And, we’ve created this website to share that knowledge with you – and make some useful recommendations.

What You Really Need To Know About Fishing Reels

Look…

The first thing you need to know is the type of fishing you are going to do. Are you going to be fishing for:

• Panfish
• Bass
• Northern pike
• Trout

Also, do you know which of the following types of reels you are looking for (if not, we can help you decide):

• Fly fishing reel
• Spincast

Each has their own niche and ideal use on the lake or river.

You’ll want to know a bit about such things as the size and weight of the reel, the drag system, the fishing line capacity, the knobs or handles, and much, much more.

And, finally, we will answer such questions as:

• What size reel is best for bass fishing
• What is the difference between a baitcaster and a spinning reel
