spincasting

Closed-face fishing method

Spincasting is a method of fishing using a closed-face reel mounted on top of the rod, designed for simplicity and ease of use.

The reel's enclosed housing prevents line tangles, making it popular with beginners: I learned to fish with a spincasting setup.

Spincasting also refers to a manufacturing process where molten material is poured into a spinning mold, using centrifugal force to distribute the material evenly—used for jewelry, fishing lures, and industrial parts.
