How do you use a spinning reel fishing rod properly? I recently started using a spinning reel fishing rod. How do I use it? The guy at the store explained it kinda vaguely since he didn't know exactly how to. I flip over the spinning part and grab hold of the line with my finger. When I cast I let go of the line. But when I cast it, it goes forward, and then comes back or stops letting out line. I haven't been able to cast it more than 15 feet. Another thing is I repeatedly get bird nests the line on the reel always gets tangled. What am I doing wrong?

What Spinning Rod/Reel to get for freshwater fishing? My wife and myself have took up fishing this year, and we have quickly became addicted to it. Yesterday I think I ---about--- caught my first, really, nice sized fish. I had closed face Zebco (Used one, someone gave me haha). Anyway we fought for 2 or 3 minutes and finally he took all my line, and I had my own version of Moby Dick to talk about... Since he stole my 5 dollar lure. So we have decided to throw our ghetto poles away and get us some fairly decent ones. So brings me to the question, what should we get. 1. For pure fresh water fishing 2. I want them to be a Spinning Reel 3. Between 50 to 100 bucks for Reel/rod (Don't have that much to spend) 4. I want to be able to handle some large fish. I want to be able to feel like anything I hook I will be able to bring in (In the fresh water). That's about it, we don't have a lot more money to throw into this venture. As I said though 50 to 100 dollars per rod/reel be ok, closer to 50 the better though! Thanks a bunch!
spinning rod technique question? my friend taught me how to use a spin cast rod, but idk if hes right or not. he told me to move the bail over to the rod and hold the line against the rod with one finger then with the other hand open the bail, then you cast it, then when it hits the water, then reel it in and dont close the bail because it will flip over for you. my line keeps getting tangled up

Good spinning reel for 9 foot surf rod? I'm normally a conventional reel type of guy but lately finding myself hurting too much at the end of the day. Arthritis is creeping in me bones. I want to buy a 9 foot surf rod ( spinning, M/Hvy ) but need help with a reel. I'm checking out the Tica reels but heard too many complaints about the bail closing prematurely during a hard cast. I need some help here, which reels are good with huge line capacity. Model #'s would be a plus. I normally wouldn't ask this but I'm more conventional rather than spinning so I may not be up to par and this is why I ask. Thanks guys. ~Chimp Dancer ~By the way, I'm not looking for the high priced stuff. My daughter's school is milking away that fun so please, moderately priced but decent. ~I want to thank every one for answering and giving me some insight on the larger spinning reels out on the market.~chimp.

Spinning Rods - Which to buy? I have spent the last 20 using nothing but fly rods, so the last time I actually used a spinning setup, I really didn't pay all that much attention to the rod types. I would like to get back into using spinning equipment from time to time. I'd like to get two rods, which would be mostly used for river fishing for trout bass and bluegill, but also the occasional lake trip. So, if you were going out to purchase two rods for the above mentioned fishing, which length and action would you choose for each? I appreciate any and all recommendations. Thanks!!!!
