Best Fishing Reels in 2020

Spinning fishing is an exciting activity. The importance of choosing the right reel and rod cannot be overstated. The fishing reel is designed for storing and laying fishing line, for casting and withdrawing prey. The quality and parameters of the device directly affect the result. Old reels are still used by experienced anglers.

More efficient models have replaced. They make it easier to cast, guide and fish. There are many nuances to consider when choosing a coil. The large number of devices on the market makes it difficult to find an acceptable option for beginners. As part of the article, we will consider the best fishing reels in 2020, types of equipment and selection criteria.

Which coil to choose

When choosing a reel for spinning, you should consider the type and material of the device. There are three types of coils: inertial, multiplier, non-inertia. The first type of device is used by conservative anglers. The disadvantage of these reels is the lack of braking when casting. The drum rotates after the end of the refueling. Spinning reels are a universal type and are suitable for any kind of fishing. The multiplier reels have no equal when fishing big fish, with a large attachment, for jerking conclusions.

There are plastic and metal options. Plastic reels are suitable for ultralight fishing and, accordingly, rods. With the same dimensions, metal devices are heavier. They are not suitable for a light rod. This is ideal for long distance casting for better line glide.

For ease of use, the reel and rod must be of the same quality. As a rule, experienced fishermen purchase a rod a little more expensive than a reel. When re-profiling, you will have to change only the second part of the spinning rod. The reel should be chosen for catching certain fish, but not for the rod itself, as beginners sometimes do. It is necessary to choose a good spinning action together with a functional and lightweight reel with good braking for getting the prey.
