Spinning Rods

Why are Spinning Rod Combos so Popular?

When searching for Daiwa spinning rods, like the Daiwa 20 TD Black Black Sniper 7' Spin Rod, why opt for a spinning rod combo instead? There are a variety of reasons, but we will look at some of the main things that anglers mention when asked:

1. Spinning combos can throw lighter lures farther. From weightless baits to lures up to 1/4 of an ounce, a spinning rod and reel is hard to beat for distance.
2. If wind is an issue at all, spinning combos are even more advantageous. Casting across or into the wind is much more efficient with spinning tackle, especially if the lures are on the light side.
3. If you want to skip lures under low hanging cover such as docks, piers, bushes or the low limbs of trees, then spinning tackle again outshines baitcasting gear. If you want to start skipping lures immediately, spinning combos are far more forgiving.
4. An often-overlooked benefit of spinning combos is it allows your lure to sink down straighter without as much 'pendulum effect' from the rotational spool found on baitcasters. When a lure sinks from a baitcaster, like our Abu Garcia Veritas Tournament 601H Baitcasting Rod, it encounters resistance in the form of pulling the rotational spool, which causes a lure to pendulum towards the angler as it sinks.
5. Are you right-handed or left-handed? With spinning combos, it does not matter because on most spinning reels the handle is swappable between the right and left sides to fit your needs.
6. One last big advantage of using a spinning reel is that you can easily adjust your drag during the fight with a fish.

Why Buy a Spinning Combo Instead of Buying the Rod & Reel Separately?

The benefit of getting a rod and reel combo is that you will know that the specifications of each component will work well with the other. You won't have to worry about whether the flexibility of the spinning rod will be compatible with the gear ratio of the reel because a professional has already figured that out for you. Therefore, beginners often prefer to buy a fishing combo rather than choosing their reel and rod separately.

Getting a combo is great if you want to simplify the process of getting new gear. The combo also has the additional benefit of cost. When packaged together, you can often find combos that are priced at a very reasonable rate, usually cheaper than buying the two components separately. Therefore, if you're on a budget, you can get a little bit better quality equipment within your price range if you go for a combo set.
