Rating of universal spinning rods: the best spinning rods for jig, twitching and other types of fishing in 2020

When choosing a good spinning rod , every fisherman notes several important parameters to which he pays attention. Indeed, for different methods of spinning fishing, you will need rod models with certain characteristics. It is very difficult to find a universal option that will work equally well in conditions of trolling, twitching and ultralight. The peculiarity of jig fishing is the high degree of spinning sensitivity. 

Every fisherman wants to have complete control of the bait while working. 

• Ultralight fishing rods are the perfect combination of lightness, sensitivity and the ability to cast long distances. Such models are usually used for catching fish in small rivers and lakes. 

• Twitching became especially popular after fishing shops were filled with all kinds of wobblers. Rhythmic jerking animation will also require a special type of spinning rod.

• Trolling "hunting" means capturing trophy specimens from a boat. Therefore, the main requirements for such rods are high strength and optimal length. 

As for the novice spinners, they can safely work with rods from the budget category.  

Which spinning rod is better to buy in 2020?

The choice of a particular design depends largely on the experience and personal preference of each angler. For example, telescopic rods are ideal for hikers. Such models can be carried in a backpack, and, if necessary, can be quickly prepared for use. Plug designs are especially popular with more experienced anglers. Lightness, high strength and special sensitivity are noted among the main advantages. As a result, the fisherman can constantly monitor the bait and not worry about playing trophy specimens.
