No matter what type of fishing you are doing you must have the right equipment. You can have all the knowledge in the world, but if you don’t have the proper tools to get the job done it won’t matter. When I am looking for a reel rather it is a baitcaster, spinning, or a conventional reel. One of the first things I look for is the turn ratio. This is how many times your spool turns per crank of the handle on the reel. For example a 3:1 ratio means for every one time you turn the handle the spool will have turned three times. You may ask why is this important? Well the more that spool turns on each crank of that handle the faster and easier retrieval you will have on your catch. You also want to pay attention to the amount of ball bearings the reel has. The more the better because this will determine how smooth the reel is and basically how much it can handle.
