Key Differences Between Spinning Rods and Casting Rods Rod Design and Structure Spinning Rod Reel seat and guides facing downwards Guides taper from large to small as you move towards the rod tip Reel is oriented down and sits further off the rod Reel handle is positioned on the left (most common, even for right handed anglers) Casting Rod Reel seat and guides facing upwards Guides are relatively small throughout and do not have a drastic taper Reel is oriented up and sits directly on top of the rod Reel handle is positioned on the right (for right handed anglers) Reel Compatibility Spinning Rod Spinning rods are specifically designed to be fished strictly with spinning reels Casting Rod Casting rods are specifically designed to be fished with baitcaster or conventional style reels only Casting Technique and Control Spinning Rod & Reel Spinning setups are most commonly casted straight overhead, but can be used to pitch baits as well As line comes off the stationary spool, larger guides near the reel help control the line flow to reduce tangles Casting Rod & Reel Casting setups are often casted with a side-arm motion and are also used to precisely pitch baits to fish, i.e

Traditional baitcasters have a smaller opening on the level wind which does put the line back smoothly on the spool

My anger makes me want to just go right back to old faithful (mono), but I felt the benefit of no stretch, particularly with the hard plastic lure I was using

Swimbait anglers can take advantage of this by spending time on the water, chucking their favorite big baits and targeting shallow structure and depth transitions
