Power is often an indicator of what types of fishing, species of fish, or size of fish a particular pole may be best used for. Ultra-light rods are suitable for catching small bait fish and also panfish, or situations where rod responsiveness is critical.
Ultra-Heavy rods are used in deep sea fishing, surf fishing, or for heavy fish by weight. Any fish can theoretically be caught with any rod, of course, but catching panfish on a heavy rod offers no sport whatsoever, and successfully landing a large fish on an ultralight rod requires supreme rod handling skills at best, and more frequently ends in broken tackle and a lost fish.
Rods are best suited to the type of fishing they are intended for. An excellent guide to the most useful and practical knots. Girth Hitch. Half Hitch. Halter Hitch. Halyard Hitch.

Pass the working end of the line up through the loop and around behind the line. Then pass the working end down through the original loop, all while maintaining the shape of the second loop you create, which becomes your bowline loop.
The figure eight knot creates a stopper wherever you need one on a rope, though the steps are also steps you take to create several other knots. To tie a figure eight, also known as a Flemish bend, simply pass the free end of a line over itself to form a loop. Continue under and around the line, and finish the knot by passing the working end down through the original loop.
Then pass the other rope through the hook shape from behind, wrap it around the entire fishhook once and then tuck the smaller line between itself and the other rope. If the ropes are the same diameter and texture, the sheet bend actually resembles a square knot. A half hitch is fairly easy to tie, and I use it often to tie tarps up for shelters, or to hang up hammocks.
After you wrap the rope around the standing end and through the inside of the loop created to make the first half hitch, wrap around the line the same way again to make the second half hitch. Pull it tight and you should have two half hitches, one seated next to the other. If you want added insurance, you can tie an overhand knot with the tag end of the line to keep the two half hitches from slipping.
The taut line hitch takes the place of a slide to tighten or loosen a loop in a line like a tent guy line. To tie the taut line hitch, create a loop by wrapping around a solid, unmoving object like a tree or tent stake. With the free end of the rope, wrap around the main line twice on the inside of the loop.
Then lay the free end of the rope over the two wraps, wrap it around the main line, and draw the tag end through the loop you just created. Cinch the wraps until tight. Pull on the standing line and the taut line hitch should grip the loaded line. Pass the free end of the line through or around the object to be secured, for example, through the eye of a fishhook.
Then, wrap the free end of the line around the other side of the line about five or six times. Pass the free end of the line through the triangular opening next to the object being secured, and then pass the free end of the line through the large loop you just created by going through the small triangle. If you are tying this one with fishing line, spit on the line before tightening to lubricate it so that the friction does not cause heat damage to the line.
Tighten the knot, trim off any extra line and enjoy your day fishing. The water knot safely secures webbing, flat belts, and most types of straps together. To tie the water knot, start with a loose overhand knot in the end of one strap. Pass the other strap in the opposite direction so it mirrors the route of the overhand knot on the first strap.
Take the ends of the two straps and pull the knot tight. The Rolling Hitch adds a leg to an existing line. This hitch is the basic knot behind a Taut Line Hitch, but it can be added to any existing line. The Rolling hitch was often used historically to hook more dogs to a dog sled main line. Wrap the free end of one rope around the main rope to create a Half Hitch.
Make a second Half Hitch and then wrap over the entire knot to finish with a final Half Hitch to the other side from your starting place. The Prusik Knot creates a loop that can be used as an ascender or decender. Tie a loop in the short rope that is secured with a solid knot like a Square Knot. Now, wrap the loop around the long rope three times, making certain that each wrap lies flat against the long rope.
Pass the loop of short rope under itself and pull it tight. As long as there is weight on the loop, the Prusik will grip the long rope.
