The dominance of fishing rods and reels in the global fishing equipment market
Fishing rod and fishing reel segments are typically considered the dominant segments in terms of market share. Fishing rods are essential tools for anglers, and they come in various types, materials, lengths, and power ratings. The fishing rod segment holds a significant share of the global fishing equipment market due to its widespread use across different fishing styles and target species. Whether it’s freshwater fishing, saltwater fishing, fly fishing, or ice fishing, anglers require suitable fishing rods to cast their lines and handle fish effectively.
In addition, Fishing reels are another crucial component of fishing equipment that is widely used by anglers. They enable anglers to retrieve and control fishing lines smoothly, providing a mechanical advantage while catching fish. The fishing reel segment is dominant due to its necessity across various fishing techniques and its role in determining line retrieval speed, drag system, and line capacity.
