At A Glance: Fishing Reels
A conventional reel is really a miniature winch which has a spool that holds line. A handle that turns the spool through one or more different gear ratios. The spool is made to turn in one direction. These reels have a form of "Drag" control, which is a device to put pressure on the spool to create resistance against taking the line off the spool, or reversing the spool direction. The size of the spool determines the size of the reel.
- An inshore reel is a type of fishing reel that has been made with metals, plastics, and other materials that are not meant for continuous salt water environment.
- A spincast reel is a very simple reel with an enclosed spool with the line installed on the spool, a button to release the spool, and a crank handle that engages the spool after the line has been released. These reels also have a "Drag" control to place pressure on the spool to control the amount of line being left out.
- Spinning reels are a type of fishing reel that has the line on a spool, and a bail that opens up to allow the line to pay out, and a handle to close the bail and bring the line back in. This type of reel also has a "Drag" control to adjust the amount of line and pressure that the line has to leave the reel.
- Offshore reels are a type of fishing reel that are made with metals and other components that can function continuously in the saltwater environment
