BERLIN (AP)—Germany coach Joachim Loew plans to resist the urge to experiment and will start with his most experienced players in Dortmund friendly against Italy in Dortmund.

Five Borussia Dortmund players, including debutant Sven Bender, defender Mats Hummels and midfielder Mario Goetze, were called up for the friendly.

However, with early qualification for the 2012 European Championship a stated priority, Loew has indicated they may have to bide their time before as he seeks to build a settled team.

“A team which has already played together will take to the field,” Loew said Sunday.

The head coach is likely to have a full squad to choose from. Real Madrid midfielder Sami Khedira will travel despite concerns over a knee he injured in the team’s Spanish Cup win over Sevilla in midweek.

“Khedira shouldn’t be a problem for the game on Wednesday,” Loew said.

If the former Stuttgart player misses out, Bender could receive his debut in a defensive midfield role, especially as Loew has postponed a possible comeback for Michael Ballack until possibly after the games against Kazakhstan and Australia in March.

“I was surprised to be picked,” Bender said. “First of all I’m happy to be involved. There are so many good players here that you can learn more from them.”

Initially, Loew wants to observe the 21-year-old Dortmund ball-winner in training.

“I want to see him and test him for two or three days,” the coach said.

Marcel Schmelzer and Kevin Grosskreutz complete the Bundesliga leader’s quintet, and former Germany coach and player Franz Beckenbauer says it “logical” for them to play.

“The best should play in the national team, even if they’re young,” Beckenbauer said.

Loew has ruled out moving Schweinsteiger into a more attacking position, where he currently plays for Bayern Munich.

“In attack we have (Mesut) Oezil, (Toni) Kroos, Goetze, (Lewis) Holtby,” Loew said. “And Bastian in the (defensive) six-position gives us a lot of ball contact, stability and organization.

“Starting with the Italians is a very interesting game. I’m sure we will learn a lot.”

Today’s fishing rods have incorporated modern features that are not typical of the more primitive cane pole. Modern fishing rods contain reels, which aid in the retrieval of fish caught in its bait.

A much-sophisticated feature is the spinning rod where the entire shaft of the rod except the handle can move around on its axis to allow flexibility when fish caught on snare bait struggles through the water.

Like the classic cane fishing rods, the fishing gadget is thick at the handle (bottom) and is tapered and thinner at the tip. This very basic design allows handling stability and flexible movement of the entire length of the shaft.

Types of Fishing Rods and Specifications

A typical fishing rod measures 6 and 16 feet (2 and 5 m) and vary in capability to tolerate strain in fishing activity. The length has a lot to do with withstanding force exerted by the fish to the pole and determines for the most part the performance of rods used for angling.

Cane Poles

Cane poles are one of the smallest and less sophisticated gadgets in fishing. It is usually made of bamboo or other flexible wood material with the most basic fly line attached to it.

Unlike other more sophisticated fishing rods, cane poles do not usually contain reels or its equivalent to be used for reeling in or retrieving fish caught on bait. This very same action is known as angling.

Spinning Rods

These types of rods are the most popular today. They can be used either for heavyweight or lightweight fish although they were proven best for trout, walleye and bass fish. They vary in measurements from 5 and 7 feet (1.5 and 2.5 m).

Spinning poles are commonly used in bass fishing competition accounting for their flexibility and tolerance to stress. They accommodate bigger and tougher fly lines and stabilize them to avoid line tangles during uncoiling of float lines.

Jigging Rods

These rods are best for heavy lures and baits especially when reaching around 180 to 200 feet under the ocean’s surface. They are made of fine, solid materials which accounts to their heaviness. The use of jigging rods is specifically due to alternating currents during the fishing activity.

Some oceans have erratic undersea current. That is why the bait and fly lines should be kept in place. Lures are also disturbed and cause confusion among fish if the lines are not long and heavy enough to withstand and tolerate water currents under the sea.

These rods are best for target fishes usually found dwelling at the bottom of the sea such as halibut and cods.
