Questions to Ask Before Purchasing Fishing Reels

Buying fishing reels is an important part of being a fisher.
You don't want to get out to your favorite fishing area with a
shabby reel and not be able to catch the fish you want. You also
don't want to end up with equipment that doesn't meet your needs
or that isn't easy enough to use for you.

For these reasons, you should ask yourself some important
questions before you choose your fishing reels.

Which Type of Fishing Reels Work?

Fishing reels come in a wide variety of types but for most
basic fishing you only have two possibilities: spinning or
casting reels. If you're new to fishing then you'd probably be
better off choosing a spinning reel because they are easier to
use. You'll also find a number of different types of spinning
reels to choose from. Many of these are good for using bait to
catch fish.

On the other hand, casting reels are a little more difficult
and take some experience to master. If you're going to be using
lures then using a casting reel would be an ideal choice.
Which Type of Water am I Fishing in?

Obviously, you're going to have two choices: salt water or
fresh water. You may also choose to fish in both types of water.
Now many experts will tell you to choose fishing reels that are
designed specifically for those types of water. You could do
that. However, you don't really need to.

In most cases, salt water isn't going to be any more
destructive to your reel than any other type of water. Of
course, you don't want to dunk the reel into the water and hold
it in there for long periods of time. You also want to follow
proper maintenance for your fishing reels at all times.

The only time this is going to be different is if the reel
contains magnesium. Magnesium is highly corrosive especially
when it comes in contact with salt water. However, only very
expensive fishing reels contain magnesium so this is rarely
going to be a problem.

Fishing Reels and Attracting Fish

Another consideration when choosing your fishing reels is
whether you want to use bait or a lure to attract fish. Also,
the specific type and size of bait and lure you want to use can
also have an impact on the reel you want to pick. The weight of
the lure, for example, will have an impact on the reel you
choose because of the line capacity that of the reel.

Of course, this means that you're going to need to know the
answer to these questions before you go shopping for fishing
reels. If you're not an experienced fisher, you should do some
research and talk to other fishers before you make that decision
and start your search.
