Spincasting Tackle

The spincasting tackle has become a popular fishing gear. The spincasting reel is mounted on top of a standard casting rod. The reel is covered with a metal or plastic housing. The fishing line comes out of a small hole in the front of the reel.



Spincasting represents a compromise between a spinning tackle and a baitcasting tackle. It is not suited for ultralight fishing. The ultralight lures are not heavy enough to pull the line through the hole in the reel. The minimum is about a six pound line and a three eights to five eights ounce lure should be used to be successful.

Spincasting should be considered if:

1. You use lures and baits in the six to fourteen pound line range.
2. You like reliability and durability of your equipment.
3. You don't need to cast a great distance.
4. You are not interested in ultralight fishing.

A good spincasting rod is inexpensive. If you are just starting out fishing, this might be a good choice. Spincasting is easy to learn.



High quality spincasting manufacturers are Zebco and Pro Staff. Spincasting combos (rod and reel) cost about $35-45.
