"casting Rods"

[FunkJishing]

why do some rods say "casting" on them when we cast with all rods? do they specialize in distance casting or something?

[new2BC4bass]

Because some rods are made for SPINNING REELS while others are made for CASTING REELS. or SPINCAST REELS.

"Casting" as in bait-cast as opposed to spinning tackle. 

[rippin-lips]

Casting = it's to be used with a casting reel or baitcaster as we call it. Nothing special about it.

I know this lol let me ask it better, so on baitcasting rods the label "casting" is just to represent that it's for baitcasting? i thought maybe it represented that rods primary use like how crankbait casting rods say "cranking" on them.

lol I'm probably overthinking things...

I wasn't sure if maybe the OP was part sarcasm. lol A "casting" rod is just a non-technique specific bait-casting (usually trigger) rod.

I had a hot shot rod for trout fishing.  I thought I was pretty cool.

I sometimes troll with my spinning rod, cast with my jigging rod, and jig with my casting rod.

 

I also park in my driveway and drive on the parkway, so what do I know....

 

Tight lines,

Wife: "And which kind is that?"

Me: "That's a spinning reel."

Wife: "Don't all reels spin?"

Me: "Well yeah, but let me show you the difference; now this is the baitcaster, and --"

Wife: "Don't they all cast bait? Or is that JUST for bait, not lures? Or is 'lure' the same as 'bait'?"

Me: "Yes, no, and sometimes. Here, let's back up and start with the spincast reel--"

Wife: "Which spins and casts...?"

Me: "Er... yes, but--"

Wife: "But they all spin... and cast... right...?"

Me: "..."

Wife: "You don't know either, do you?"

Me: "I know what they're called, it's just tricky to explain..."

Wife: "...why there are three different names based on the two things that all three of them do?"

Me: "I'm gonna pull up Wikipedia here, gimme a sec."

Wife: "Wait, don't you want to ask your buddies on Fishbook?"

Me: "IT'S NOT! CALLED! FISHBOOK!!!"
