Awesome vid Kapono! Another easy way to tell the difference between a spinning and conventional rod is the eye size. Usually conventional rods have the same size eyes most of the way, and spinning rods will have a much bigger eye towards the bottom to allow your line to spin around a spinning reel.
Thanks for this great info, I’m going to be getting back into fishing, it’s been 40 years, my question is can I get a decent rod at Walmart? If not you have any suggestions? Thank you.
Heck yea get back into it! They have great rods for their price. For like 20 you can walk out of there with a solid fishing rod. I like the black beauty series of rods. Danny likes the shimano ones with the cork handles. If you want to spend a little more you can grab an ugly stick that will last you practically for ever.
