzhanka brand entered the market in 1989. And today it is one of the most recognizable Russian fishing brands. Spinning rods and fishing rods have proven themselves to be of high quality, reliability, durability and excellent prices.
The company offers its products not only in Russia, but also in foreign countries. This company is rich in a variety of spinning rods, in which you can easily get confused. We will tell you about them today, we will compile the top 10 best spinning rods, with reviews and prices.
Spinning rod "Volzhanka Jig"
This spinning rod, which has a cork handle, is designed for jig fishing. It looks fragile, although the test is 5 kg and the length is 2.4 m.
This model is comparable to the Volzhanka Extra model, but the Jig spinning rod has two advantages: unique guide rings and a lower price.
The rings have one feature - they have a triangular shape with silicon carbide inserts. Thanks to this, the line quickly straightens, which significantly increases the casting distance, and the load is evenly distributed over the form when landing large fish.
The series consists of four subspecies, which differ in the bait test. Each subtype has four models of different lengths.
A jig spinning rod can be easily selected for any fishing conditions. You can use not only jig baits, but also spinners.
The blank is light and informative and can hold quite large fish. The tip of the rod is very sensitive and responds well to fish pokes and to the bait touching the bottom.
Prices for spinning rods depend on the model. To catch fish with jig baits on any body of water from the shore or boat, use the budget series of the “Jig” model. The Volzhanka spinning rod receives extremely positive reviews. Fishermen note the high quality of the rod and affordable price.
Top 10 Volzhanka spinning rods
Stiletto 0.5 grams
A universal carbon fiber rod, both on small, overgrown rivers and in open spaces for fishing on ponds and lakes. The spinning rod has two degrees of fixation, at the top and at the bottom, the length is 1.3 m, the handle is spaced apart, made of synthetic material, it is of very good quality, and the handle in the area where the reel is attached is made of plastic, the rings are on a high leg.
Price 2000 rubles.
“The spinning rod is very good, easy and comfortable to hold in your hand, the reel fits on the spinning rod like a glove. I’ll give you some advice: don’t go into the bushes with this spinning rod, otherwise you’ll instantly lose the tip of your rod!” And so I was pleased with the spinning rod, although at first it did not inspire confidence with its subtlety.” Grade:
Anatoly
Jig
As you already understand, spinning is designed for jig fishing. It has a length of 2.4 meters, a cork handle, the rod looks very fragile, but its test is +5 kg. The average price is 2700 rubles.
“I met this spinning rod a year ago. Lightweight, comfortable, got it at a good discount price. Despite the small test, I passed it, it was scary, but the spinning rod did a great job! Grade:
Michael
Master
This budget carbon spinning rod has long established itself on the market. 2.10 meters, test 7-28 grams, cork handle.”
“When I saw it in the store, I picked it up and couldn’t resist. Bought! Fits perfectly in the hand. After this spinning rod, the rest did not lie as well as the “Master”. The rod carries current, so do not fish in a thunderstorm (as it says on the rod itself). I recommend buying a size 2000 reel. There are errors such as excess varnish on the rings, and I don’t really like the rings themselves... Well, for 700 rubles (at a discount) you can ignore it.” Grade:
Dmitriy
Ultralight
It is made of monolithic plastic, has a cork handle, is easy to cast, and the price starts at three thousand rubles.
Gorynych
A universal rod with a test weight of 100 grams, a length of 2.2 meters, anti-whip guides, the price starts from five thousand rudders.
Rod crash test:
“I took it this year. I used it as a spinning rod, this “Gorynych” turned out to be a little heavy, but as a donk, it controlled bites from the tip, it turned out to be very soft, but just in case I set an alarm, don’t judge this rod by the first fishing, you need to gain experience with it from the beginning. A true all-rounder! In general, if you don’t try it yourself, you won’t know!” Grade:
Dmitriy
Lux
Carbon rod. An excellent option for beginners. Almost nano jig, with a dough of 2.2 grams, cork handle, fittings, quality of rings, suitable for the price of a spinning rod, no drops of glue, no burrs, very thin tip, price starts from three thousand rubles.
