casting rods

Angler's throwing sticks

Casting rods are fishing rods designed to be used with baitcasting or spincasting reels, where the reel sits on top of the rod and the angler's thumb controls the line during the cast.

They typically have smaller guides and a pistol-grip handle.

Casting rods offer more accuracy and power than spinning rods but require more skill: I switched to a casting rod for bass fishing.
