Frequently asked questions

How do I choose the right size fishing reel?

Reel size should be matched to your fishing rod and the line weight you plan to use. Smaller reels (1000-3000 series) are great for freshwater and light inshore fishing. Medium reels (4000-6000 series) are versatile for a wide range of saltwater applications. Large reels (8000 series and up) are for big game offshore fishing.

Which fishing reel brands do you recommend?

We carry a wide selection of the world's top reel brands to fit every budget and need. For reliability and performance, you can't go wrong with SHIMANO,PENN,DAIWA, or OKUMA. For the ultimate in high-performance spinning reels, we recommend VAN STAAL. Our experts can help you choose the best brand and model for your fishing style.

What is a lever drag vs. a star drag on a conventional reel?
  • Star drag reels use a star-shaped wheel next to the handle to adjust drag. They are reliable, easy to use, and great for a variety of fishing styles.
  • Lever drag reels use a lever to apply a pre-set amount of drag. They offer more precise drag control, which is crucial when fighting large, powerful fish, making them a favorite for big game and tournament anglers.
What's the difference between a spinning and baitcasting reel?

Spinning reels are easier to learn and excel with lighter lines and lures. Most anglers start here. The reel hangs underneath the rod.

Baitcasting reels sit on top of the rod and offer better casting accuracy with heavier lures and braid. Steeper learning curve, but worth it for power and precision.

Do you carry electric reels for deep drop fishing?

Yes, we have a great selection of electric reels from top brands like PENN and LINDGREN-PITMAN. These reels are essential for deep drop fishing, allowing you to retrieve heavy rigs from extreme depths with the push of a button. They are a game-changer for targeting species like swordfish, grouper, and tilefish.
