kat1313on 19 Mar 2010 at 2:49 am 1I think you are talking about a spinning rod and reel combo.

Most of the deepsea fish are caught by a form of trolling by dragging a bait behind a boat. It works well for spotted perch (white perch).
andrew w knows f**k allon 19 Mar 2010 at 3:24 am 3i think what your after is a course or float rod for fishing in lakes or rivers and the usual reel is a fixed spool reel.
Artieon 19 Mar 2010 at 3:56 am 4this is a trick question right? I am going to take a guess but without knowing whether the reel is mounted on top of the rod or under it is what you mean by “regular” I am going to say …. a rod and reel?

Stevoon 19 Mar 2010 at 4:52 am 6Here in Australia we call them ‘overhead combo’ if the reel is mounted above the rod, or ‘eggbeater combo’ if the reel is mounted under the rod.
catfishingonalowbudgeton 19 Mar 2010 at 5:22 am 7I’d be inclined to say a spin cast reel is what most people would call a reel that has the line inside the reel a line release button on the back and is mounted atop the rod. These are great reel & rod combos for most “part time” fishermen. A Zebco 33 would be a great example.

Most people start with a “spinning” or “spincasting” reel and move up to a baitcasting reel with a little more experience.
Peter_AZon 19 Mar 2010 at 6:14 am 9A few kinds:
Spinning
Spincasting
Baitcasting
Conventional
Spinning is probably the most common, but baitcasting tackle looks more like what non-fishermen think a fishing outfit looks like. Spincasting is a “push-button” outfit, usually used by beginners and kids, while conventional is the basic saltwater type of tackle (though the other kinds are often used in the ocean as well).
