Often a fisherman's arsenal is more like a complete collection. Dozens of fishing rods, each with its own specific purpose. Such a person knows exactly how spinning for jig differs from twitching, and he will never accept the definition of “universal spinning”. If you are a beginner fisherman or just go to the water several times a year, it does not make sense to buy a bunch of rods. I would like to have one, maximum two fishing rods, and that they pull out both small roach and medium-sized pike.
Let's make a reservation right away that there is no such thing as universal spinning. In our TOP, we selected rods with meanings that are most suitable for this word. The selection criteria are as follows:
length no more than three meters;
maximum spread of test values;
build fast or very fast;
price.
You should also pay attention to the materials from which the rod is made. The lightest is carbon, marked with the abbreviation IM and a number. The higher the number, the more fragile the rod will be. IM6-IM8 spinning rods are ideal for us. For those who want to save money, it makes sense to consider fiberglass options. They are cheaper, but the weight will be slightly higher.
And finally, if you are interested in a donk or a float rod, then you don’t need to wrap yourself at all. Choose a rod according to your pocket and personal convenience. Any option from our TOP will do here.
TOP 10 best universal spinning rods
10 AMUNDSON KUDOS SPINNING
Country: Canada
Average price: 2 100 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.3
The Canadian company AMUNDSON is not the most popular in Russia, and in vain, as it produces decent spinning rods with high technical and quality characteristics. This type is universal, designed for various fishing methods. Twitch and jig are available thanks to the fast action and medium class, while power casting is made easier by the cork handle, perfectly balanced and comfortable.
Rod test - from 20 to 40 grams. Not the lightest option, but the graphite from which the blank is made made it possible to reduce the weight of the structure to 120 grams. With these parameters, this is very small. Separately, it is necessary to talk about the appearance of the rod. The company pays a lot of attention to the branding of its products, so the rod has a unique color. It is difficult to confuse it with something else. Even the cork handle is painted, which is quite rare.In general, a great all-rounder for both beginners and professionals.
9 SHIMANO ALIVIO DX 270 MH

Rating (2022): 4.4
Probably, not a single TOP related to catching fish is complete without the products of the Japanese brand Shimano. This is not surprising, since the company produces the highest quality, reliable and durable products that are popular all over the world. Now we have a universal spinning heavy class with a test of 14-40 grams. It has a medium-fast action and a glued pommel, which significantly increases the sensitivity. Any fishing methods are available to him, including twitching and jig.
The blank is made of XT30 carbon fiber. Relatively new material, characterized by high strength and reliability. The rings are also unique, made from Shimano Hardlite, a ceramic composite that withstands even the most significant loads. Even the handle here is combined, covered with cork and neoprene at the same time. It is pleasant to hold it in hands, while it will not crumble in the coming years from contact with water.
8 Akara 3167 Effect Series Zander
Country: China
Average price: 1 950 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.4
If you still associate Chinese goods with something of low quality, then be sure to consider this spinning rod. With its characteristics, it may well fall into the budget category, while it has the highest quality and unique features. With a test of 40 grams, it has the maximum sensitivity of the blank. This was made possible thanks to the use of a unique carbon knurling technology combined with carbon fiber.A similar technology is used by famous Japanese brands, but their products cannot be called budget.
The action is very fast, with a glued tip, which also increases the sensitivity of the model. The arrangement of the rings deserves special attention. The Cast Balance system used here allows you to perfectly balance the rod, thanks to which both jigging and twitching become available to it, not to mention simpler fishing methods.
7 Maximus Winner MSW24ML
Country: South Korea
Average price: 1 800 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.5
The Korean company Maximus continues to dethrone the mastodons of the fishing market. Today it is one of the most popular manufacturers, having both highly specialized and universal spinning rods in its arsenal. Now we have the second option, which has an ideal test from 5 to 25 grams. With it, twitching is available to you, as well as jig and other fishing methods.
The length of 2.4 meters makes it possible to fish from a boat or shore, and durable graphite makes the construction as strong and durable as possible. The rod class is medium with a fast action and a plug connection. The pommel is glued, very sensitive, allowing you to react even to small bites that are relevant for such test values. Strong rings also add to the reliability, and in case of breakage, there are 7 more pieces made of SIC material with circular ceramic inserts.
