Looking for your first rod so you can take part in the great sport of fishing? Have you looked through some catalogs or browsed in sporting goods store and are already confused? All these new words to learn. Spinning fishing rods? Bait-casting ‘‘‘fishing rods’’’? Spin casting fishing rods? What do all these things mean?
