The baitcasting reel is at its best when fishing for medium-sized fish, such as pike, trout, or salmon. There are reels available for both small and very large fish as well, but it is somewhat a matter of preference and habit whether to use a spinning reel in these extremes. However, it is true that using a baitcasting reel smoothly takes some practice, and a spinning reel is an easier option for a beginner angler.
Please note that the handedness of a baitcasting reel cannot be changed. Handedness indicates on which side of the reel the handle is located.
































































































A baitcasting reel provides an excellent feel for the line, is extremely durable in its construction, and its drag system is simply outstanding. However, a single reel can have multiple drag systems, which is why smooth operation of a baitcasting reel requires practice. A baitcasting reel can have, for example, a friction drag, a click drag, and a centrifugal or magnetic drag. Each type of drag is used in slightly different situations, and the drags are adjusted based on the lure used in casting, the wind, and the angler's skill level.
A round-profile baitcasting reel is excellent, for example, for pike fishing where power is required from the reel, and a low-profile baitcasting reel is recommended for casting fishing, such as jigging.
