..Next is Spinning Reels. This reel has a fixed spool what allows the use of lures that have not enough weigh to for bait casting reels. Since this reels have fixed but not rotating spool – the backlash problem is finally solved J. That are good news. The bad new is spinning reels usually have some “irritating” problems with curling the line, which can be caused by the spinning of an pegged bait. Spinning Reels separated to 3 main types, depends of its drag system: a) Front drag. This system has the drag adjustment at the reel’s front and allows for a smoother drag because the drag is located closer to the moving part of reel.. b) Back drag. c) Dual drag – it is when one in the front and one in the back. This universal system let the bait out w/o having to leave the bail open and also has better control when a fish strikes. To cast with Spinning Reel you have open the bail and hold the line with your finger, then move your rod back and cast forward at the same time releasing the line with your finger. To stop casting or wind the line you have to back the bail to original position. Most spinning reels operate best with fairly limp, flexible fishing lines.

And few words about Spin Cast Reels. The first Spin Cast Reels were introduced by the Johnson Reel Company and developed with attempt to the backlash issue, found in Bait Casting Reels designs. These reels have a fixed spool likewise Spinning Reels have. The line is thrown from a fixed spool and can therefore be used only with relatively light lures and baits. You can’t cast as far as you can cast with Spinning Reel, but these reels do not have problems with curling/twisting line. To cast with this reel, you need to push a button on the back of the reel, which releases the line pick-up, and then cast the rod. To stop casting you have to push the button again. When you reeling in the pick-up pin will reengage and the line will be re-spooled. Most Spin Cast Reels operate best with limp monofilament lines and braided fishing lines.

Fishing reels are essential for practicing angling.

There are too many kinds of fishing reels on the market nowadays, so it could make you lost easy. Lets make things a little clear, so you can choose the right one reel for your fishing. Fishing reels are of different types, depending on the fishing practiced: bait reels, spinning reels, spin cast reel, under reel, direct-drive reel, fly reels,and anti reverse reel. I will talk about some (more interesting in my opinion) of them: Bait Casting Reels, Spinning Reels and Spin Cast Reels.
To choose a reel right for a job you need to know 3 important things: where you will fishing, fishing method you will use, and what type of fish will be your target. In this article will briefly overview most popular types of reels for saltwater fishing, such as off-shore, backcountry or reef fishing.
First one, I wish acquaint you with, is Bait Casting Reel, also known as Conventional Reel. On this reel the line is coiled on a revolving spool, which is fixed above the rod. Almost each of these reels equipped with a level wind mechanism, what guides the fishing line back evenly on to the spool while you rewind a line, and drag adjustments which help provide line control while you cast. To cast with Bait Casting Reel you have to move the rod backward first and then snap it forward. To stop cast you have to place your thumb over the line when it reached required distance.

The main problem many people experience with Bait Casting reels is the backlash. For those of you who don’t know what it is: this happens usually when the lure or bait hits the water and stops forward motion. But the reel, however, doesn’t stop, and the line spools off the reel so quick that it ends up in a tangled mass which can take forever to fix. Of course, as with any baitcaster, a novice fisherman is going to have a lot of problems with backlashing in the beginning . Nowadays, Bait Casting Reels are usually made from aluminum or stainless steel and unlike the spinning reels they have a mechanism that prevents the line from getting stuck or twisting under itself on the spool when retrieval is performed. When lures of different weight are attached the casting reels need to be readjusted. The Bait Casting Reel design will work well with a wide variety of fishing line but braided fishing line is the best choice for most situations.
