Fishing Reels

It is so nice time we all spending touching the beauty of nature around us during our fishing and this time is real fun time we spend specially if we have the right fishing equipment as we mentioned before about many important fisihing equipment. like  fishing rods , fishing line, fishing luresfishing baits and fishing boat.

Today we will talk about fishing reel.
History of fishing reel back to 17th century but some historian said that Chinese used it in 12th century, until 18th century reel was used just to store the excess line during fishing. Starting from this time some improvements applied to the reels  and many various models were invented using various materials like brass and nickel which we still use till this days. All this improvements to the reel take us to a lot of today's reel models
which are many and specific for many types of fishing even you can find special reels for children.

To choose the suitable reel you have to ask your self 2 questions?
1-    Where will you fish?
This is because fishing reel used to fish in rivers or stream are different from reels used for salt water fishing,  later we will mention some of this types.
2-    Will this reel price fit you budget?
After choosing  the proper reel for your kind of fishing you have to check its price to see if it is fitting you budget or it is more than you can afford and in such cases you can buy a second hand reel  which will be with a better price, and in all cases we recommend for beginner to start with second hand equipment to practice with it and have a good experience and later they can buy new equipment if it fit their budget.

Types of fresh water fishing reels.
-    Fly casting reels are relatively simple and serve more to store the line than to mechanically assist playing the fish.
-    Spinning reels are the easiest for most anglers to use and are suitably robust for most freshwater fishing.
-    spin cast reel addresses the bait casting reel’s backlash and reduces the line twist and snaring sometimes encountered with spinning reels.

Types of salt water fishing reels.
-    Saltwater fly reels are usually bigger in diameter, which provides them with a large line and
     support ability, especially needed for fishing in the ocean.
-    Spinning Reel are mounted below the fishing rod. also called fixed spool reels as it involve a
    fixed spool, it facilitate the use of artificial flies and other baits for trout and salmon.
-    Bait Casting Reel where a bearing supports the revolving spool, which holds the reel, and it is mounted above the rod. It works by moving the rod backwards, followed by a forward snapping, Big game reel is one of its type used for fishing  big fish like sharks, marlin, tuna and sailfish.
-    Spin cast reel very similar to spin reel as they call it its cousin, it is a reel with a fixed spool mounted above the rod, and also can have an external "nose" that protects the fixed spool. And it is good to cast a lighter bait.

Being an expert at fishing won’t happen in one day. It takes practice and patience and all come with time, don’t forget about your fishing license, and always remember that fishing is fun.
Good Luck
