		<description><![CDATA[A spinning rod is probably one of the easier types of fishing rods to use. Spinning rods are one of the most commonly used rod types do to the fact they are so versatile. They make a great choice for some one just starting out. Should you be planning on fishing with light gear 1/32 to 1/4 ounce in weight they are what you need in order to cast these light lures. A spinning outfit makes it possible to cast small spinners, baits, lures and other light “fishing gear” that are very difficult to cast with baitcasting gear if you could cast them at all. You can even use a spinning rod too fish with a fly if you like. All you need to do is attach a clear plastic casting bubble that you use for weight. When selecting your spinning rod, consider these features: •Material. The best spinning rods are made of the same material as the best fly rods high-modulus graphite. There are some nice fiberglass models available if you are on a budget, however they are a little heavier. Not only does a high- modulus rod give you excellent casting performance, its lightweight allows you to cast with less effort. You will enjoy this if you plan to spend all day on the water. •Length. The tendency in spinning rod selection, as in fly-casting, is towards the longer rods. These longer rods are necessary if you are going to be making longer casts. On large western streams,....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Watch the latest videos on YouTube.com Rod Action: Rod Action is the term used to describe how much of the rod bends when pressure is put on the tip. A fast action rod will bend in only the top third or less of the rod. A medium or moderate action will bend in the top half. A slow action will bend starting in the lower third of the rod. Sometimes slow action rods are termed &#8216;parabolic&#8217;, meaning the bend of the rod is similar throughout the length. These descriptions are subjected to the type of rod you may be talking about at the time; a fast action fly rod or steelhead rod will bend much lower and more easily than a fast action bass rod or offshore rod. Most bass rod actions are fast to very fast because this action generally provides better sensitivity and faster power for hook setting. By faster power I mean the rod &#8216;shuts off&#8217; faster, or the bend ends higher on the blank, which means you don&#8217;t have to move the rod as far on the hook set to get into the stiffer part of the Rod. Fast action rods are great for most applications where a short to medium casting distance is involved and single hooks are the rule, such as corky and bait fishing. Medium and medium-fast rods will usually provide a little more casting distance and still provide adequate hook setting power. These actions are often used for applications that involve treble....]]></description>