The “Lux” rod, 2 grams, throws perfectly, performs its test. I threw 3, 4 grams, and I also threw 5 grams with ease. For the price, the spinning rod is excellent, the baits fly perfectly.” Grade:
Fedor
Spin
It is precisely because of the longevity of this model that the demand for it is always high. Simplicity and convenience are the main advantages of this stick. Test 5 and 21 grams, cork handle.
"Spin" in action:
“I want to share my unsuccessful experience in using this sub-rod. I got it from a not very generous friend as a birthday present. And it so happened that I took this particular spinning rod with me on a fishing trip and went fishing. And then, at about the thirtieth minute, a fracture occurred in the area where the two parts connected. And I spent all my fishing time on repairing the rod: with tape, threads and others... Maybe it’s the low price, but if I knew what I would have to deal with, I would immediately refuse such a gift.”
Grade:
Ivan
Voyage
Spinning, plug rod. Rare model. Test from ten to forty grams, length from 2.4 to 2.7 meters.
“The rod works well, the casts are easy, the guides and lines do not conflict. I'm happy with the price and the stick! “9th place “Stalker”. Length 1.8-2.7 meters, test 10-30 grams, short handle. The shorter models are designed for twitch fishing with jigs, and the longer ones directly with jigs.” Grade:
Semyon
“It performed well in the hand, the length of the handle is enough for me, but this is individual. Well, overall the wand was a success!” Grade:
Peter
Meteor
It was provided in 2008 and immediately gained popularity and demand among fishermen. The meteor is made of fiberglass and carbon fiber, the handles are cork, the rings are equipped with the “Sic” system.
“I bought this meteor with test 2-7, length 2.4. I had experience on the water, the action was fast, I used it for fishing with a micro jig. The performance is not bad. The sensitivity is pleasant. I liked the matte color. Cons: the hook was made from the bottom, but not from the side, which caused discomfort. The handle is two-handed, but I prefer a thinner one. After 3 fishing trips with micro jig and wobble, the impression was average.” Grade:

Andrey (2021-02-03 10:23:54) Gelendzhik
Product Name: Braided, Flux Line, Lure
About the product: Everything is high quality, although there is some kind of red spot on the fence, but I haven’t wrapped it yet, so I don’t know what it is.
About the company: it arrived quickly, the service was excellent, but the house and apartment were not indicated on the parcel itself - well known at the post office, they were issued without problems and the house number was indicated incorrectly on the invoice. Please be careful
Volzhanka Fish: Andrey, thank you for your feedback! The delivery address is copied from your order. It's strange that this happened. Let's be more careful.
Andrey (2021-01-27 16:13:19) Gelendzhik
Product name: ARCUS telematch, MASTER-5000 feeder coil, Sensor x8-0.13 fence
About the product: All the goods are of high quality, I liked them. I tested them at sea by throwing bombards (40-50g) at a distance (that’s why I bought them). The throwing range is 130-140m, which I really liked. If you practice, you can continue, but the fence (sensor x8 0.13mm) is 150m, so it’s quite enough. The only thing it is advisable to lengthen the butt by 15-20cm to the reel seat for long casts (for example, TITAN feeder)
About the company: Excellent service, the order was placed quickly and efficiently.. Super + free delivery. I recommend it to everyone.
Volzhanka Fish: Andrey, thank you for taking the time and writing a review!
Maxim (2021-01-23 14:35:33) Petrovsk

About the product: the fishing rod is good, light.
About the company: Volzhankafish online store is an excellent store. The goods were sent very quickly on the day of payment. The fishing rod reached the Saratov region very quickly in 4 days. They also gave me a 10% discount and free delivery by Russian Post, I’ve never seen anything like this. Great store!

Trubitsin Mikhail Mikhailovich (2021-01-19 13:28:38) Penza
Product name: Set of quivertypes for Volzhanka Volgar feeder 3.3 m up to 100g.
About the product: The impression is that the replacement set is a little softer than the original one, the guide rings are a little smaller in diameter. In other places there is no such product at all. You can’t even compare it with a non-original Chinese one, selected in size. Definitely original, don’t spoil the gear.
About the company: I ordered for the first time. We called quickly, didn’t ask or impose too much. Dispatch the next day! The packaging is reliable. If I need anything else and it’s here, I’ll order it without a doubt.
