A fly rod is a fishing rod constructed for fly-fishing. It is in broad principle made like any other fishing rod, but there are some major differences, and an ordinary fishing rod can't be used for fly-fishing.
The rod is typically very lightweight and thin compared to most fishing rods. It's still a thin, tapered tube made from carbon fiber. It has rings to control the line (AKA guides) and a handle as well as a reel seat where you mount the reel, but that's also about where the similarity ends.

This article tries to explain in simple terms what it is to fish with a fly - fly-fish or flyfish.

This new section of small articles is aimed at the absolute beginner or the one who doesn't fly-fish or tie flies, and has no idea about the concepts of casting or fishing a fly.
