Spinning rods

Spinning rods are indispensable for those who actively fish with lures for predatory fish such as pike, perch or trout. Thanks to their versatility and precision, they are suitable for various fishing conditions and techniques, both from the shore and from the boat. With the right combination of length, casting weight and reel, you have a powerful and well-balanced set in your hands for hours of fishing enjoyment.

What is a spinning rod?

A spinning rod is specially designed for fishing with lures in combination with a spinning reel. The term 'spinning rod' comes from the technique where you actively retrieve the lure, also called ‘spinning’. These rods vary in length from 1.70 to over 3 meters, and in casting weight from ultralight to heavy – ideal for various fish species and conditions. Note: a spinning rod is not suitable for a baitcasting reel, for that you use a baitcaster rod.

Which spinning rod suits your fishing style?

For fishing perch and trout, you usually use light rods with a casting weight up to 20 grams. Think of small spinners, plugs and softbaits. If you are after pike or fishing on larger waters, rods with a casting weight between 20 and 60 grams are perfect. For fishing with heavy lures for large pike or in saltwater, choose a rod with a casting weight above 60 grams.

The right rod length mainly depends on where you fish. From the shore, a longer rod (2.40 to 3.00 meters) is beneficial for long casts. From the boat or in small spots, a shorter rod is more practical and easier to handle.

Combining a spinning rod with the right reel

A good reel makes the difference. For an average spinning rod of 2.40 meters, a size 2500 reel is ideal. This keeps the set well balanced. Make sure the reel releases line smoothly – important for constant casting – and is light enough for comfortable fishing over long periods.

Complete spinning rod sets for beginners and convenience

For those who want to get started quickly, handy spinning rod sets are available. These sets are carefully composed with a rod, reel and often already equipped with fishing line, lures and steel leaders. You only need to go to the water’s edge. Ideal for beginner anglers or those who just want convenience.

Tips for choosing your first spinning rod

Just started spinning? Then choose an all-round model of 2.40 or 2.70 meters with a casting weight around 25 grams. This allows you to fish on many waters and use various types of lures. It is a perfect balance between power, casting range and control over your bait.
