It is also possible use weighted Flies. Sight casting can be difficult so you may also consider using a sinking line with a weighted flee. Keep a fly rod on hand for hungry cobia.

How To
Why would you need a spinning rod?
The spinning rod is useful when you need to throw your lure in the water and not have to get out of the boat. It's a great choice if you don't want to lose too much time getting back into the boat after every cast. A spinning rod is designed to allow you to make casts from any position while still maintaining control of your line. There are three major components to the rod; handle, butt and reel section. The handle is the part that holds the rod in your hand and grips the shaft. The rod's tip is attached to the hook at the butt section. Finally, the reel's seat holds the line and the reel. There are many types of rods today. Some rods are only suitable for specific types of fishing such as trolling or casting. Others are intended to be used for different purposes, such fly fishing or spin fishing, as well as bait fishing.
The type of rod you select depends on what kind of fish you plan to catch. If you want to target large predatory species, such as bass and pike, then you will need a heavier-duty rod. For smaller species such as salmon or trout, a lighter rod might be better. You can even buy multiple rod sizes depending on the size of the fish you want to catch.
Spinning Rods are not limited to just freshwater fishing. They are commonly used for saltwater fishing too. Saltwater spinning is more heavy than its freshwater counterparts. It requires stronger materials that can withstand saltwater. Saltwater spinners are more likely to use a longer length rod and have a wider diameter. This allows them to cast further distances. However, keep in mind that there are some downsides to using a spinning rod for saltwater fishing. First, unlike freshwater spinning rods, saltwater ones do not come with reels. You must buy one individually. They can also be very expensive. A spinning rod is worth your consideration if you enjoy catching larger fish.
A spin fishing method is when a fisherman uses his spinning rod to cast a weighted lure in the water. When the lure moves through the water it turns around its weighted center point. This causes the lure and fish to move around in the water erratically, making it harder for them to identify the lure. Fish may also mistake the lure for food and begin feeding on it. This will make the lure more attractive to fish. The fisherman can then reel in the line attached to the lure. Once the lure is recovered, the fisherman may continue this process until he has caught all the fish he desires.
