Fishing

When you’re picking out a new rod, the rod must match whatever reel you have or plan to buy. A casting rod matches up with a baitcasting reel, and a spinning rod matches up with a spinning reel.

As a beginner, you don’t want to spend too much money for your initial rod, but you also need something that will get the job done.

The primary purpose of a telescopic rod is portability. A telescopic rod works like a telescope, which when collapsed is small and easy to carry around but provides the necessary length when extended.

When it comes to price, there’s a big difference between a cheap rod and an expensive rod. However, there is much less of a difference between a medium-priced rod, and a high-priced rod, so you don’t need to break the bank to find a high-quality rod that will have you fishing for years to come.

The best-rated saltwater spinning reels can cost well over $1000, so if you’re a serious saltwater angler, you’re going to have to spend a pretty penny for the cream of the crop.

Below we’ll look at the 7 best spincast reels you should consider adding to your gear set. When researching spincast reels, there are a few main features to pay attention to gear ratio, ball bearings, and drag system.
