Fishing Spinning Rods Information

Look For When Purchasing a Spinning Rod

Your choice of fishing rod reel combos and line will depend on the fishing technique that you choose. It is very common for most fishermen that vary their fishing techniques to carry several different fishing rod combos that are already set up with specific lures or live bait rigs.

My fishing preferences are spinning rod reel combos and much of my fishing experience comes while using these outfits and my recommendations for rod selection included here will be based on my fishing experiences.

Fishing Rod Combos Selecting

the Right Rod and Reel Can

Make the Difference!

Rods

If you on doing a lot of casting and trolling with baits and lures in sizes 1/4 to 5/8 ounces you will want to select a spinning rod that is 5 1/2 to 6 foot in length that is medium power and fast action. This rod is the best choice for general purpose fishing and will an important decision you need to make when you start the selection process when you go to select your fishing rod reel combos.

If your fishing preference is casting small lures and jigs that weigh from 1/16 to 3/8 ounce a good choice in rods would be 5 to 5 1/2 foot light power fast action spinning rods. This rod is good choice to propel your light lures and jigs because the rod has very good flex on your back cast giving you longer casting distances. This rod flexes easily on the back cast, so it works well in propelling light lures and baits.

How To Clean Your Spinning Reel

Casting and trolling with large deep diving crank baits and live bait rigs weighing more than 1/2oz is easiest accomplished with fishing rod combos that include a 5 1/2 to 6 foot medium power, fast action bait casting rod. Because this rod has more backbone than most spinning rods, it is better suited for heavier lures and rigs.If you are a live bait fisherman you are going to want to look for a more robust fishing rod reel combos.

Look for a 6 to 7 foot light power medium action spinning rod. These rods are a better choice for live bait fishing than shorter and stiffer rods because of there casting distance.If you are going to be targeting a soft biting fish species for example the walleye, then sensitivity needs to be a important consideration in your selection when you shopping for quality fishing rod combos.

The Best Fishing Rods For Any Occasion

When sensitivity is your main objective then you want a fast action rod because slower action rods are not designed for sensitivity. Most serious fisherman prefer graphite or boron rods because they transmit vibrations better then fiberglass rods.
Other important features that improve a rods ability to transmit vibrations include a blank that extends all the way through the rod handle with one piece construction, and light weight single foot line guides.

Double foot guides add weight and tend to restrict the rods action.Please feel free to use any of our recommendations on selecting rod reel combos we have included on this webpage.
