Fishing reels come in many different variations, depending on the specific application for which the fishing reel is to be used. Each type of reel belongs to three main categories of fishing reels; Casting, Spinning & Fly Fishing Reels. Many of the most recognized names in the tackle industry like Daiwa, Shimano and Penn produce a full line of these types of reels for both freshwater and saltwater anglers.
Over the years, fishermen have come to label the three types of reels according to descriptive characteristics of a particular reel. This has lead to confusion as to the proper terminology that should be used when referring to a specific reel. I will try and explain why a reel is labeled as such and why the same type of reel, can sometimes be assigned two different labels, one for freshwater and another for saltwater fishing.
Casting Reels: When fished in freshwater, this type of fishing reel is commonly known as a baitcast, baitcaster or baitcasting reel. Some people tend to break up the two words into bait-cast, caster and casting. Whichever your preference is, you are still referring to the same reel. When these types of reels are fished in saltwater, they are typically 릴게임 by function and features. For deep sea fishing, casting reels are known as conventional fishing reels and anglers have created descriptive labels for these such as star-drag, lever-drags, high-speed, jigging, big-game, two-speed & trolling reels.
Spinning Reels: There are two types of spinning reels that make up this category of reels, which happens to be the most popular category of reels. There is the enclosed-spool spincast, spincaster or spincasting reel, which should be used for freshwater fishing and teaching kids or novice anglers how to fish. The more common version, the spinning reel, which has an open spool and bail, can be utilized in both freshwater or saltwater applications. From ultra-light tackle, to heavy duty saltwater jigging, spinning rods and reels are found in most fishing arsenals.
Fly Reels: These reels are designed to cast both freshwater and saltwater flies, wet or dry. They are usually spooled with a backing, line, fly tippet and then a leader, which your fly is then tied to. Normally used for freshwater fishing, fly rod and reel combos are continually becoming stronger and more powerful, creating saltwater opportunities that were never considered possible. Saltwater fly fishing combos have been gaining a tremendous following of anglers and are now being used to set new angling world records for saltwater fish species.
