Can i use a telescopic rod to go spincast fishing?

Yes, if the rod is a spincast rod. If it has a "trigger" for your index finger where the reel seat is, then your rod is a spincast rod. Good luck.

the flipping switch allows your reel to free spool. Flipping or pitching is used in hvy cover or around docks for soft presentation of the lure. Usually used with plastic worms or jigs.

you distance them for the area and the current. i would use and egg sinker as it will be heavier and will have less drag on the current. i would do egg on top about two feet and then the bobber and then about a foot or two and then the hook so your bait will float in the current. i would also use a leader depending on where you are. and get some good knots that you can tie. for the egg sinker its simple run a loop of line through the eye and then pull it around the weight to secure it a little it will make a small cinch knot that can be taken out at anytime. the others you may want to get a book or look online for fishing knots

All good answers above, but the line has to come off the spool of line in the same direction it goes on reel or you will get a terrible line twist!!! If you don't understand what I'm saying, check with local sporting goods store(Academy), they can show you. Good fishing!!!

small and gold would be best but it's really a poor trout lure....use a trout worm or nightcrawler on a number 8 hook with a small splitshot about 8-10inches from it or a small mepps spinner would be better. Have Luck!

I read your question and I can't answer it.  But I wanted you to know that my BEST ANSWER percentage is up to 12% now. Thank you for inspiring me when we last "spoke".\nI'll write again in January.... bye bye.\n\nTWO DAYS LATER... I'm going to venture an answer, even though I never go fishing.   First cut the old line off the reel spool with a razor blade.  30 seconds work.  THEN attach a small eletric motor from an old kitchen mixer, or power drill with a slow speed.  Attach the motor shaft to the reel's winding shaft with a flexible rubber hose to prevent vibration and direct contact.\nStart the motor on a slow speed, occupy yourself with another task while keeping an eye on the finished winding.  VOILA!  you can save the old motor for the next line changing....\nGood luck.

There is one made called "fishing buddy" . Pretty worthless if you must ask me....Even on my boat where I have 2 fishfinders mostly we use them for finding structure or depth...not so much fish. How much is the depth and strutcure going to change fishing from shore...not much right. These things actually work best for ice fishing....save your money. Buy a better rod to cast further from shore if your gonna spend.

the rod will spin the same

Normally most rods have a thing called a "seat". This is where the reel is physically attached to the rod. Some just pull up and over the " T " part of the reel causing it to hold. Others require you to screw a bolt which holds it in place.\n\nOnce you have all that done run the line through the eyelets and tie on a lure/hook.

There are various things you can use. Try CDs, toy wheels, cotton reels...\n\nLook for objects with low 'rolling resistance' and a large diameter. This will help it go further. Good luck!

If there is a bait shop near the pier than go and talk to the fisherman. (the ones who are catching fish)  But usually the bait store guy will tell you because his buddys are giving him the report. The most siimple way to rig is the top and bottom wire riggs, 1,2,3and maby 4, oz weights. dipending on what is biteing, use a #1 or # circle hook, if sea trout,(the stealth bombers of the sea) use somthing smaller cause they can hit and run in 2 seconds flat and steal your bait.  all of this stuff is cheap enough so buy a few extras cause your going to loose some on rocks and seaweed. 20 dollars will have you fishing for a month or two.

If your using terminal takle go with wax worms.\n\nIf you want to through lures use a 1/8 oz. Wordens Rooster tail; jigs tipped with wax worms work really well. \n\nThere is a jig put out by GRIZZLY JIG COMPANY, http://www.grizzlyjig.com/html/grizzly_jigs.html, O strongly recommend them. The rigging method for  these is easy. Take a crappie rod or any ultralight is fine, and put on a slip bobber. Set the depth at three feet attach two jigs, one at the bottom and another at 2 feet.  Cast to where you want it an dlet it go to work . These usally get hit on the sinking motion so it is easier if you are on a dock or using a crappie rod or in a boat.

My advice would be buy a Sihmanno reel. Just looked at them in Cabella's the other day. Plus I had three all with a high speed retrieve. SS ball bearings. Last years with proper care.

I know you need a license not for a rod and line but to fish. you should check with your local natural resources offic. it depends where you are fishing.

Depends.\n\n\nWhat type of fishing are you doing? Salt or freshwater?\nWhat species of fish are you hoping to catch?\n\nIf I "HAD" to buy an "all-around", "Cheap-as-dirt",  Fly-fishing outfit it would probably be in the 7-9 weight class.\n\nAn 8WT "Reddington" or "St. Croix" rod matched with a "Ross" or "System 2" reel would do ALOT of your inshore-saltwater ,( Reds, Trout, small Drum,), & freshwater, ( Bass, Crappie, large Trout, Small-Medium Salmon), fishing. \n\nYou can get one of these outfits for around $200. Add GOOD fly-line, & backing, $260. Add flys & misc. tackle, $300. \n\nOr,  you can buy a fly-fishing "kit"  from one of the larger companys, (Bass Pro Shops or Cabelas). They will cost approx., ($275-$300), BUT, the quality of your gear will "slightly" diminish. \n \nIf you MUST go "DIRT-CHEAP", get a cheaper reel before you buy a cheaper rod. (A good inexpensive reel is a 1594 1/2 ,Pflueger reel, $40).In flyfishing, a good "fast-action" rod is "key" to success.\n\nIf you are new to the sport, don't let some "expert" tell you to buy a $500-$1000 rod!   Most $100-$200 rods will be fine for any "novice". IF , you "fall in love" with the sport & you want to buy something more "savy" try "Sage", "Scott", G-Loomis" rods, (these rods start at $130-$1200). \n\nFind a local pond to "practice" your fly-fishing skills. Bass & Sunfish flys are inexpensive, (try Walmart), and "Sunnys & Large-Mouth" are MUCH easier to catch than your average , Trout , Salmon, Red , or "Looper".\n\nGood fishing!

Leave your rig (hook, bait, sinker) hang from the tip of the rod.\nAdjust the friction  button (lever in free spool) so that your rig falls slowly to the ground. From a height of 6 feet  it should take about 4 seconds to hit the ground.\nTake of the free spool , cast and press the free spool button or lever when your rod tip reaches at an angle about 45 degrees with your body. Quickly put your thumb on the spool and stop it when the bait hits the water.\nIf you mess up  more than 10 times buy a spinning reel it is so much easier. \nTight lines good luck.
