Your choice of fishing reel will make or break your fishing trip; ask any angler. Before you order one from Public Lands, consider your specific needs. We offer several different types of reels.
Spin cast Reels
Spincast reels are fast and low fuss. That means they're great for beginners.
They don't tangle easily, and you can use them one-handed. Spin cast reels also reduce backlash; however, you can't cast as far out with these. They're ideal for catching smaller fish.
Spinning Reels
Spinning reels are a popular choice. They're not quite as newbie-friendly as spin cast reels, but they offer more control. These don't do as well with heavy lures, though.
Baitcasting Reels
Baitcasting reels require a bit more skill. With these, you have to work harder to keep your cast under control. Once you master this reel, you can catch fairly large fish.
Conventional Reels
Conventional reels come in multiple varieties for different purposes. They're especially effective for catching big fish in deep water, making them a favorite of offshore anglers.
However, these are on the difficult side to use. They require more movement on your end to keep the line where it should be.
Fly Fishing Reels
Fly fishing reels are single-action. With each revolution of the handle, you get one revolution of the spool. That keeps your body in touch with every aspect of the casting process.
Of course, fishing reels aren't useful on their own. You should also check out our fishing rods to find the right match for your reel.
