They make it for both spinning and cast. If it is linked correctly this is a casting or baitcast. Look for cast or baitcast, something, versus spinning which is different..

A spincast reel uses the same type of rod that a baitcasting reel uses. A 6ft. Shakespeare Ugly Stik casting rod is a common rod. I purchased mine from Wal-Mart. If you can't find one there then try Shakespeare's website (they sell Shakespeare products online).

When letting line out of the reel or reeling it in, the levelwind guides the line onto the reel evenly so that the line is evenly dispersed in the spool. I use this reel mainly bait fishing for catfish and striped bass, but it also works well for trolling. It depends on how comfortable you are with using a bait caster.

According to the picture of the handle of the fishing rod, the reel seat of the rod looks like a bait casting rod. Therefore, I would say that this rod is for bait casting. I believe that Okuma must be more descriptive about their products.

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

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

No it is a standard reel for bass trout etc. Outstanding reel with the smoothest action I have ever used.

Probably not. It's a baitcaster, so when first learning, line is easily tangled on the reel. A spinning combo is much easier, and plenty of fisherman stay with them forever. Will he fish in the ocean? Then he needs it to be designed for use in salt water.

I agree with the other posters. You'd have to cast it. The rod and reel are heavy. My wife can't cast it if that helps at all.

No. This is not a "baitcaster". It is meant for bottom fishing off of a boat or pier, or trolling off a boat.

I own 5 of these rod holders and use them with spinning reels frequently. The reels will be facing down as they normally position below the rod when holding it in your hand. Various lengths of the rod butts also work fine in mine.

Yes, the rod will accommodate both spinning and baitcasting reels with ease.

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

I use mine as a casting rod, so I mounted a ss butt cap on it after scraping off the foam and been using a Daiwa BG 60 with 25lb test since day 1. Might not be the prettiest of reels, but built to last and take beatings the entire way. Setups been working strong for 12 years so far.

No this fishing pole does not cast. The hook goes up and down as they wind the reel. My toddler grandchildren do enjoy playing with this toy. They love the music that it plays.

For this reel you need a "spinning" style rod, Fenwick makes a good one but there are many brands that are good and will work.

Yes, but be aware it's just the reels. You will need to order the appropriate size pole.
