Tips to Consider When Choosing the Best Spinning Reel What makes a spinning reel be termed as ultimately the best? Basically it must employ a unique design such that the ease of use is compelling while maintaining the levels of practicality all the same. This means that your spinning reel should have a sufficient line holding capability, a spinning capacity that is high speed and finally, should enable you to throw your line for a good distance. This concurrently gives you the edge to take part in different fishing methods from trolling, top or side fishing to casting. The design and practicality should be up to standard as it is clear. That said, which tips should you be on the lookout for when choosing the best spinning reel? I. Reel body …show more content…
When it comes to the body, it should either be made of aluminum or graphite though it is possible to acquire one which utilizes both. Considering the weight and the strength then aluminum is your best bet but if you are going for durability then a reel made of graphite is exactly what you need (graphite is non-corrosive). The size of the reel all comes down to the size of the fishing line you intend to employ in your fishing activities. A relatively lighter line does not require much just go for the small size reel. However if your lines are say 6, 8 or ten pounds then a medium size reel with those specifications should be your best bet. II. Spools, ball bearings and drag system of the reel Looking at the ball bearings of your reel, the more bearings your reel employs the better it is. More bearings means it works quite smoothly. The minimum number of ball bearings your reel should have is 4. The spool is ideal for holding the line properly, multiplying the level of smoothness in the reel and adding to the casting distance. You can either choose a skirted pool or an internal pool. The drag system plays the part of pressure application on the hooked fish. An ideal drag system should be non-constrictive and smooth i.e. should be able to pull the fish in a steady manner without any break at any tension you may set the drag

As the sport of bass fishing grows, everything seems to be changing rapidly. New Products are being created all of the time. Innovation Is not uncommon at all. Since the sport of fishing is changing so often, so should the fisherman. The reason why is because you could get left behind easily. Fisherman that are finding new rigs and different techniques catch more fish because they are utilizing the fact that the bass have not seen this kind of lure or presentation. The same thing goes for fishing line. It can catch you fish… or cost you them.. New fishing line could help you get fish out of heavy
Fly rods are drastically different from spinning rods. Fly rods can be as big a 12 feet long. The longer the rod they farther you can cast. Fly rods are categorized into weight classes. These weight classes determine the sizes and the weight of the rod; the weights range from a 0-weight, all the way to a 14-weight rod; 0 being the smallest and 14 being the biggest; the lower the number on the rod the lighter the rod; they are also more flexible than longer rods; the average trout fisherman uses somewhere between a 3-weight to a 5-weight rod, depending on the size of fish they are trying to catch (Jardine 53-59). Catching a larger fish on a smaller weight rod takes practice, in that fly rods are very delicate. Fly rods will break very easily if too much pressure is put on the tip of the rod, but if used properly will last a lifetime (Jardine 53). On the other hand, spinning rods are quite sturdy. Most all spinning rods are in the six to eight-foot length. Longer rods are typically stiffer than shorter rods. Spinning rods and fly rods come in three different actions: slow, medium, and fast. Slow action rods are more flexible towards the middle of the rod; medium action rods are a less flexible in the middle and start bending three-fourths of the way up the rod fast action rods are stiff most of the way up the rod and are flexible at about the last two feet of the rod (Jardine 53).

There are two things that should be considered in bass fishing, which are, the bass location on the lake or river and bass catching using different techniques, presentations and baits.
