Now let's talk about the basic classification of fish reels:

                      
1) SPINNING REEL: There are two main categories - closed and open. In China, it is customary to call the closed spinning wheel "pig's beak wheel". For traditional Chinese fishermen, the understanding and use of the fishing line wheel are not quite popular, so the ease of chirality of the fishing line wheel is very important. The "CLOSED SPINNING REEL" is specially designed and made for novices. The biggest difference between the fishing line wheel and other spinning wheels is that it is used with the gun handle. The open type spinning wheel mainly includes front brake and rear brake, and the spinning wheel of the front brake has more advantages than the rear brake. The front brake thread cup and the rear brake spindle make the spinning wheel of the front brake theoretically more efficient than the rear brake. Others, such as SPIN RUNNER REEL, SPIN CASTER REEL, SURF RUNNER REEL, are adjustments made for different environments.
In recent years, the promotion of Luya Diao method in China has developed rapidly, and spinning wheels have become the most familiar fishing line wheels in China. You may think that Lu Yalun can't be used for fishing? This is not the case. Luya fishing method is the translation of LURE FISHING, that is, the imitation bait fishing method. Common imitative bait (dummy bait) include: MINNOW, CRANK, VIB, PENCIL, iron plate and glitter, and SPINNER&SPOON. It is not surprising that spinning wheels are also widely used in Luya fishing, and the Luya wheel I refer to should be in the traditional sense, which is called "water drop wheel" (similar in shape) in China. In Luya, the spinning wheel and Luya wheel use different Luya poles. The spinning wheel corresponds to the straight handle Luya pole, while the Luya wheel corresponds to the gun handle Luya pole. The former fishing line wheel is located below the fishing rod, and the latter fishing line wheel is located above the fishing rod.
2) FLY REEL: Flying fishing is considered as the "ballet" in fishing, and strictly speaking, it is also a kind of Luya fishing method. The bait used is fly (hook). Fly fishing is one of the most widely used stream fishing in foreign countries. It is highly praised. Fly fishing requires large space to facilitate fly fishing. Therefore, we often see foreign fly fishermen fly fishing in streams with waterproof boots. According to different types of fish, fly fishing can be divided into trout fly, salmon fly, tuna fly (sea fishing), etc. Fly fishing is also suitable for sea fishing. Most of the fly fishing wheels are equipped with mechanical braking systems. However, in Asia, Taiwan, China, Japan and some countries in South Asia have a fly fishing wheel without mechanical braking systems, which is often referred to as the "front wheel". This kind of fishing wheel requires the fisher to have quite skilled skills, which is the hand brake fly fishing wheel.
3) BAITCASTING REEL: described in 1). In China, both the "water drop wheel" and the "drum wheel" are used to be called BAITCASTING REEL. Because the "water drop wheel" has more thread winding than the spinning wheel, it is more suitable for long distance casting bait fishing. The weight of the dummy bait used is large for long distance casting.
4) TROLLING REEL/BIG GAME REEL. Many foreign fishermen also think that TROLLING REEL is a kind of ugly and bulky fishing reels, but it is not suitable for dealing with "big things" in the sea. It has huge braking force and the maximum fishing weight can reach nearly tons. Marlins, swordfish and sharks are its main target fish. Among them, the rock liner can also be classified as a sea liner (JIGGING REEL [1]), which is designed for offshore or offshore areas with rocks at the bottom.
Due to different descriptions, there are still many descriptions derived from the evolution of these four kinds of fish reels, so I will not introduce them one by one. SPINCAST REEL, CARP REEL, etc. To master these reels, we need to know and understand them together with fishing rods, baits and other fishing gear accessories. Spinning wheel is widely used, and the competition of spinning wheel products in domestic and foreign markets is quite fierce. As the fly fishing movement is highly respected, former Russian President Vladimir Putin and current US President Barack Obama are both fly anglers, so the competition of fly fishing products in foreign markets is also quite fierce. However, there are few excellent domestic producers of fly fishing products.
