Bait Casting Reels
Thursday, June 17, 2010
Uninformed individuals may use the terms rod and reel interchangeable, but they are in fact two distinct pieces of equipment. The rod is the long shaft that the ling hangs from, while the reel is the device that lets out and winds up the line. There are several varieties of each of these apparatuses.
Baitcast reels are some of the most common and use a bearing supported spool to keep the line organized. This type of reel is mounted on the top of the rod and works well with many types of fishing line. Due to its position on the rod, the bait casting reel is sometimes referred to as the overhead reel.
