Hi all,

I have been looking at some tackls shops, but i'm confused.
What are the difference between: baitcast, spinning, conventional ect.
reels
?
What about sal****er and freshwater? Any big difference?

OK, here's how I see it.

Spinning tackle, in freshwater applications is typically used for fishing
lighter weight lures and live bait. Usually, spinning rods have a softer
action and are designed for lighter line. Most times, spinning tackle is
used in more open water, away from heavy cover, snags and obstructions.

Baitcasting tackle is used more for heavy line and casting lures of heavier
weight. The rods are most times designed for more backbone (i.e. stiffness)
to handle the leavy lures and for pulling fish from heavy cover, weeds,
snags and stumps.

I'm not sure what you mean by "conventional" reels though. This could be
spincasting (i.e. closed faced reel) These reels are usually used by the
less experienced or more casual angler. Drag systems are usually not as
good as on baitcasting or spinning tackle and they don't handle heavy lines
very well. But, for those that don't fish very often, or put too extreme
demands on their equipment, spincasting can do just fine.

As far as differences between sal****er and freshwater tackle, there are
major differences, and then again, there are no differences at all. It all
depends on the size of the fish that you're targeting. I've gone sal****er
fishing with the same tackle that I use for fishing walleyes and bass, and
then again, I've used tackle that had rods that had all the bend of a pool
cue, with a reel the size of a coffee can.

Does this help at all? Let us know what you're intending on fishing for and
we can refine the answers a bit better.
