Spinning Rod
10 steps to buying a fishing rod
1) The type of fishing you'll be doing will dictate your rod requirements. So whether it's pike, salmon, trout, or see fishing, this will have a bearing on the rod you buy.
2) If the rod you're in the market for is just for a specific purpose, you will have different requirements to buying a rod that you'll use all the time. Find out what the best rods are for the needs you have.
3) If you're going to be fishing often, you may require a very different rod to if you're going once a year.
4) Depending on where you'll be located to fish - ie, standing in the river, on the river bank or on the side of the lake - then you may require a different sized rod.
5) For more control, many anglers prefer a heavier rod. Alternatively, you may prefer the benefits of a lighter rod, so try and few out for weight before you buy.
6) Make sure the rod you buy is comfortable, as you're going to be holding it for quite a long time. It's always best to try it out first hand than read a review in a magazine.
7) If you are buying an additional rod for a specific purpose, then make sure your existing reels from your main rod can be used. Otherwise you may have to spend more money on an extra reel.
Make sure you find the rod simple to assemble. And, while you're at it, to disassemble. You'll be doing this a lot, so try it out while wearing gloves to make sure you don't get in a fluster by the lake.
9) There are several brands to choose from, so do your homework. Ask friends and, more importantly, match up your requirements and preferences with the rods that are available. More critical than brand is the right specifications.
10) Don't skimp on cost, otherwise you can expect to fork out even more cash further down the line. A good quality rod will last for years and you'll enjoy using it. Go to the other end of the spectrum and you risk not enjoying fishing altogether.
So, are you now ready to buy? Have you decided whether you want fly fishing rods, spinning rods or something different?

Can you fish bass with a spinning rod?
Can you fish bass with a spinning rod? What is the average weight of a bass? Can you catch speckled trout with a small top water frog?
Also what do you think is the best all round fishing rod? What do you thik about a spinning rod, baitcasting rod, and a spincasting rod?
yes. l've gotten them up to 8lb on spin tackle though my preference is baitcasting gear. l don't use spincast.
topwater frog
speckled trout = brook trout, no.
speckled trout = spotted weakfish, no.
baitcast l use 90% or more of the time. spinning, the rest. both have their place and good qualities.
If you use a spinning rod....
