Both fly and baitcasting reels can be used for saltwater fishing, but they are designed for different types of fishing. Fly reels are typically used for fly fishing, which is a method of fishing where the angler uses a fly rod and a fly line to cast a lightweight fly or lure. Fly fishing is often used to catch trout, salmon, and other freshwater fish, but it can also be used for saltwater fishing. Baitcasting reels, on the other hand, are typically used for freshwater fishing and are known for their accuracy and power. They are designed to handle heavier lines and lures than spinning reels, making them ideal for catching larger fish such as bass, pike, and musky12.
According to Salt Water Sportsman, “Because it’s the weight of the line that pulls the fly to the target, instead of the other way around, fly tackle enables an angler to place a baitfish, shrimp or crab imitation within the strike zone more delicately and quietly than with spinning or baitcasting gear.” However, baitcasting reels can be more accurate than spinning reels when casting in windy conditions1.
Ultimately, the choice between fly and baitcasting reels depends on your personal preference and the type of fishing you plan to do.
