A Spinning Rod is used when fishing predatory fish such as perch, zander, trout and pike. From other types of fishing rods, spinning rods differ in that a constant lure guidance is made. The blinker feigns the fidgeting of a small fish to attract predators that feed on small fish. The small baitfish are at the end of the fishing lineattached. Except for a few details is one Spinning Rod like most fish rods constructed. A Spinning Rod consists of the handle, the blank and the roll holder. Spinning rods can be equipped optionally with multi-roles or stationary roles. Some additional details and a special handling of the rod allow this special fishing technique in combination.

Criteria to consider when choosing a Spinning Rod must be considered

Modern spinning rods are characterized by the fact that they offer the angler a high level of comfort. However, in order for the future fishing trips to be really successful, you must choose the Spinning Rod some criteria are considered. Only with a good overall construction can the desired fishing success be achieved. The handle and the blank of the new spinning rod must be high-quality processed, but also the quality and the characteristics of the role and the roll holder influence the catch success. Spinning rods should always be selected according to the fish to be fished and the bait used. For the angler to practice his hobby for hours without fatigue, the spinning rod must be well balanced.

The hand part of the fishing rodshould be made of a grippy material, wrapped with a grippy material or with a handle, for example made of cork, be equipped to achieve a better grip.

The term blank refers to the main part of the spinning rod. The properties of the blanks are crucial for a good and fast bite indication. For this purpose, the proportion of carbon fibers should be as high as possible and the proportion of resin should be low. Carbon fibers have the property of transmitting vibrations while resin dampens them. The blank takes over the lead while fishing. By means of the assembly with rings, the fishing line is guided from the roll to the rod tip. The different spinning rods differ in their speed and their flexibility. As a very fast and high-quality carbon rod, for example, the Angel Berger Tele Fishing SetPredator rod + roll are recommended.

Not only the blank of a spinning rod must convince with excellent properties. An equally important task must be assumed by the role holder and the role. As a rule, a stationary reel is used when fishing with a spinning rod. The fixed role guarantees easy handling of the fishing rodwhen ejecting over long distances. For fishing in the sea, however, spinning rods can also be equipped with multi-roles. The reels, which are equipped with spinning rods, have been specially designed for spinning. Stationary rollers and spinning reels differ in the way they are attached to the fishing rod. Multi roles are attached transversely to the rod. Stationary rollers, however, are mounted parallel to the spinning rod.

The casting weight given by the manufacturer gives the angler information about how strong the spinning rod is during ejection. A model with a casting weight (WG) of 50 – 100 g survives the ejection with a maximum load of 100 grams unscathed. However, the spinning rod should be loaded slightly below the upper limit to achieve longer throw distances. A spinning rod with a WG 60 should therefore be equipped with a maximum of 48 grams bait. The casting weight also provides information on how well the bait can be guided under the surface of the water and how sensitively the rod reacts. Fishing rod manufacturers usually give the casting weight for their models slightly lower, so that the spinning rod is more stable.

In length, the offered rods vary between 1.60 and 3.30 meters. Spinning rods with a length between 2.40 and 3 meters are most commonly used.

Various designs of spinning rods

Spinning rods are offered as telescopic and plug-in rods. These basic versions are additionally subdivided into further subcategories. These subcategories are single handed and two handed spinning rods.
