Pink Fishing Rods
Fishing is a sport for everyone; however there aren't too many products available with color patterns designed to peak a women's interest. The one's that are more colorful, or pink, tend to be smaller, lack practicality, and are more suited for kids rather than an actual fishing enthusiast. If you're a female fishing enthusiast or just someone looking for a colorful pink fishing rod we've found some good options for you to look into.
Okuma Calynn
This hot pink fishing rod is actually designed for use in saltwater applications but it can be used anywhere. The Okuma Calynn offers a single piece, strong rod, capable of tossing heavier lures, and being able to handle real fishing regardless of species. The rod is rated a bit heavier than most freshwater applications call for with the medium version being closer to a medium-heavy or heavy when comparing to bass fishing rods.
The biggest challenge with the Okuma Calynn rod is sourcing one and getting it to Canada (if you live up here). There are many for sale through american fishing outfitters but shipping to Canada has proven difficult. Production of this rod has also been discontinued by Okuma. Some can still be found at the link below:
Okuma Fin Chaser X Series
The new X series Fin Chaser rods by Okuma come in a wide variety of bright colours including pink! For the price of these pink rod and reel combos and the different length options available as well as being 2 piece the Fin Chaser is an excellent option for the casual or experienced angler.
Much like the Calynn, shipping to Canada will be your biggest challenge with the X Series Fin Chaser. Check them out at the link below:
Penn Passion II
The Penn Passion spinning rod and reel combo is one of the only easily findable options in Canada for a pink fishing rod. While this rod and reel is not a hot pink color it is a sleek rose gold which looks quite nice.
While the look is nice the price tag with the Penn Passion rod and reel combo is extremely high. For the same price a much higher grade rod and reel could be purchased but if pink is a must have than this could be the rod for you. For more details and to purchase from a Canadian store check the link below:
Lunkerhunt AUX
Lunkerhunt's AUX Pink fishing rod and reel combo is an american made 2-piece setup with a price tag between the Zebco Roam & Penn Passion. While this setup is made in america, Lunkerhunt is shipping to Canada making this an easy to obtain option.
These pink fishing rods can also be found at select Canadian Tire. Check them out at the link below:
Zebco Roam
The Zebco Roam is a brand of rods with all kinds of bright colours including pink! While we would consider the Zebco Roam rod and reel combo more of a beginner or introductory setup the rod is robust and the reel could be replaced with one of higher grade and smoother drag to improve performance considerably.
Unlike the other options on this list the pink Zebco Roam rods are available in Canada and easily attainable. The cost for this combo is quite affordable compared to the other options on this list.
Available at Cabela's, Sail, The Fishin' Hole, Pete's Pro Tackle, & More!
Ugly Stik GX2 Ladies
Not so much of a pink fishing rod but a black fishing rod with some pink mixed in. The ugly stik gX2 ladies is another option that is readily available in Canada.
Shimano Lipstix
Another option but more difficult to find. Be sure to get the correct size as the Lipstix doubles as a "kids rod" offering a 4' 6" version.

Women In Angling History
When New Wave Fishing Academy was started it was based around the mission of helping everyone become more successful anglers and especially those who do not have the family, friends, or easily accessible opportunities to push them into the sport! From critics online challenging their skills as anglers, to talking down or belittling their accomplishments, there are a lot of unnecessary hurdles for women and young girls to get into fishing. These hurdles are not set up by those that represent the majority of the members in the industry but unfortunately they are often the loudest voice.
To combat this we started the "Women In Angling" blog series in 2022 to celebrate the women who love fishing, highlight female ambassadors and role models for the sport of fishing, and share their stories for those that just need a little push or someone to look towards to get into this sport we all love!

Fishing For Ladies
New Wave Fishing Academy is an educational platform for the recreational fishing industry that allows everyone to learn how to catch fish; virtually. Not catching fish on outings is a sure way to keep new anglers from coming back to the sport BUT most who go fishing have no idea where to start or how to find success without HOURS of trial and error on the water that nobody has. Before you ever get to the water you can learn how to turn fishing trips into catching trips with our online fishing educational resources.
