Abu Garcia Cardinal X spinning combo

The choice of a spinning rod is usually determined by casting weight and rod length. Casting weight is the manufacturer’s recommendation for how heavy lures you can fish with. Rod length is often measured in feet (1’ = 30.48 cm). For lighter fishing, like perch or trout, a rod with a casting weight of 5-15g and a length up to 7’ is recommended. For all-round fishing, such as perch, zander, or sea trout, a rod with a casting weight of 10-40g and a length around 7-9’ is ideal.
