Casting is the type of fishing most people equate with the action.  Casting is a simple way to quickly get your lure or bait into an area that you believe will have fish by tossing it with your pole.

As far as casting goes there are various techniques and concepts involved that can take years to master.  When choosing a casting rod its important to decide what you are going to be using it for.  There are many rods built for specific types of fishing and fish.  The three main things to look at on any rod are the length, flexibility and weight.  These will all determine how far and accurately you can cast your bait, and how you can reel in any hooked fish.

The most popular types of casting are surf casting, fly casting, live bait, spinner, bobber, and shore casting.
