Best Answer

a spinning rod uses a spinning reel - the type that you manually open the bail before casting and normally the reel is used hanging below the rod and they usually have a larger handle than casting reels which you press a button or bar on the reel before casting. I find that spinnig reels are much easier to use.

Spinning rods are designed to work with spinning reels, which are typically mounted on the bottom side of the rod. Casting rods, on the other hand, are designed for casting reels, where the reel sits on top of the rod. The line guides on spinning rods are typically larger and face downward, while casting rods have smaller line guides that face upward.

Can you use a spin rod for float fishing?

Any medium power rod with a fast action is good for general bass fishing (casting lures or using live bait). This is usually paired with a reel capable of spooling a 100 yards of 10lb line (or 20 lb braid). Bass fishing also has a number of techniques that can be used (such as flipping, pitching, frogging) that have specialty rods that can be used. Most people prefer to use a rod length of 6'6" though longer and shorter rods can be used depending on the situation.

How long should a salmon rod be?

Unlike regular spinning or baitcasting rods, fly rods are designed as "levers" that bend so they can create a load that in turn pulls a heavy "weighted" fly line along with the weightless leader and fly along for the ride to the target (ie. the fish). So what is means to you is that the longer the rod, the more "leverage" will you will have in heaving that line to create a load or "bend" in your rod for your cast. So, if you are going to be doing a lot of "roll casting" where your line is going in the water most of the time, you will find an 8 foot or longer rod better suited for roll casting. Many of the concepts of leverage with even longer rods and roll casting are incorporated into "Spey Casting" which typically uses rods 11 feet or longer! Short fly rods? In addition to my small army of 8.5 foot to 9 foot rods, I do use 7.5 and 6.5 foot ultralight rods (3 and 4 weights) for casting into tight brush in small creeks....the don't roll cast all that well, but for small creeks it does not matter anyway. I am also using a new 7'10" Bass Tournament Qualified 8 weight Fly Rod from Bass Pro called the HEAT that is a faster action rod and its unique taper and design still allows to make decent rolls casts for a rod that is under 8 feet. So I would recommend that you put heavy consideration into where you are going to do the majority of your fly fishing and types of casts you will need to make before you purchase your next fly rod. Most local fly shops have professionals on staff who should be proficient in helping you choose a rod that is right for you. By the way, many of these places have a casting pond nearby and will allow you try the rod before you buy!