Some of the motor skills needed are coordination, stabilization, gripping and transporting. You need to be able to grip the bait in your hands while putting it on the rod, as well as grip the fishing pole once you have cast your bait into the water. Stabilization is also important. My family fishes on a solid dock, but some people fish on floating docks or on boats which makes keeping your balance essential for this activity. Transportation is an important motor skill when fishing. While fishing you have to be able to transport your bait from the bait bucket onto the hook, then you have to transport the hook and line from the top of the reel into the water, and then once you catch a fish you have to transport the fish off the hook and either back into the water or into storage. Even though there are many different processing skills to fishing I believe that coordination is the most important skill of fishing. While fishing you have to hold the rod in one hand, and turn the handle of the reel with the other all while maintaining your balance. You are constantly faced with completing multiple tasks a once, and coordination will help keep the activity running
This is the best way to get rainbow trout facts that are going to help you out in your future fishing adventures is by actually doing and experimenting in the field itself. Play around with different types of live baits as well. Use the night crawler as well as the trout worms to test and gain experience with. Live minnows work well with trout fishing as well. Salted minnow work well after a heavy rain and the streams are muddy and not very clear. These are good fishing tips that can really help increase your chances of landing the big one. Like I said though if all else fails or this is y0ur fist time then I suggest using the basic night crawler as the best bait to use. Again this is from my personal experience. What I do is I use a gold color hook and I push the worm up the hook covering just about the whole thing just leaving the head or eye of the hook visible. Finding good rainbow trout bait is easy. If find this gold color gives a reflection in the water that the trout can not resist. You need to be careful though and make sure to cover the entire lower portion of the hook and you do not want any part of the lower hook being visible. I said they can’t refuse the gold but trout are not stupid. They are very smart and once they know you might as well move on to another fishing location.Trout
Drag is caused by the disrupted air immediately behind an object moving through fluid/air. It acts perpendicular to and in the opposite direction of travel of the object and impedes the motion of the object. It would make sense that if the drag is minimized, the object will travel farther. Lift or curve in the motion of an object through air is a phenomenon that is noticeable in a ball traveling through fluid/air. This change in direction is due to the effect that spin has on the object in motion.
The types of fish that are available will vary with each type of location and conditions and the person manning a small fishing supply can also give you a quick orientation of what you'll need to catch the most common game in the area you expect to spend time at. If I'm traveling between islands, I'll generally stay away from bait rigs as it's just too much of a hassle and prospects are good enough with a simple lure. Depending upon where you are, however, the colors of the lures and the type of action will make a big difference in your ability to get a chase from the fish in the
The body of the lure is shaped much like a small fish. It is most commonly a shade of gray, and has the basic characteristics of a fish, such as eyes and a mouth. The front of lure is approximately two inches in circumference and gets slightly smaller toward the end. It is made up of a buoyant material that allows it to float close to the surface, where a wounded fish might reside. It is shaped much like a torpedo, and were it not for the large bill at the front of the lure, you might expect it to be very sleek gliding through the water.
As we all know speed is awesome, and it doesn’t stop with fly fishing. With fly fishing you want speed. Speed will help you gain distance. The faster you make your strokes the farther your line is able to extend and go. You need to start your cast off strong not weak to continue going strong. You need to acceleration at the beginning of your cast to get speed. Most of your acceleration comes from your wrist being at your shoulder to the tip of your rod being almost all the way extended (See picture
The distance that a fishing lure or bait can be cast is directly related to the length of the fishing rod and the weight of the lure, bait and any additional weights. Casting is necess...
With smiles on our faces we cast our wisely selected lures into the ocean, but we then encountered our first problem of saltwater fishing. Our lures wouldn’t sink. As soon as they hit the water, the ocean current would just buoy them to the surface and, soon after, down current into the line of a nearby fisherman. Improvising our rigs, we dug the heaviest weights out of our tackle boxes and clamped them onto our lures. Sure enough, we got our lures underwater and under control.
First, when fishing, equipment is very important. It would not be prudent to bring knife to a gunfight, and fishing is just the same. When catching 500 lb. swordfish in saltwater it is important to not bring an ultra-light fly rod. The first step to having the correct equipment is identifying the species to be targeted. Let’s say the target is black bass. Then it id important to have a bait-casting reel with 15 to 20 lb. test line, and a heavy action rod with plenty of length for good hook set. Now I’m not saying it is impossible to catch a bass on lighter tackle, and there is probably fun to be had doing it as well. It is just that this is the most efficient way. Lures and or bait are also extremely important pieces of equipment when fishing. Some examples of lures for black bass would be spinners, jigs, plastic worms, top-water lures, and buzz baits. Bait for black bass fishing would be live minnows, crawfish, or worms, and some dead baits work too such as cut pieces of shad.
To ensure that your ice fishing is successful, you need certain special equipment. Some of the basic and most important tools you must have before going out for ice fishing
The reel on the left is the simpler design. That design has a stationary spindle and a bar that rotates around it to collect the line. On most models the drag works by a screw on the top of the spindle that applies pressure on the spindle to increase or decrease the friction to allow the spindle to spin if the fish applies enough force to overcome the friction. The problem with this design is that once the fish breaks the static friction the resistance to the fish pulling out line decreases and it is very difficult to change while fighting a fish.
