i need a long casting reel for where i fish
I use a Shimano Baitrunner or a Shimano Sedonna reel, yet casting is more about the fishing pole and technique rather than the reel. As far as fishing poles, St. Croix and Lamiglas are best for distance. As far as technique, check out the video.
MegaMel walks you thru the basics of using a spinning reel for fishing at Lake of the Ozarks.
I know it gets brittle and twisted if you used it should I replace it to go bullhead fishing
Don't think I'd go with it, best ta' be on the safe side and respool some new line on. Only my opinion;)... < ' ( (( > <
Note: Fishin' line will be o.k., if stored in a' cool dry place but, not to an excessive period of time...

its just for trout so any is fine...but the for the price of those that your looking at...i would look else where and get a better one...
My dad loves the sport of fishing as much as i do, but his money is very low. He owns only 2 rods and reels, which he uses for carp, suckers and catfish. Both reel/rods are very old, one being the Zebco 33 combo, and the other a Johnson Century combo. I have talked with him about getting him a good rod/reel because, he has always been there for me ... I don't know why i didn't get him another one years ago ...
ok, here's what he likes .
1.) Spincasters. He likes spinning reels, and dreadfully hates baitcasters, as a joke he said he would buy out every baitcasting company and burn all their reels! LMAO ... He said he would want a spincaster, also I'm about 90% in on getting a spincasting outfit, and the other 10 on a spinning combo.
2.) He doesn't like a long rod. 6' is big enough, as he puts it. Easy to carry, and transport. If 6'6 is available it will be alright also.
3.) He fishes for carp, catfish and suckers as said.
4.) The combo should cost less than 45 bucks, and can be bought from Wal-Mart.
5.) And his favorite brands are Zebco, Johnson and Abu Garcia.
He swears by the old 33's, and says that the new ones are not nearly as good ... You think the Platinum series 33 would be any better than the Authentic one?
Thanks to all.
the platinum would be a great one. match it up with a nice ugly stick.
but l know you're going to do that, anyway.
Baitcasting or spincasting would be fine Got around hundred dollars
Bump your bucks a bit and you can get a 113h combo for $159 more or less and this will be good for most average shark fishing.
Bass pro,Walmart or your local tackle dealer would be your best option for service and the knowledge!
Once upon a time, all that was needed to go fishing was a cane pole and can of worms. A boat and motor was almost considered an extravagance. Those days are long gone. Or are they?
Contrary to the perception one might get from TV, magazines or a visit to a sporting goods store, fishing need not be expensive or complicated.
“Fishing can be as simple or as complicated as you want to make it,” said Mike Kurre, mentoring program coordinator for the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR). “All it takes is some basic knowledge and equipment to have a fun, relaxing fishing experience. And it’ s even more enjoyable when you take a youngster or two along.”
In today’s hectic world, many youth don’t get an opportunity to enjoy fishing because they don’t have an adult in their life to take them. And one reason some adults don’t take those youngsters is because they themselves have not learned how to fish.
“People see the advertisements and the TV fishing shows with all the high-tech, fancy equipment, the big boats, and the overwhelming selection of lures, bait, and accessories and they don’t know where to start,” Kurre said. “And so too often they don’t start, not realizing how simple it can really be.”
Old School Walleye Fishing Family Secrets
Walleye fishing reels – Walleye Fishing Tackle For Success!
Your choices of walleye fishing reels depends on your walleye fishing technique. Anglers who regularly use several fishing techniques during a day of fishing often include in their walleye fishing tackle, three or four combo rod & reel outfits, each set up different with lures or live bait setups.
I recommend you use the following tips when you select your walleye fishing reels to mount to your walleye fishing rods.
It is very important that you pay close attention to balancing your casting and sensitivity needs on your walleye fishing reels with the correct specifications on your walleye fishing rods. Make sure you match your walleye fishing lure, walleye fishing jig, and walleye fishing live bait weights with the correct line recommendation walleye fishing reel, and walleye fishing rod combination when setting up your walleye fishing rigs. For example, if you attempt to use a reel intended for 12 - to- 20 pound line with a rod designed for 4 to 8 pound test the outfit will be butt-heavy.Too much weight on the butt end makes casting difficult because it interferes with your wrist snap. And weight dampens the sensation from a subtle bite. Matching rod and reel combinations are a must, and One of the most important pieces of your walleye fishing tackle.
When selecting a Spinning reel, look for the following features:
#1 A rear Mounted drag.
#2 A skirted spool of adequate size.
#3 A bail with strong spring tension. If the bail does not close all the way, the line will ride on the bail itself rather than on the roller. When you attempt to set the hook, the bail will open up enough to line come off of the spool. Some of the best spinning reels have a spring on each side of the bail.
#4 A free-turning bail roller. The roller must must turn when the line passes over, If it does not, heat and abrasion will damage the line and may wear a grove in the roller.
