In fishing, you need something to tempt the fish enough to bite a lure, and something to haul it once you’ve caught it. A rod and reel set up can mean anything from a simple line tied to a stick to high-tech multi geared reels strapped to modern tubular metal rods.
There are many choices, and sometimes the choice will indicate what to fish for or how the fish will be caught. Here are six different reels available to anglers of all types of experience.
- Bait Casting Reels
- Conventional Reels / Trolling Reels
- Spinning Reels
- Fly Reels
- Multiplier/Multiplying Reels
- Single Action Reels
