Nobody doubts that one of the main elements of the angler's equipment is the reel. The choice of the right reel depends to a great extent on whether or not you get results in each fishing day.

Below we summarize what should be the basic characteristics to take into account when selecting your fishing reel:

-NUMBER OF BEARINGS: the most important thing to take into account in relation to the subject of bearings is that a large number of bearings will provide smoothness of operation and longevity to the reel. In spite of that, it is obvious to say that the bearings should be of the highest quality (better 4 quality bearings than 8 mediocre ones), so we generally recommend always to choose prestigious brands that can guarantee the durability of their bearings or, in the last case, the possible replacements.

-RECUPERATION: ratio between the coil and the crank: each turn of the crank corresponds to a number of turns of the coil.

On the subject of recovery speed, the points to be taken into account are:

*Generally, reels that have a recovery of 4 to 5 turns have a higher power than those that can give 6 turns.

*A fast retrieve will allow us to fish more easily in upstream positions. For these cases we will look for a speed higher than 0.60 m. per crank turn.

*A high retrieve will allow us to return more quickly to the fishing action.

*The speed of retrieve also allows us to retrieve a great length of line during the combat phases with a big fish, something very important in the case of trawling reels.

*If you are a "calm" angler, opt for a fast retrieve speed; if you are not, you should opt for a slow retrieve.

*A correct retrieve speed will allow us to give the lure the right animation to attract the fish.

*Whenever we fish at long distances (spin fishing, coup...), it is important that we look for fast retrieve reels, to try to reduce the retrieve times.

- BRAKE: The mission of the brake is to put pressure on the spool, allowing it to skid to yield line at the moment it receives the pressure: the objective, to allow the fish to run away from the line to make it wear out physically, which will undoubtedly promote an easier retrieve.

The first premise for selecting between front or rear brake is the accessibility to it:

*Beginners: it is recommended that they opt for the rear brake, since it is more accessible and therefore easier to use.

*Regular fishermen: they will prefer a front brake, which offers greater strength and a more precise and technical adjustment.

-CAPACITY: On the subject of capacity of choice will depend on the frequency of fishing and the technical ability of the angler, so that for beginner anglers: a large capacity reel will be preferable, allowing for stronger line diameters.

-WEIGHT: The weight of the reel allows to balance the rod and reel set to the convenience of the angler. This weight depends on the volume and components in a fundamental point in case of long fishing days.

In short, there are a multitude of different reels, of all kinds of prices, but we recommend that you do not skimp when buying your reel, a good investment will mean the purchase of a good reel that can accompany you throughout your life as an angler.
