Kinds of Fishing Reels. Part one.
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.
