disi: I cannot sell my starting gear, so I use it in the fifth set with the smallest hook on a stand to look for exotic small fish while I use bigger ones for real fishing :)

disi: I think it is not a matter of bait.

Just reading up here: https://www.dream-guides.com/blog/spinning-rods-vs-casting-rods

Spinning:
- for beginners
- the eyelet is under the rod
- easier to handle
- cannot handle too large fish
Casting:
- for runaways (Otto Walkes 1979 https://youtu.be/WrJPEqOWB48?t=26)
- the eyelet is above the rod
- harder to handle?
- can handle larger fish

Then there is fly fishing where you use heavier lines and different bait. The line is the weight and not the hook and bait.

tinyE: Cool, thanks.
I think I'll get a good Casting rod and see how it handles everything before I decide on owning both.

disi: I was just fly fishing, pretty cool and also caught a Brasse (bream). Trying to make money with carp for that river that is good for fly fishing.

thegrindre: I don't bother with any of the other types anymore.

tinyE: kind of takes the fun out of it, doesn't it?

thegrindre: Well, what's the object? Leveling up and making money to upgrade yourself, right? Ice fishing is the way to do it fast and easily.
