A casting rod is a type of fishing rod designed to be used with a baitcasting or spin cast reel, which sits on top of the rod. These rods feature upward-facing line guides and are engineered for anglers who prioritize precision, control, and power, especially when targeting larger or more aggressive fish.
What is the difference between a casting rod and a spinning rod?
A casting rod is designed for use with baitcasting or spin cast reels, with guides on top, offering more accuracy and control for experienced anglers. Spinning rods are easier for beginners and pair with spinning reels.
What size casting rod should I use for bass fishing?
Most bass anglers prefer rods between 6’6” and 7’6”, with medium to heavy power and fast action for versatile performance.
Are casting rods good for saltwater fishing?
Yes, but choose a rod specifically rated for saltwater use to withstand corrosion and heavier line/lure weights.
Can beginners use casting rods?
While casting rods offer better control, they have a steeper learning curve. Beginners may struggle with backlash when using baitcasting reels.
