What is a "spinning rod"?
A spinning rod is a type of fishing rod designed for use with a spinning reel. It is typically lighter and more flexible than other rods, making it easier to cast lures or bait accurately over longer distances. The spinning reel is mounted beneath the rod, allowing the line to unwind smoothly during the cast. Spinning rods are commonly used in both freshwater and saltwater fishing for catching a variety of fish, such as bass, trout, or panfish. They are known for being easy to use and are suitable for people with different levels of fishing experience.