6 KOSADAKA Orange Twiching Point 225 ML
Country: Japan
Average price: 1 600 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.6
If you are a beginner fisherman and the price of 1600 rubles seems high to you, then you are simply not familiar with the Japanese brand Kosadaka.For him, this is quite a budget option, and given the strength characteristics, such a rod will last you for many years even with intensive use. This is a universal mid-range variant with dough from 5 to 25 grams. This is an excellent run-up, with which fishing is available both on a jig and on a twitch.
A length of 2.25 meters and a weight of less than a hundred grams also contribute to fast casting, and the glued pommel makes the model as sensitive as possible even to small bites. A plug-in connection may present some inconvenience, but we note that a high-quality rod is rarely made telescopic, since such a design greatly hides sensitivity. This spinning rod is suitable for both beginners and experienced fishermen. A real universal option, which simply could not miss our TOP.
5 Freeway Tele Spin 2.7/7-28
Country: Russia
Average price: 2 100 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.6
Before us is an interesting brand that has Russian roots, but does not produce its own products. He is a representative of popular Japanese brands, but thanks to bulk purchases from manufacturers, he managed to significantly reduce the final cost of the products offered.
This universal spinning rod will allow a novice fisherman not to worry at all that they will have to buy something else to get to the water. The rod comes with a set of lures, a tube for transportation and even spare rings in case the main ones break. There are also universal features. Test from 7 to 28 grams and fast action allow you to hunt any trophies, even large ones. And the cork handle has a better tactile feel.With such a fishing rod, you can use twitch, jig and even use it as a donk.

4 SIWEIDA ABSOLUTE
Country: China
Average price: 1 170 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.7
To some, the price of this spinning rod will not seem low, but first you should study the characteristics. And the first thing you pay attention to is the class of the rod. This is an ultralight spinning rod with a test of up to 8 grams. At the same time, he got into our TOP as a universal one. It has a medium action, which, with a weight of 85 grams and a combined length of 1.6 meters, makes it convenient for jig and twitch. The reaction to a bite will occur mainly in the upper part, where the glued pommel is located. But when withdrawing, the entire form is expelled, which gives more room for maneuver.
Spinning is only available for catching small trophies, although the plug construction and grade 7 carbon are very durable. If you choose the right coil and the thickness of the cord, you can try to compete with larger representatives of the fauna. In any case, spinning is universal, and if you decide to master twitching, then it is better to start with just such a model.
3 MIKADO EVERGREEN TRAVEL SPIN 270
Country: Japan
Average price: 2 200 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.8
If you are a beginner fisherman, but fishing for you is not limited to gatherings on the shore with a float, be sure to consider this option, which made it to our TOP as a solution for those who want to enjoy medium-sized trophies, and not be content with small things.
This is a heavy spinning rod with dough from 15 to 45 grams.The jig and twitch with it will be quite difficult, as a certain skill is required. And the medium-fast action will not allow the beginner to react in a timely manner to a bite. With such a fishing rod, ordinary lure is ideal, which is also facilitated by a length of 2.7 meters and a weight of 200 grams. The spinning rod is made of IM 9 class carbon fiber. You need to handle it carefully, as the material is quite fragile and requires careful handling, in which the fishing rod will last for many years. The manufacturer is famous for the highest quality of its products, although they are relatively expensive.
2 VOLZHANKA Volgar 2.4 m 5-Z0 gr
Country: Russia
Average price: 600 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.8
If you are a beginner fisherman and you need a universal spinning rod, for which you do not have to pay a decent amount, then it is in front of you. Volzhanka is the most popular Russian manufacturer, famous for its affordable prices and acceptable quality. Now we see a telescopic rod, consisting of five sections. Its total length is 2.54 meters. Ideal for both shore and boat fishing.
The universal type is characterized by a middle class, fast action and a maximum test of 30 grams. At the same time, the minimum value was set at around 5 grams, that is, spinning allows you to use both a jig with twitching and simpler fishing methods. The disadvantages include materials. The rod is made of fiberglass, so the total weight of the structure without reel is 160 grams. Quite a heavy tool, but if you are a beginner fisherman, your fishing is unlikely to be overshadowed by this fact.
