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?

Conventional?

I would say use whatever you feel comfortable with. Personally I find
spinning tackle to be the easiest to fish with, but I have fished with
plenty of people who like baitcasting to the point of prejudice.

Personally I think spincasting tackle is probably the least prooblematic for
somebody with no skills, but my daughter proved me wrong on that by handling
spinning tackle like a pro her first time after struggling with spincast
tackle on several outings.

Okay,

It is all a matter of choice then? You mean it dosent matter what type of
reel you use in what "kind of water"? Here I mean lake, sea ect.

I think the differences are more based on type of bait used, an to a certain
degree on preference. I like small bait casters for pitching and flipping,
but I'll switch to spinning rig for almost anything else, and for all light
weight baits.

I like a big bait caster for trolling ocean or lake, but prefer a spinning
reel for working live bait.

Really we need to know what you plan to do before we can say. Then its
probably more a matter of rod weight, action, and speed first and foremost
to meet the need then an appropriate reel to go with it.
