Casting or Spinning Fishing Reels: Which to Use?

admin — Sun, 20 Dec 2009 23:45:08 +0000

Although there are a large number of fishing reels available in the world, you’ll actually probably end up focusing on only two types – casting or spinning – unless you’re interested in doing some very unique of challenging fishing. Even though you’ve limited your options to just these two types, that doesn’t necessarily mean you’re going to have an easy decision when it comes to fishing reels.
Let’s look at some of the differences between these two types of fishing reels.
Casting Fishing Reels
If you’re an inexperienced fisher, you’re probably not going to be able to use one of these reels right away. Instead, you’ll need to get a little more experience because they can be a challenge. However, fishers who are a little more experienced do tend to like these fishing reels better. That’s often because these reels allow you to catch larger fish because they can support heavier lures and lines.
At first, you may have trouble casting the reel. However, once you have more experience you’ll find that these reels actually allow you to make more accurate casting.
These are also better for salt water fishing, especially if you purchase a one piece blank. When you use a one-piece fishing rod, it’s less likely to be damaged by salt water. Many of these reels come with built-in drag systems that give you more control over the line’s resistance.
Spinning Fishing Reels
As you can probably guess, spinning fishing reels are a better choice for beginners or for people who just don’t know much about casting. Because the line is propelled by the bait or lure, these types of reels used to require a heavier lure. That’s no longer true and spinning fishing reels can be used with a wide range of bait and lure, as well as for any type of fishing.
If you decide to choose spinning fishing reels, make sure you pay attention to the retrieve on that reel. These can be left-hand, right-hand, or either-hand. You want to choose one that will work best for you.
Like casting reels, you can use spinning reels even in salt water fishing. However, you’ll want to be careful about the reel you choose. You need one that comes with a skirted spool because this will keep out the moisture and water from the reel which prevents the corrosive effects of the salt crystals.
Other Fishing Reels
Of course, these are only two types of fishing reels. You may eventually want to pursue other types of fishing, such as fly fishing, which will require very specific equipment if you’re going to be effective.
In those cases, you’ll want to do some additional research and talk to some experts who are familiar with those specific types of fishing. You may also want to get your own experience with this new fishing experience by borrowing someone else’s reels.
Choosing Your Fishing Reels
When you do make your decision, remember you can find the fishing reels for your needs by going online to stores such as Sea Isle Tackle.