Volzhanka Fish: Mikhail Mikhailovich, thank you for your feedback! It’s strange that there are differences; we take all the goods directly from the manufacturer from the warehouse.
Konstantin Borsuk (2021-01-15 20:16:18) Divnomorskoye, Krasnodar region
Product name: Volzhanka Bombardir, Meteor reel, braided line, fishing line
About the product: I liked everything I purchased. In general, I consider this rod to be one of the best for bombard fishing (more than 10 years of experience). The Meteor reel works great - not a single comment during the season, even with thin braid. The braid and fishing lines are of good quality, and most importantly - honest footage, otherwise it happened - you buy 110 m in some store, but in fact there are barely 70 m in stock.
About the company: I have been working with the company relatively recently, but I have already placed 3 orders. Everything is done promptly. Communication with the administrator is always respectful. Delivery also usually does not take long. The packaging is beyond praise, everything is absolutely secure. In short, from now on I myself will only deal with Volzhanka Fish and recommend it to others.
Volzhanka Fish: Konstanty, thank you for your feedback! We will be glad to cooperate with you!
Maxim (2021-01-04 16:03:33) Serov
Product name: Adapter for Nero screwdriver
About the product: Adapter for Nero right-hand rotation auger Nero NERO is complete crap, after the 2nd hole the bearings jammed, before that there was a Chinese adapter that worked for 2 seasons, I bought Nero, I thought it was a company, but it turned out to be worse than China, I almost broke my arms. This is the kind of crap that creates an opinion about a company!!!!!
About the company: Bad company. do normal things, and don’t chase profit - I’m talking about manufacturers.
Volzhanka Fish: Maxim, thank you for your feedback! But we do not sell the product about which you wrote a review; perhaps it makes sense to contact the store where you bought the product and tell them about the problem.
Victor (2020-12-29 13:57:05) Voronezh

How to choose a spinning rod: advice from fishermen
Now the fishing market is overcrowded with many sticks, and in order not to get lost, read the article to the end. A spinning rod is not just a stick with rings, but a rather complex device.
If you like to fish with jig bait, then you need to know in what conditions you are going to fish. If this is shore fishing, then you need a rod measuring 2.70-3.30 meters to make the longest cast. You need to know what the current strength is in the reservoir; if it is still water, then you need to choose a test range of 30-35 g. If you fish in the current, then naturally the test weights increase, 50-60 g.
For such a rod, weights up to 30 grams are taken. What is the test? The test is the weight of your spinner, which your spinning rod will throw with ease. If you are fishing from a tray, then you need a shorter stick. If you need to make long casts, then pay attention to the position of the first ring. For long casts, you need the ring to be further from the handle, and if the ring is close to the handle, then the casts will be short.
But the main requirement for a spinning rod is not its strength, but its flexibility. It is the reinforcement properties of the rod itself. Plus, it should be light. After all, with a strong but heavy spinning rod, after 30 or more casts, your hand hurts terribly. In general, a light and flexible rod is better than a strong and heavy one.
An important factor is the spinning speed, that is, the speed at which the rod returns to its original, unoscillating position after casting. The faster the spinning rod returns to its initial position, the better.
Another way is to simply ask your friends, experienced fishermen, and ask for their advice. But not everyone has such friends, so you can just ask the salesman or manager at a fishing store if they fish themselves? And what kind of rod do they use?
Advice from professionals
Among the huge variety and large model range of spinning rods, choosing just one will be difficult not only for a beginner. In addition, you need to immediately imagine which components will fit.
Thus, in order to choose the right spinning rod, you must initially understand what kind of fishing we are talking about.
There are several types of spinning fishing:
- Classic - casting fishing, ideal for beginners and amateurs, all kinds of baits are used.
- Jigging - zigzag rotation of the bait parallel to the bottom of the reservoir. A light, flexible spinning rod with a fast action that reacts to touching the bottom and attacking fish is suitable.
- Trolling is fishing on boats with artificial bait. A durable, rigid spinning rod is suitable for lifting large fish.
- Twitching - this fishing technique is based on the frequency of sharp movements (sharp jerk, pause). Fast action spinning rods are preferred.
