Spinning for beginners
The Japanese company Shimano pleased fans of jig fishing with the release of an inexpensive rod for long-distance casting - Shimano Joy XT 240 MH. This is one of the few rods with a length of 240 centimeters and a low price. It is designed for both fishing from the shore and from a boat. Perfect for beginner anglers who do not want to spend fabulous money on expensive spinning rods.
Design features
The rod is made of a composite material, which is a mixture of carbon and fibreglass. This is a fairly strong material, but not as flexible as carbon. In this model, the handle is cork, which makes it more convenient to use compared to foam rubber. The length of the spinning rod when folded is 125 centimeters, which suggests the idea of purchasing a cover or a bag for transportation. Fasteners for the reel do not hang out and do not unwind during fishing.
Casting and casting bait
A good casting range of 15 to 40 grams allows you to catch pike, walleye and other fish both in shallow and deep water. With the maximum weight of the bait, it is possible to cast a decent 80 metres, and if the wind is fair, then even further. However, it is worth noting that the rod, compared to 240 cm spinning rods, has a considerable weight of 303 grams. After a while, the hand begins to tyre.
