Help Choosing Baitcaster Reels
Baitcasting reels are great for a wide variety of fishing and they are extremely popular when bass fishing. Many people love bait casting reels because they give you a great amount of control over your fishing line. It can often be difficult to choose a quality baitcaster reel for your fishing arsenal so knowing what options you have is important.
When choosing a baitcaster you’ll want to know what conditions you’ll be fishing in, whether it is saltwater or fresh water fishing. After deciding on which type of water you’ll be fishing you’ll want to decide what weigh of line you’ll be using most so you can get a reel with the proper weight and length handling capabilities. Below are some of the more popular and reliable bait caster reels.
Daiwa Strikeforce 100HA Baitcast Reel
The Strikeforce baitcasting reels by Daiwa are known for being extremely affordable and having reliable performance. With a 6.3 gear ratio this reel can bring in 28 inches of line in a single turn of the handle. Weighing only 8.3 ounces makes this reel light weight so learning to cast is a breeze. Daiwa’s Strikeforce can spool up to 125 yards of 14 lbs line or 150 yards of 12 lbs fishing line and reels it in super quick.
Abu Garcia Ambassadeur 4600C4 Baitcast Reel
One of the most popular baitcasting reels on the market is the Ambassadeur line of reels by Abu Garcia. For years the Ambassadeurs have become known for ease of use and high quality workmanship. The 4600C4 is the entry level in the Ambassadeur line and features a fast line retrieval system that can hold up to 170 yards of 10 lbs line. This is a truly classical design that will perform for years to come on both saltwater and fresh water fishing.
