Collection: Spinning Rods for UK Predator & Trout Fishing

A spinning rod is used with a fixed spool reel and is commonly used for lure fishing with spinners, plugs, soft plastics, jigs and metal lures.

Spinning rods can be used for perch, pike, trout, zander, bass, pollock, mackerel and wrasse, depending on the rod strength and lure weight.

A spinning rod is designed for a fixed spool reel, which sits below the rod. A casting rod is designed for a baitcasting reel, which sits on top of the rod.

Shorter spinning rods can offer better control in tight spaces, while longer rods can help with casting distance and line control, especially on larger waters or coastal marks.

Yes, spinning rods can be used for sea fishing, especially when targeting bass, pollock, mackerel and wrasse with lures. A suitable sea spinning rod should match the lure weight and fishing conditions.

The casting weight should match the lures you plan to use. Light rods suit small spinners and soft plastics, while heavier rods are better for larger plugs, jigs and predator lures.
