Fishing Fisherman
How do I decide which fishing reel to buy?
I am not a huge fisherman but enjoy fishing for bass, pike, and walleye. I just found out that my reel only holds 6 lb. test line. I can't catch the size of fish that i would like to with 6 lb. test line and i would like a new reel. What should i consider before buying a new reel? also i would like to have a spinning reel.
Oh contraire! oh heavy tackle one! You can use 6 lb. test line to catch just about any fish. In fact, most people overdo the line test thing. Your best friend is your reel's drag. Set properly, you will be able to land much bigger fish than you realize.
Ok, for reels, I'd recommend an open face Shimano. They are reasonably priced, are my very favorite and I own several. Resist the urge to get the biggest you can find. You will have way more fun with smaller gear and lighter action rods. Visit Cabela's website to check on the rod/reel combos or just reels if that's what you want. And check out the ratings from other anglers. I have found this to be a very valuable tool when deciding what I want to buy. Good luck and have fun!
P.S. (go light).
