Spinning is a very beautiful form of fishing that attracts expert athletes and new enthusiasts from all over the world, and having the right rod to go with the type of spinning you are going to do is extremely important.
El type of spinning fishing rod What you choose will be in relation to whether you are going to do your fishing session on the beach, jetty, from a boat or in fresh waters such as rivers. That it will be necessary to make an investment in several of them? Maybe yes, but the investment will be worth it if they help you get just the fish you are looking for in your chosen space.
Types of Spinning Fishing Rods: What Factors to Consider
rod size
Among one of the factors to determine is the size of the spinning rod. Let us remember that, the longer it is, the greater the problem we can find in the action response of our lure. On the contrary, the shorter ones may not have the margin to reach great distances, but they will allow you to handle the bait more naturally, the bite being more sensitive.
At least for choose a suitable spinning rod between 210 centimeters and almost 4 meters long. A rod with two sections is good for long transfers or even for a boat, a single section perhaps when fishing on the beach and you do not have to travel long distances to do so.
Rod weight for good casts
The weight of the rod is another factor to keep in mind when choosing one for spinning. Depending on our area we can get them and handle weights in ounces or grams, remember that 1 ounce is equal to 28,34 grams. The weight of the cane will tell us:
- The minimum and maximum that we can use in our lures.
- The type of fish that we can fish depending on its size.
We must then make a calculation of both aspects to determine the appropriate weight of our spinning rod
rod power
In relation to this and the type of rod to select, let us remember that power is the force/resistance needed to bend the rod. An idea of classification of these, in Spanish, would be:
- ultralight
- Light
- Stockings-light
- Medium power
- average heavy
- ultra heavy
For fishing small species and in favorable conditions, we will opt for ultra or light ones. When we go to predators that put up a real fight, be they larger in size and the general conditions demand it of us, we will go on to greater powers.
Spinning Rod Action Type
We finish with the flexibility or action of it and its recovery, which will also determine the type of prey to which we dedicate our spinning rod and be able to do the nail to catch it.
very fast action: the bow of the cane bends only at the tip. Very sensitive to the work of fisherman.
Quick action: Similar to the previous one, but it flexes a little more.
medium action: here cane begins to bend from the middle.
slow action: where the reed flexes completely. Of worse sensitivity for the pin.
