<\/p>\nDo all casting rods have a trigger?<\/span><\/h2>\n
Not all casting rods have a trigger<\/a> projection.<\/p>\n
There are other types of grips that include split grips and full grips.<\/p>\n
When shopping for a casting rod, expert to encounter many types of grips.<\/p>\n
What is a trigger rod?<\/span><\/h2>\n
A trigger rod is a fishing pole that is fitted with a butt-end grip and a trigger projection on the underside of the rod.<\/p>\n
A butt-end grip is one that covers the bottom four or so inches of the fishing rod.<\/p>\n
The reel sits above the butt-end grip.<\/p>\n
The trigger is positioned under the rod, and at the beginning of the butt-end grip.<\/p>\n
You hold it in the same way you would hold a gun.<\/p>\n
The index finger wraps around the rod to rest on the trigger.<\/p>\n
The remaining portion of hand and figures holds the rod below the reel for support.<\/p>\n
Trigger rods are ideal for those who like one-handed fishing.<\/p>\n
They offer a small advantage to flick casting and can also take on full overhead casting<\/a> too.<\/p>\n
What is a trigger grip on a fishing rod?<\/span><\/h2>\n
There are two answers to what a trigger grip on a fishing rod is.<\/p>\n
Generally, a trigger grip is a reference to the type of coating that finishes the butt-end of the rod – with a reel seat sitting on top of the pole and trigger grip.<\/p>\n
A trigger grip has a hooked-shaped handle where your index finger rests while fishing. It sits along the bottom or downward side of the fishing rod.<\/p>\n
What is a trigger reel seat?<\/span><\/h2>\n
A trigger reel seat is the locking mechanism that allows you to attach a reel to a trigger grip on a fishing pole.<\/p>\n
The trigger reel seat sits on top of the trigger grip and has notches where the reel slides into the grip.<\/p>\n
Can you use a casting rod with a spinning reel?<\/span><\/h2>\n
Generally, yes. You can put a spinning reel on a casting rod, but it is not always a great idea.<\/p>\n
The spinning reel is designed for a spinning rod and while they do work on a casting rod, long-term use can lead to damage to the casting rod.<\/p>\n
What’s the difference between a trigger rod and a casting rod?<\/span><\/h2>\n
The only real difference is the trigger grip. For the most part, a trigger rod is a casting rod.<\/p>\n
A difference is that on casting rods you may encounter other types of grips, such as split grips.<\/p>\n
A casting rod that is not a trigger rod will not have a trigger and will have a reel seat that is not part of the grip.<\/p>\n
Do all casting rods have triggers?<\/span><\/h2>\n
All casting rods do not have triggers, though the majority of them will.<\/p>\n
One way to tell if the rod is a casting rod is if the eye or line guides are all the same size.<\/p>\n
On a spinning rod, the eyes are graduated from large to small as you move from the butt-end of the rod to the rod’s tip.<\/p>\n
Occasionally you will find a trigger grip on a spinning rod, but not often.<\/p>\n
Conclusion<\/span><\/h2>\n
There are many advantages to owning and fishing with a trigger rod.<\/p>\n
A trigger reel sets up your thumb to be the master of controlling line spooling during casting.<\/p>\n
They also help keep your wrist in a more neutral position while fishing and that can be a big advantage on longer fishing adventures.<\/p>\n
Trigger grips are good for short-distance fishing.<\/p>\n
They give you an advantage when you simply need to flick cast your lure<\/a> near shore, when drifting your lure downstream, or when you need to flick cast into a pool without making a big impact on the water.<\/p>\n
Generally, trigger rods are ideal for lighter fishing where you are not expecting to deal with big, fat, trophy fish. A good way to tell if a trigger pole is right for you is to hold one, and see how it feels in your hand.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
