This item states that it is a spinning rod. Others have stated that it in fact does not have spinning eyes. Can anyone confirm this? BWSL220070

The picture shown is a casting rod, but the model # at shakespare makes it a spinning rod.

the one I got is a spinning rod, the difference between a spinning and bait casting rod are within the eyes the eyes closest to the reel seat are larger than those on a bait caster because of the way the line come off the reel during casting it helps each reel avoid backlash and tangles.

It's confusing. I received the casting rod and thought it was the spinning rod. The casting rod is excellent.

Yes it is a spinning rod. All I use is spinning rods for targeting big fish. Yes even with my bait cast reels..

I just read the other comment that said theirs came already assembled. Not true. It's in pieces. They must be talking about a different wind spinner

It feels like it is spring loaded. It stays in place really well. I really like it. Walmart used to have rods like this one. I didn't buy one from them because they didn't have the right size. Maybe you could look at one there. Hope this helps.

This is a spin-cast rod which uses a pushbutton reel. If you are using a spinning reel, it goes on a spinning rod. Some reels have a switch that allows you to unwind without opening the bail or pushing the release button (spincast). That is what I prefer. If not, cup your can over the bail or opening so you can control the release of the line as you extend the rod.

I believe the handle spins... good quality rod. It does not flex like cheaper ones.

Like a free spinning rim like some circular polarizers? Nope. This doesnt turn independantly

Yes, it is a spinning rod. Decent rod for convenience with average performance. Dun expect the same feel with a 2 piece or 1 piece rod.

This reel is what is commonly referred to as a Left handed reel!!! The reel is "handed" by which ever side the handle is on when in position on the rod It is becoming more and more popular with people who are Right handed, as are well over 95% of the country. for the ability to keep the rod in your master hand the entire time you are fishing, and not have to cast, then change hands to reel, , then change hands to cast again!!! people have becum used to cranking with their left hand because of the popularity of open-faced spinning reels, which basically all come with the handle on the left side, thou the great majority, if not all, have the ability to easily change the handle from one side to the other!!! Best of luck, and Make sure you leave a few for me!!! Regards, Jim

Hi Allison, Yes it does. I think I'm going to order a couple more so we have some spares on our boat. It is a nice fishing rod.

No fish eye at all. I use it to back a 34 foot 5th wheel into my shop. It's hard for me to back in without it because it's darker in shop and light outside. GREAT PRODUCT

I bought the rod, love it, but yes, the sections do not slide together all the way. In fact, I would have to get it out, but I recall none of the sections sliding together fully. That didn't stop us from slaying some Mahi Mahi on them (my friend and I had the same rod and after discussing the "not going together" realized they were awesome!

The rod in the picture is a different rod. This sku is for a spinning rod. They put the wrong picture in the sku

No, it's not accurate. I bought one 6 months ago and it does not have the two supporting rods.

Yes, but I have had to replace a guide in one that was about a year old. Find the eyes in these rods aren't the best, even when rinsed after each use. I will replace them with better quality guide, the rod has excellent action. I use it for targeting redfish and sea trout.

The other answers are wrong. It's the one you may have seen on Buzzfeed/Pinterest holding a curtain rod. (Why do people answer these questions when they obviously have NO idea what they're talking about?)
