Boat rods are a type of fishing rod that has been designed specifically for saltwater fishing from a boat. However, there are several synonyms for boat rods that are commonly used in the fishing industry. These synonyms include trolling rods, offshore rods, deep sea rods, and big game rods. Trolling rods are used when trolling from a boat, while offshore rods are designed to handle larger fish species found in deeper waters. Deep sea rods are specifically designed to handle the extreme pressures of deep-sea fishing, while big game rods are used for catching large game fish such as marlin and tuna. Regardless of the synonym used, all of these rods are designed to withstand the harsh marine environment and provide anglers with the power needed to land big fish.
