What are the classifications of fishing reels?

1) Spinning reels: There are two main categories - closed and open. It is customary in China to call the closed spinning reel "pig mouth reel". For traditional Chinese fishermen, the understanding and use of fishing reels are not quite popular, so the ease of use of fishing reels is very important. The "pig mouth reel" is specially designed and made for novices. The biggest difference between this fishing reel and other spinning reels is that it is used with a lure rod with a gun handle. There are mainly two types of open spinning wheels, front brake and rear brake, and the spinning wheel with front brake has more advantages than rear brake. The front brake brakes the line cup, and the rear brake brakes the main shaft, so the theoretical utilization rate of the spinning wheel of the front brake is greater than that of the rear brake.

In recent years, the domestic lure fishing method has developed rapidly, and the spinning reel has become the most familiar fishing reel in China. You may think that lure reels cannot be used for lure fishing? This is not the case. Lure fishing is the translation of LURE FISHING, which is bait fishing. Common artificial baits (false baits) include: Minnow, Crank, VIB, PENCIL, iron armor and spoons (SPINNER&SPOON) and so on. It is not surprising that the spinning wheel is widely used in lure fishing, and the lure wheel I am referring to should be in the traditional sense, which is commonly called "water drop wheel" (similar in shape) in China. In the lure, there is a difference between the lure rod used by the spinning reel and the lure reel. The spinning reel corresponds to the straight handle lure rod, while the lure reel corresponds to the gun handle lure rod. The former fishing reel is located in Below the rod, the latter reel is placed above the rod.

2) Fly fishing reel: Fly fishing is considered to be the "ballet" in fishing sports. Strictly speaking, it is also a kind of lure fishing method. The bait used is fly (hook). Fly fishing is the most widely used type of foreign stream fishing, and it is highly respected. Fly fishing requires a large space for fly fishing to carry out fly fishing loops (loops), so you often see foreign fly fishing. Fly fishing in the stream with waterproof boots. Fly fishing can be divided into trout fly, maha fly, tuna fly (sea fishing) and so on according to different fish hunting species. Fly fishing is also suitable for saltwater fishing. Most fly fishing reels have a mechanical brake system. However, in Asia, Taiwan, Japan and some countries in South Asia have a fly fishing reel without a mechanical brake system—the often referred to as "front reel". The reel requires the fisherman to have quite skilled skills, which is the handbrake fly fishing reel.

3) Lure wheel: described in 1). It is customary in China to call both "water drop reel" and "drum reel" as BAITCASTING REEL. Since "water drop reel" has more winding volume than spinning reel, it is more suitable for long-distance trolling fishing, and the artificial bait used is heavier. Big enough to throw away.

4) Sea fishing reels: In China, sea fishing reels are used to be called "boat fishing reels" or "iron board reels", mainly because of their size and weight. Many foreign fishermen also think that TROLLING REEL is an ugly and bulky type of fishing reel, but it is not suitable for dealing with "big things" in the sea. It has a huge braking force and the maximum catch It can weigh nearly a ton. Marlin, sailfish, sharks, etc. are the main target fish. Among them, rock fishing reels can also be classified as sea fishing reels, which are generally high-speed spools specially designed for sea areas with rocky reefs at the bottom of offshore or far sea areas.
