| Fishing Reels: There are 4 different styles of fishing reels: fly reels, bait-casting reels, spinning reels, and spin-casting reels. They are all used for different situations. Spin-casting reels are most common for young fishermen. Most fishermen used these types of reels when they were kids. They are usually cheap and inexpensive combined with a cheap and inexpensive rod. If your kid breaks the rod or accidentally throws it over the boat, it's not going to ruin your whole day. These reels have a push-button to make casting very easy for younger anglers. These reels handle 4 to 8 pound test very well and were made for catching panfish and small trout. Spinning reels are probably the most common reel on the market today. They are great for most fishing situations. There are spinning reels of all different sizes. You can use 4 pound test on an ultra-light rod for crappie or 20 pound test on a heavy rod for salmon. Most spinning reels are best equipped for 4 to 12 pound test, however, some of the bigger reels can handle 17 to 20 pound test without a problem. If you are looking to go heavier than that, you should probably take a look at the bait-casting reels. Bait-casting reels are the preferred reel for bass, pike, and muskie fishermen. These reels can have 65 pound test line and cast a very long way. Bass fishermen loves these rods because they are so good for casting long distances and it helps them cover a lot of water and also to rip a fish into the boat in a hurry. Pike and muskie fishermen love bait-casting reels also. These reels are just great for heavy line and most bait-casting rods are heavy duty making them a great combination for catching big fish on lures. Fly reels are unique. Every other reel is made for casting the line, however, fly reels are made for holding the line. You strip line from the reel with your hand and use the rod to cast the line. You don't even touch the reel while casting with a fly rod. Fly reels range in quality and in price and you definitely get what you pay for. If you are fishing for small fish, you can get a quality reel for a price that won't deplete your bank account. If you are going after big salmon or big saltwater game fish, you are going to spend a lot of money for a quality reel. If you invest in a good reel, take care of it and it will last you many years.
