Low Profile Baitcaster Reels For Sale
Quality Innovation - Low profile reels are generally the most popular way to go when thinking baitcaster. While round profile reels seem to be at their peak, manufacturers keep finding exciting ways to advance the development of low profile reels.
Comfort and Endurance - Anglers enjoy using low profile baitcaster fishing reels because of how comfortable in size they are. They are less bulky and carry less weight than round profile bait caster reels, meaning that you can fish for longer and not get as tired in the arms.
Superior Sensitivity - The round profile fishing reel design is much more rigid than with low profile, offering less flexibility for tackling smaller species. It’s all about stamina, sensitivity, speed and flexibility with low profile baitcasters. The sensitivity will prove vital in your future fishing encounters.
Your Choice of Quality Brands - Due to their compact design, low profile reels go with a vast range of baitcasting fishing rods, and here at Fishing Tackle Shop, you won’t be short on low profile options to choose from. We stock reels from top baitcaster fishing reel manufacturers such as Abu Garcia, Daiwa and Shimano.
Round Profile Models For Sale
Robust Feels for Handling Stress - When choosing from baitcaster reels, the biggest decision is whether to go for a low or round profile design. The round profile is the best choice if you require a reliable reel that can handle more significant stress.
Greater Line Capacity - Round profile is a much more rigid shape than low profile reels. There is a bonus by choosing the round style; they carry more line than your average low profile style. The larger line capacities make round profile perfect for catching the likes of more substantial and harder fighting fish such as barramundi, Murray cod, yellowbelly, Snapper and so much more.
Daiwa and Shimano Models are a popular choice - Our online fishing store is home to a quality range of Shimano, Abu Garcia, Daiwa and other brands. With a number of these being round profile.
Frequently Asked Questions About Baitcaster Reels
If you have only just started looking at baitcasting reels for sale, these frequently asked questions should help you to decide if they are the right choice for your angling activities.
(:1f41f:) How Does a Baitcaster Reel Help with Casting Accuracy?
As we mentioned above, baitcasting fishing reels allow anglers a higher degree of control when casting, and this is something you have probably heard other people say too. The reason for this is that, unlike spinning reels, the spool on a baitcaster reel spins as you cast and the line is sent out. As you become used to the level of resistance the spool provides, you can gauge the force required to cast a certain distance with a high degree of accuracy. It is also possible to adjust the tension of the spool, giving you complete control over how the line is released when casting and when you have a fish running with the bait or lure.
(:1f41f:) What Type of Fish Can I Catch with a Baitcaster Reel?
If northern species such as barramundi, fingermark, mangrove jack or threadfin salmon are on your target list, then baitcaster reels are probably going to be your best option. However, there are no hard and fast rules as to what type of reel to use for certain species of fish.
Still, in general, the spool and design on baitcaster reels allow anglers to control a higher section of the line, which is a distinct advantage when dealing with snaggy fish habitat and the species which hide deep within those snags. This advantage is why Baitcasters are among our best selling style of fishing reels for barramundi and other northern fish species which are often found deep within the structure.
(:1f41f:) Are Low Profile or Round Profile Baitcaster Reels Best?
Take a look at the baitcasters for sale on our online fishing store and you will see that they come in both round and low-profile designs. Neither design is superior, but they each have their advantages. If you enjoy sports fishing, the ability to palm the reel that a low-profile design affords will be a bonus. On the other hand, if your main focus is on long-running fish, a model with a round profile that holds more line is going to be the best baitcasting reel for you.
(:1f41f:) What Does the Gear Ratio Mean?
You will see gear ratio figures in the features and specifications section of individual product pages for our reels, but what exactly do they mean? Well, a gear ratio of 4.6:1, for example, means that for every crank of the handle, the spool will revolve 4.6 times. Reels with a higher gear ratio are ideal for fishing with lures where fast retrieval is desirable.
