Spinning Reel - The Right Choice

Coils

Anyone who has ever experienced the inexplicable feeling inherent in a man when fishing, knows how difficult it is to endure until the end of the week without fishing, when all his thoughts are aimed at collecting gear and leaving for the place where his favorite pastime is waiting.

However, it often happens that some items of equipment fail, in particular mechanical devices, such as a spinning reel. And you need to run to the store to get a new one. But how to determine which one is needed in a huge variety of models sold? On the box, of course, you can read about several parameters that characterize the spinning reel. Firstly, the gear ratio, showing the number of turns of fishing line that will fall on the spool as a result of one revolution, as well as its capacity, size and number of bearings. But without certain knowledge the inscriptions on the label alone can not do. For example, reels without ball bearings are recommended for beginners and spinners, and expensive reels equipped with PTFE bearing bushings that facilitate the rotation of the roller are necessary at high loads on the rod, since they are absolutely stable. In general, a cross-sectional drawing of the mechanism of this gear will help those who understand it to determine all the pros and cons of this product.

How to choose a coil

Typically, specialized stores “dump” dozens of different models in front of the buyer, which are united only by their purpose - “spinning reel”, but otherwise they are completely different: in color, in appearance, in material, diameter, etc. Moreover, not always a high price is a guarantee of quality and durability. However, an experienced angler will always figure out what kind of spinning reel he needs, and he will leave the store with the correct model. First, when buying, you need to rely on two factors: which fish are supposed to be caught and in what type of pond. It is known that spinning reels intended for large individuals differ from equipment for small underwater inhabitants. The prospective fishing spot - a river, a lake, etc., also matters, so that, based on the depth and topography of the bottom, you can choose the right spinning piece.

Coil Types

The spinning reel is non-inertial and inertial. The first species is considered the most common. Due to its ease of use, minimal risk of “beard” formation and casting distance of light lures, this variety is the most demanded in the market. Many experienced anglers always have in their arsenal Shimano spinning reels with front friction reels, setting off for rather complicated long-range and power asp fishing.

This is due to the fact that the first jerk of a large asp is sometimes of such incredible strength that with improper equipment can lead to damage to the rod.

In order to somehow diversify fishing, many decide to catch on the track or maintaining bait using the movement of the boat. Coils for trolling, and this is the name of this type of fishing, must be very powerful, able to withstand sufficient loads, because trophies in this case exceed five kilograms in weight.
