Fishing boats, rods and reels? Don't fret your fishing dreams have come
true!
A fishing reel is a piece of fishing equipment that is devised
for sports and hobby fishermen to cast and retrieve fishing line. It is a spool
and axle that mounts on a fishing rod. There are also reels that have been
specifically designed to mount on boats. There are three basic types of fishing
reels: bait casting, fly casting and spin casting.
Bait Casting
Fishing Reels
Bait casting reels are extremely complicated. The line is
pulled off the rod by the weight of the lures being used. It is thrust forward
by the motion of casting. These reels usually provide a device that lays the
line evenly across the rotating cylinder that acts as the core of the reel. If
the cast is not smooth, it will cause problems when the line is reeled in. The
line can become tangled, which is frustrating to the user. Great lengths of
time can be spent untangling the line when using bait casting reels. These
reels are not for beginners or children.
Fly Fishing Reels
There are two specific things you need to be aware of when choosing a fly
fishing reel. One is to ensure that it has a drag that is extremely responsive.
The second thing is to buy a fly fishing reel that can stand the tension and
strain put on it should you have a significantly large catch. Fly casting reels
are more expensive than other types of fishing reels. When purchasing a fly
fishing reel, look it over with an eagle eye and ascertain that there are no
plastic parts. It isn't unusual for plastic to fail when you have a large fish
on your line. All metal reels are much more reliable and are worth the extra
price that you will pay.
Spinning Reels
There are two types
of spinning reels - closed faced and open faced.
The closed faced reel
is inexpensive and easy to use. It is the best type of reel for those who are
learning to fish. Closed faced reels are almost trouble free, yet are capable
of bringing in your catch, whatever it may be. Closed faced spinning reels have
a push button release when casting and have an opening in the top for the line
to come out when cast. This type of reel is mounted on your fishing rod.
Spinning reels are used by fishermen who are hobbyist, casual sportsmen,
beginners and children. If you buy a prepackaged rod and reel, this is usually
the type of reel that's included.
Open faced spinning rods are more
difficult to use and comes in a variety of sizes. Ultra light models are great
for catching pan fish. Larger models will be needed for game fishing or ocean
fishing. Line capacity on an open faced reel is greater and is serviceable when
fishing for salmon and trout. They have a smooth drag, which makes them an
excellent choice for the longer run game fish.
A closed faced fishing
reel is perfect for beginners and children, as mentioned above. As your fishing
skills are honed, you may wish to upgrade to an open faced reel and then move
on to more advanced reels. Keep in mind that you don't want to choose a reel
with plastic parts that can fail if you catch a good sized fish. A good rule of
thumb is the lighter the line, the smaller the reel. Be sure the reel you
purchase is compatible with the type of fishing line you plan to use. If you're
choosing only one reel, a medium speed is best. If you plan on buying at least
two reels, choose both a high and low speed. There is a difference in reels for
right and left-handed people. Be sure you purchase a reel that is compatible
with your dexterity. Left handed reels turn counter clock wise while a right
handed reel turns clock wise.
If you have trouble choosing a
fishing reel, ask a family member or friend who is an avid angler to
lend you a hand, or ask the staff at your local fishing store. Anyone who has
experience in fishing will be more than glad to help in any way they can.
