Spinning Reels

Spinning reels are good for all purpose fishing. People enjoy using a spinning reel because they are fun to use and reliable. Casting is a cinch, you have to flip up the guard, and hold the line with your finger. The line has tension against your finger when you cast, so it feels as if you can throw the bait farther. There is also no backlash, as with a low profile or baitcast reel, if you don’t stop the line once it hits the water. Some people also enjoy watching the reel spin while it reels in the bait. When the fish is on the line you may not notice, but you will notice on the 10 times you reel in your bait with no bite. These are useful in both fresh and salt water.
