Spinning rods are fishing rods designed specifically for use with spinning reels. They are typically lightweight and flexible, allowing for better casting distance and accuracy. The guides on spinning rods are positioned on the underside, which helps prevent line tangles and allows for smooth line flow during casting and retrieval. These rods come in various lengths and power ratings, catering to different fishing styles and species. Anglers often choose spinning rods for their versatility, making them suitable for both freshwater and saltwater fishing. Popular brands include Shimano, Abu Garcia, and Daiwa, each offering a range of options for different skill levels.
