Buying guide forbest fishing reels

右卷轴是钓鱼一天的重要组成部分，无论您是鳟鱼还是马林鱼钓鱼，您都有很大的选择。钓鱼卷轴可以是复杂的设备，并且做出正确的决定并不容易。您是为专业人士使用的大牌，还是预算钓鱼卷轴也会为您服务，而您会给您更多的钱来花在其余的装备上？

Fishing reel basics

At first glance, there appear to be lots of different types of fishing reels, but essentially there are two:

• Fixed spools

• 核心

修复了线轴卷轴

固定的线轴卷轴在卷轴前部的线轴上有线伤。这是您经典的旋转卷轴布置。线轴不会移动。为了绕线，“贝尔”或“贝尔臂”围绕它旋转。为了在铸造时排队，释放了捆包。

Thefree spoolreel is a variation on this that has an extra drag system. The spool isn't completely free; a small amount of force must be exerted on the line to drag it from the reel – when a fish takes your bait, for example. Turn the handle, and it reverts to a fixed spool.

A替代reel (also called a closed-face reel) is another variation. This has a shroud over the spool, and the line comes out the center. These reels are popular with beginners because they're very easy to cast.

Centerpin卷轴

经典的Centerpin卷轴是用于fly fishing. The line is carried on a central spool that is free to rotate. Line is stopped by the thumb of the angler. The free motion of the spool is stopped by rotating the handle to retrieve the fly.

虽然baitcasterreel looks quite different and is far more versatile, the basic construction and principle are the same. They're often called mid-arbor reels, but it amounts to the same thing. The spool is free to turn during casting, but it engages again when the handle is turned. A set of gears multiplies the turning effect of the handle, so a single turn of the handle will actually rotate the spool several times.

钓鱼卷轴必需品

Drag

Drag is a feature that allows a powerful fish to pull line from the spool during the fight. Without drag, it's likely the line would break. Drag is variable and set by the angler. Better-quality reels usually have smoother drag systems.

轻的

You generally want a reel to be as light as possible. On baitcasters and spinning reels, graphite and aluminum bodies are common for this reason. Saltwater reels need to be more robust, so more metal is used in the construction of those types.

Anti-reverse

Most fishing reels have anti-reverse to prevent the handle from banging you on the knuckles.

Indicator marks

Spools should have indicator marks for line capacity – to signify both when they're full and when you're getting near the end!

Ball bearings

Ball bearings keep everything running smoothly, so the more of them your reel has, the better. They should be stainless steel for greater corrosion resistance. The best are sealed units.

其他考虑因素

Braking system

诱饵具有两个制动系统之一：磁性或离心机。在测试中，两者都表现良好，因此我们没有偏好。

Gear material

Some cheap fishing reels have plastic gears to keep costs down. Metal gears are much more durable.

Gear ratio

齿轮比确定您可以将线路卷入的速度。

A ratio of 5:1 means that every time you turn the handle, the spool goes around five times. In fact, 5:1 is about the slowest, with 9.1:1 the fastest we found. The ratios of 6.2:1 and 6.3:1 are common and very manageable, suiting both beginners and more experienced anglers.

更快的卷轴可提供更高的检索速度，但在缓慢和中端诱饵中很难使用。经验丰富的专业渔民可以从快速卷轴中受益。

行指南

行指南s can be steel, ceramic, or titanium. Titanium would be our top pick, ceramic second.

检索每个曲柄

Closely related to gear ratio is the length of line recovered each time you wind the handle, often referred to as “retrieve per crank.” This length depends on ratio and spool diameter. You should consider 21 inches as a minimum. It's probably a figure that's more important for the competitive angler than the hobbyist who fishes solely for pleasure.

Line capacity

How much line capacity the reel has (of a particular poundage) can make a big difference. Line gets thicker as poundage rises. For example, a reel that takes 150 yards of eight-pound line will only take about 90 yards of 20-pound line – so you can't expect to use the same reel for river fishing one weekend and deep-sea fishing the next!

Fishing reel prices

• 低成本钓鱼卷轴

We usually caution against buying cheap products because of quality and durability issues. However, if you're the kind of angler that just goes out occasionally for fun, you can find a perfectly good spinning reel for between$20 and $30. Add another $10 for an equivalent baitcaster.

• Moderately Priced Fishing Reels

如果你更致力于钓鱼,你会希望to spend a bit beyond budget level. However, it's an extremely competitive market, and top-quality freshwater fishing reels remain surprisingly affordable. There's an enormous choice between$ 50和$ 100, and even the priciest baitcasters are unlikely to top $200.

这些卷轴中的一些可用于轻盐水钓鱼，尽管重要的是检查很重要。许多仅被标记为淡水。尽管可以找到一些专用的盐水卷轴，但价格与淡水卷轴相同，但它们往往昂贵10％至20％。

• Expensive Fishing Reels

Big game reels are a different kettle of fish. They are much larger, offer greater capacity, and are built for a tougher environment. The most expensive fishing reel that came up in our research was an electric saltwater reel that can carry 1,500 feet of 120-pound line. The asking price:$3,500.

尖端

• 对于诱饵卷轴，建议使用10磅或更高的单丝线。它们不会太快地脱离卷轴，如果您得到可怕的反弹，它们更容易解开。

• Braided line is recommended for spinning reels. Pound for pound, it's much thinner than monofilament, and more durable. It is visible in water, which can disturb some fish, so many experienced anglers use a fluorocarbon leader line that can't be seen.

• It's important to fill your fishing reel with the right amount of line. Too little, and you'll reduce your casting distance. Too much, and it will keep overflowing and tangling. Most experts recommend filling to within 1/8-inch full for both baitcasters and spinners.

• "Line memory" is the tendency fishing line has to retain the curl it has when wound on the reel. Monofilament is the worst, fluorocarbon less so, and braided lines hardly suffer from line memory at all.

• Make sure you understand how each part of your reel works before you go fishing, particularly the drag and tension. Learning at home will save you time and frustration when you get out on the water.

常问问题

问：哪个是最好的，诱饵或旋转卷轴？

A.If you're learning to fish, a spinning reel has an easier learning curve. However, beginners soon discover they want more control than a spinning reel offers.

学会铸造需要一些练习，但是旋转的卷轴很少给初学者带来任何问题。诱饵是很棒的卷轴。它们使您能够在更长的距离上铸造较重的诱饵或诱饵，并且可以更准确 - 但是使用它们的诀窍。许多经验丰富的垂钓者更喜欢诱饵，但他们确实需要时间来掌握。

一些垂钓者都购买了两者：在10磅以下的鱼和诱饵捕捞量捕获鱼类时，旋转卷轴。总是有例外，一个钓鱼者和另一个钓鱼者之间肯定会发生辩论。钓鱼的许多乐趣都在尝试不同的钻机。随着您获得经验，您将发展自己的偏好。

Q. What is backlash?

A.Backlash happens when the bait stops moving forward, but line still flows off the reel. With nowhere to go, you get a big tangle, often called a bird’s nest. It can happen with any reel – particularly if you're casting into the wind – but mostly it's a problem for those new to baitcaster reels. Their action demands more control. Lots of fishing books and websites offer good advice, but the bottom line is, get plenty of practice!

问：前阻力和后拖网有什么区别？

A.两者都做同样的工作，允许鱼沿界线而不是打破界线。前后阻力之间的区别与设置调整的卷轴上的位置有关。前拖放调整就在线轴上，因此它倾向于提供更精确的反馈。
