Fishing reels come in every possible shape, size, price and design imaginable. So if you are new to the sport here are some basics on the types of fishing reels available. The different uses depending on the design will also be tackled to help you get acquainted before you fall hook line and sinker to a sport you know nothing about. Being armed with proper information before any reel shopping trips will save you the time but money as well. Here are the four basic types of reels:
Spinning Reel
The most common type of reel, it has an exposed spool, and the wire loop that moves around it is called a bail. The bail will be the fishing line’s guide back to the spool. A drag adjustment is present in this kind of reel; an anti reverse apparatus lets you know when to stop cranking. Such reels can be spotted below the rod, where as the spincasting reel as its mechanism mounted on top. The biggest drawback to this type of reel is that it’s prone to tangles more than a spincasting reel. Spinning reels can however be cast much further.
Spincasting Reel
The most basic type of reel is the spincasting reel. Young fishermen often begin with this fishing reel. It is completely enclosed in a housing, with the line coming out of a small whole at the end of it. The spindle inside the housing holds the line, a trigger on the backside for line casting, a favorite among beginners for its tangle free lines, easy casting characteristic with only one drawback which is its inability to be cast farther that most reels.
Fly Fishing Reel
The fly fishing reel has hands down the simplest design of all available fishing reels. The spool is drum like with a whole for the line out. Fly casting is a little tricky and is considered by most as an art. The unavailability of gear reduction leaves the fisherman to work up a sweat and fight with the fish head on. If this were a wrestling match, no tag teams in this case.
The Baitcasting Reel
Mounted on top of the fishing rod, similar to the spincasting reel, and is often compared to a miniature winch. A perpendicular arrangement is done to the spool and rod while the crank is on either left or right side depending on personal preference. The bailcasting reel is commonly used for salt water fishing. Practice is needed in able to properly cast this type of reel. It tangles faster than any of the other reel types.

cory t asked:

I know I’m asking for it with this question. So before you start, here’s why. I own both and yes I can fish with them. Here is my observation. Other than a faster retrieve, that’s about all I can see a baitcaster has to offer. I fish my equipment hard and I take care of my equipment. I can do anything with my spinning reel that I can do with my baitcaster like flipping or pitching. My spinning reels take the workload better and last longer for half the price. I’ve burned up 3 baitcaster in the last year and I’m tired of shelling out more money everytime. I cast hard and expect a lot from my reels…..is there a baitcaster I won’t destroy in more than 3 years.
