A quality fishing rod gives you greater casting accuracy, improved sensitivity, and better control when fighting fish. The wrong rod, on the other hand, can result in missed strikes, poor hooksets, or general frustration on the water. That’s why we’ve carefully curated a selection of fishing rods in Australia that you can rely on. Built to last, easy to use, and well-matched to our unique environments.

Types of Fishing Rods We Stock

At Rehfisch & Co., we offer spinning rods, baitcaster rods, surf rods, fly fishing rods, boat rods, and more. Spinning rods are great all-rounders, especially for beginners. They're ideal for everything from estuary fishing to inshore lure casting. Pair your spinning rod with one of our high-quality fishing reels and you’ve got a reliable setup ready to go.

Baitcaster rods are better suited to experienced anglers chasing cod, barra or bass. They offer more control and accuracy but require some practice to master. These rods work perfectly with our range of precision baitcaster reels.

If you prefer fly fishing, we also stock premium fly fishing rods tailored for both freshwater and saltwater use. Whether you’re drifting dry flies in a stream or targeting bream in an estuary, our fly rods are lightweight, balanced, and responsive. Pair them with our fly fishing lures and you're ready to go.

For those targeting bigger fish or casting longer distances, our surf rods and offshore boat rods provide power, durability, and casting performance. These are built to handle heavier fishing lures, bigger species, and rougher conditions. Add a sounder from our fish finders range to locate structures and schools, and you have a complete setup for a productive day on the water.

You can buy fishing rods online or visit our Ballarat fishing shop for expert advice, product demos, and in-person support.

FAQs

What is the best fishing rod for beginners?

A 6 to 7-foot medium-action spinning rod is ideal for beginners. It’s versatile, easy to cast, and suits species like bream and trout. Pair it with a basic reel and lures for a reliable starter setup. We stock beginner-friendly rods and can help you choose the right one.

Can I buy fishing rods online and get them shipped anywhere in Australia?

Yes, we ship fishing rods Australia-wide. All orders are securely packaged to prevent damage in transit. Whether you’re in a capital city or remote location, your rod will arrive ready to use. Our team is here to help if you need advice before or after purchase.

What’s the difference between a spinning rod and a baitcaster rod?

Spinning rods are beginner-friendly and great for lighter lures. Baitcaster rods offer more control and accuracy, especially with heavier setups. They're better suited for experienced anglers targeting species like cod and barramundi. We can help you compare both options and find the best fit for your needs.

Do you sell fly fishing rods as well?

Yes, we stock fly fishing rods for both freshwater and saltwater. Options vary in weight and length depending on your target species and environment. Whether you’re new to fly fishing or upgrading your setup, we can help you pair a fly rod with the right reel and fly fishing lures.

What should I consider when buying a fishing rod?

Think about species, location, and technique. Rod length, action, and power all affect casting and hook-setting. Short rods suit boats, long rods are better for surf, and medium-action rods are great all-rounders. If you’re unsure, our team will help you make the right choice.

Do you offer combos with reels and lures included?

Yes, we offer rod and reel combos, plus full fishing kits with lures and line. Combos are carefully matched for balance and ease of use. They’re perfect for beginners or anyone after a ready-to-go setup. You can also build your own combo with help from our team.
