How To
Why should you use a spinning rod?
A Spinning Rod is used when you want to cast your lure into the water without getting out of the boat. If you don't want your casts to take too long, a spinning rod is a good choice. The spinning rod allows you to cast from any angle and still have control over your line. There are three major components to the rod; handle, butt and reel section. The handle is where you hold the rod and grip the shaft. The rod's tip is attached to the hook at the butt section. Finally, the reel seat holds the reel onto which the line is attached. There are many types of rods today. Some are specifically designed for certain fishing types, such as casting and trolling. Others are intended to be used for different purposes, such fly fishing or spin fishing, as well as bait fishing.
The type of fish you intend to catch will determine the type of rod that you choose. For example, if you intend to catch large predatory species like pike or bass, you'll need a heavy-duty fishing rod. If you are fishing for smaller species, such a trout or salmon, a lighter weight rod may work better. You could even go so far as to buy several rod sizes depending on how big the fish you hope to catch is.
Spinning Rods can be used for more than just freshwater fishing. They are commonly used for saltwater fishing too. Saltwater spinning is more heavy than its freshwater counterparts. It requires stronger materials that can withstand saltwater. Saltwater spinners have a longer rod length and a bigger diameter. This allows them to cast farther distances. You should be aware that saltwater fishing can have its drawbacks. Saltwater spinning reels come without reels, which is a big difference from freshwater rods. Instead, you must purchase one separately. You will also find them quite expensive. A spinning rod is an option if you like to catch bigger fish.
Spin fishing refers to angling where a spin fisherman uses a spinning reel to cast a weighted bait into the water. When the lure is in the water, it will spin around the weighted central point. This causes the lure move erratically through the water, making fish difficult to spot. The lure could also be mistaken for food by fish and they may begin to eat it. The lure will therefore attract more fish. The lure will then attract more fish to the angler's reel. Once the lure is pulled, the fisherman can keep going until he catches the desired number of fish.
