Bait casting fishing rods are popular among anglers in India for their precision and control. These rods are designed to handle heavier lures and lines, making them ideal for targeting large freshwater fish species found in Indian rivers and lakes, such as mahseer and catfish.  
 
Local Indian manufacturers have started producing bait casting rods that cater to the specific needs of regional fishing conditions. These rods often feature durable materials to withstand the humid climate and rough handling, while remaining affordable for the average Indian angler.  
 
Using a bait casting rod in India requires some skill, as it involves mastering the thumb control on the reel to avoid backlashes. Many fishing enthusiasts in urban areas like Delhi and Mumbai are adopting this style for competitive fishing events. |
