Casting or Spinning

A casting rod carries the reel on top and suits baitcaster and multiplier reels, which give more control with heavy lures and big baits. A spinning rod carries a fixed spool reel underneath and is easier for light lures and long casts.

Matching Weight and Power

Light casting rods handle finesse rigs and small hard baits for perch and zander, while heavy rods throw big jerkbaits and swimbaits for pike. Our guide to the best pike rods compares the leading predator rods.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a casting rod?

A casting rod has the reel seat on top of the handle and a trigger underneath, and it is used with a baitcaster or multiplier reel.

Can a spinning reel go on a casting rod?

No, a casting rod's guides sit on top of the blank and are sized for a baitcaster, so a fixed spool reel does not suit it.

Why use a casting rod for pike?

Casting rods and baitcasters give more control when throwing heavy lures and big baits, and handle the strain of large fish well.

Where does the lowest price come from?

The lowest price comes from reputable online tackle shops with the item in stock, and each product page lists every one of them.
