Morphology
The meaning is directly and predictably built from 'spin' (to rotate) + 'rod' (a long tool): 'spinning' here functions as a modifier indicating a rod used for spinning (i.e., casting spinning lures). This is a standard adjective+ noun instrument construction common across languages and would be understandable to a B1 learner who knows the constituent words.
Etymology
Spinning rod gets its name from the spinning reel that turns when you cast and the rod that holds it, the long stick you hold in your hand. So a spinning rod is a fishing rod made to work with a 'spinning reel', which helps you cast lures more easily.
