Then you have the traditional spinning reel with bail arm which is the most popular. Baitcasting reel This reel is mainly used by sea anglers and can be very hard to master, as you cast the spool spins to allow the line to come off the spool, you need to keep that under control as you can end up with a birds nest of line because the line has come off to quick and tangled. Spinning Reel The spinning reel is the most common type of reel, and one of the easier to use. they come in many different sizes from Big pit reels to smaller spooled reels for lighter gear.
