Spinning rod

The choice of a rod for fishing will usually be between several major categories such as casting fishing rods and spinning fishing rods. We will focus in particular on this latter model, for its versatility of use.

Spinning fishing rods present many advantages. For example, it will be easy to handle and comes in many lengths and powers. A rod for spinning fishing will easily reach long casting distances.

Here are some names:

• Spinning Canne Westin W3

• Rod spinning Spro Freestyle Litz
• Rod spinning Shimano Beastmaster Fx
• Rod Spinning Illex Night Shadows
• Spinning Canne Sakura Ionizer
• Spinning canne Daiwa Prorex
• Rod Spinning St Croix Mojo
• Spinning Canne Hearty Rise Red Shadow

By the way, whole brands have a big reputation throughout their range. We especially think of a spinning canne Abu Garcia or a spinning canne St Croix.

In this maze of choice, it will be necessary to take into consideration many aspects to make the right choice. Between power, action, manufacturing or even the quality of its rings, you will have to rack your brains to make the right choice.

We will already try to guide you a little bit between a rod spinning shimano beastmaster, a spinning Sakura Ionizer finesse or a spinning Spro xtender.

Why are they called spinning rods?

This name comes in direct opposition to casting rods. Indeed, it's the name of the reel that has given a different name to the rods. These fishing rods will therefore host a spinning reel, which is located below the rod.

The fixed spool, which only spins during the fight, has allowed the development of a series of rods that will have very specific benefits. For example, the spinning canne Westin W3 will come in many lengths for long casts.

The rings will be larger in order to cast your lure as far as possible. The Shimano Beastmaster FX spinning canne will thus have lengths that can exceed 3m for easy fishing from the shore.

They can be of different qualities depending on your use. They will be specially treated for sea use to equip a tenryu injection sp xh while freshwater use does not require this.

A rod for spinning fishing also has its handle. It may be full for use on your entire forearm, in EVA foam or cork as on the St Croix Mojo spinning cannes.

In addition, a spinning canne may also be small accessories that can make your life easier. On thinks especially of a cover to protect it front rubbing, such as those in neoprene on the Sakura Ionizer spinning cannes.

It can also be small details and technical innovations. Thus the Spro Freestyle Xtender spinning range has a slot in the heel to fold the rod into 2 for transport.

Major brands and manufacturers

Despite a clear need for technical expertise, many brands have developed their own vision of a rod known as spinning. From all backgrounds, from all countries, it has been necessary to adapt models for all techniques and all species of predators, including sea and freshwater.

The United States, with its audience of enthusiasts from father to son, offers a huge choice with brands that are renowned all over the world. Americans will thus have the choice of a St Croix spinning canne just like an Abu Garcia spinning model.

Japan, also a country of fishermen, is not lacking with brands that have established themselves through their quality and unique know-how. The mastery of carbon material and the latest generation blank creation factories have given them a huge advantage over the competition.

The European market is not lacking either with series of rods even more adapted to our situation. To fish with some very French techniques or species specific to our region of the world, a series of Hearty Rise Red Shadow rod or an Illex Night Shadows spinning will have a certain advantage.

Daiwa with its range of Daiwa Prorex spinning canne specific to Europe is not being outdone, neither is Sakura which offers a wide range of products for all anglers and all horizons.

Questions to ask yourself to make the right choice

In order to choose your future rod correctly, it will be important to ask very important questions. Indeed, fishing is full of small details that will need to be remembered so that your days remain a pleasure.

The length of the rod is probably one of the most important aspects. It needs to take into account your casting needs, the areas where you regularly practice and how comfortable you are using them. A long rod will thus be comfortable for casting far in open spaces, while the opposite is true in a restricted spot.

The power of the rod is the second point that cannot be overlooked. It gives you the range of use of the rod. If you don't know the weight of your lures, it's then time to take the kitchen scale. Once you have a clearer idea, you can choose a range that suits you.

The action will be the third important point. We opt for very fast actions, called extra fast, for fishing with soft lures to scratch. We will choose intermediate actions named Fast or tip for more versatile practices. We reserve softer actions for the use of swimming fish, whether for surface use or crankbaits reaching various depths.

The rings can be the last point. They should necessarily be adapted to the line you will use and designed for use in your fishing environment, especially when it is salty.