- Ultralight - “hunting” for cautious fish, using light baits. A spinning rod of the same name model is suitable here.
- Fishing with bulk baits, you will need a spinning rod with an ultra-fast action, short length and a test range of 100-120g.
Now it becomes clearer what characteristics a spinning rod should have for each of the above types of fishing. However, fishing conditions and reservoirs remain important. For fishing from the shoreline, a good rod length is required (2.5-3.5 meters). The current speed is also taken into account; it will affect the test range (the stronger the current, the higher the test).
If fishing is carried out from a boat, then a long cane is not needed; you can choose a shorter spinning rod. For long casts, you should pay attention to the location of the rings. The ring is placed further away from the handle, otherwise it will simply not be possible to make a long cast.
The main requirement when choosing a spinning rod is its flexibility, strength is a secondary selection parameter. For convenience, it is important that the spinning rod be light (otherwise you may simply get tired of throwing heavy gear, and the fishing will be ruined). You can also pay attention to the speed at which the rod returns to its original state.
Still, it will be difficult for a beginner to independently determine the characteristics of a spinning rod and select the right one. Therefore, it is better to seek help from professionals: a fisherman you know or an experienced salesperson in a specialized store.
The first spinning rod will affect your love for fishing and can either wake you up or put it to sleep. That is why the choice must be made correctly. Determining the most frequent fishing locations will not be difficult, and based on the conditions of the reservoir and the availability of a boat, the choice can become much easier.
Spinning rod care
Let's start with the most fragile part. "Tulip". This is what the ring at the end of the rod is called. In order for it to serve for a long time, it must be looked after. To process the tulip we will need a toothbrush and laundry soap. We take a brush, then rub a little laundry soap on it and begin to rub our tulip from different sides, where there may be dirt or sand.
Then we move on to the next ring and so on until the last one. Now we move on to the lower part, where the handle and reel mount are located. This is the part that is most often susceptible to contamination. This part is often placed or lies with the entire spinning rod on the mud and always interacts with the fisherman’s hands, and on his hands he has dirt, mucus scales, and so on. To clean this part, we repeat the same procedure as with the upper part, rubbing the handle with soap. Pay special attention to the location where the coil is mounted.
There may be a lot of sand hiding there. Don't forget about the joints between the two parts of the rod. Usually sand gets into these joints and after we insert the second part of the spinning rod, and because of the sand that scratches and greatly wears out the rod, the two parts will either break off at the right moment or will not be able to connect at all.
And to get rid of sand at the joint, simply blow out the area or rinse it with waste water. The most important! When purchasing, lick the case, DO NOT THROW IT AWAY! After you have completed all the procedures, put the spinning rod in a case and store it in a dry place until better times.
Spinning rod "Volzhanka Stiletto"
This versatile rod can be used for fishing in rivers and ponds that are overgrown with grass, bushes, as well as in open lakes.
The spinning rod is fixed in the upper and lower parts. Its length is 1.3 meters. It has a spaced handle made of high-quality synthetic material. The rings on the spinning rod are on a fairly high leg.
The rod is mainly used for catching trout and fish that are distinguished by a powerful and lightning-fast attack: perch, grayling, chub. This spinning rod works well with various types of light baits and with the help of an unloaded external elastic band.
The use of carbon fiber in the production of spinning rods made it possible to quickly cast it and easily fish it out. The monolithic graphite top transformed the first section into a single whole. This significantly increased its reliability and throwing properties.
Manufacturers made lightweight rings. As a result, casting movement and dynamics have improved, and residual vibrations have decreased. The reel seat, original and reliable, was installed directly on the form.
The bait is delivered precisely to the target by the Stiletto model. The Volzhanka spinning rod received only positive reviews from fishermen. Professionals note that a spinning rod can be used to cast quickly.
Bottom line
At the end, let’s summarize this article: We introduced you closer to spinning rods. We have compiled the top 10 best and most popular fishing rods. They also told us how to store and care for fishing rods.
After all, no matter how expensive a thing is, you always need to take care of it and extend its service life. The huge selection of this company allows every fisherman to find a spinning rod, tackle, and something else to suit his taste and at an affordable price. We hope you got a lot of useful information from this article.
