Here you will find a wide range of spinning rods from well-known manufacturers. A multitude of spinning rods in varied price ranges, lengths, and for different casting weights.
Baitcasting rods are available for light fishing with small, neat low-profile reels, to the heaviest spinning fishing with sturdy spinning reels when salmon in the river, hefty pikes or others provide the resistance. Action, or action, tells how much the blank bends under pressure.
"Extra fast" means that the tip bends much easier than the rest of the relatively stiff blank. "Fast" bends about a third of the blank. "Moderate" bends about half of the blank and "slow" describes a parabolic bend where just over three-quarters of the blank is compliant. In Swedish, terms such as tip-, half-, and full action are sometimes used. Contact us and we will help you choose the right length, action, and casting weight.
Here, we’ve categorized the products based on which fish you want to hook. We’ve relied on what manufacturers specify, but also on experience of what usually works. The list could almost be endless, and many things work for more species than we’ve listed, so don’t be afraid to experiment.
Rod length
Rod length grouped in feet + cm.
Are you a beginner and need guidance?
For regular fishing with a casting rod, you can easily group the lengths like this:
5-6 feet - Children/juniors 6-7 feet - Easy to handle - Perfect for boats. 7-9 feet - Most popular, especially for fishing from shore. 9+ feet - Coastal fishing and river fishing, etc.
Max casting weight
Casting weights simply refer to the weight of the lure a rod is intended for. A rod with a casting weight of, for example, 10-30 grams is optimal for casting lures within that weight range. Exceeding it risks breaking the rod during casting, while using lighter lures makes casting difficult.

Suitable reel size
Here, we’ve marked which reel sizes are suitable for this specific rod. The type of reel to use with a rod depends on whether it’s a spinning, casting, saltwater, or similar rod, so if you’re unsure,feel free to double-check. That the same rod can have multiple reel sizes depends on the fishing style you’re pursuing.
Are you a beginner looking for a new rod? Check out the rods in the Medium and Medium-Fast categories. These rods bend a bit more than the so-called 'fast' rods, which simplifies both casting and fighting ability if a fish bites.
More about rod actions Action is a term for how the blank bends when pressure is applied to the tip and is described in English as follows:
Extra Fast (Ultra Fast): means the tip bends much more easily than the rest of the blank, which is relatively stiff.
Fast: bends just over a third of the blank.
Medium-Fast: bends about half of the blank.
Medium (Moderate): bends about 3/4 of the blank.
Slow: describes a parabolic bend of almost the entire blank.
Common simplified Swedish terms to describe action are tip-, half-, and full-action.
Different actions suit different fishing. 'Extra Fast' and 'Fast' provide more feel to the lure and faster hooksets, but the stiff blank reduces fighting ability and doesn’t offer the same 'slingshot effect' on casts as 'Medium' and 'Slow' actions.
Handle type
Refers to the material the rod’s handle is made of. Cork and EVA (foam) are the most common types.

Rod length when transported
Refers to how many centimeters long the disassembled rod is. This can be good to know if you’re traveling or packing it into a motorcycle bag.
Spinning rods are fishing rods made to be used with multiplier reels or enclosed reels, i.e., reels that are mounted on top of the blank. Underneath the reel seat of the spinning rod, there is a trigger that you can grip with your index finger to achieve better stability and grip during fishing.
Spinning rods are especially popular for heavier fishing such as pike and sea fishing. In recent years, however, spinning rods equipped with low-profile reels have become increasingly popular even for lighter fishing. Influences from bass fishing in the USA have significantly affected our Scandinavian use of spinning rods, and today a spinning rod is included in the arsenal of most perch and zander anglers.
What do you fish with spinning rods - casting weight and length?
Just like with spinning reels, it is essentially the casting weight of the spinning rod that determines its area of use. For pike fishing, casting weights from 80-200g are common, while a spinning rod for jig fishing for perch is typically rated between 5-20g.
The length of a spinning rod usually ranges from 6-9 feet where a longer rod provides better casting lengths but a shorter rod makes it easier to control the bait and is more suitable if, for example, you are fishing from a boat.
