For many anglers offshore fishing is the pinnacle of all fishing styles. It brings us back to our roots when wooden boats went out for months on end in search of what many thought were sea monsters. In today’s world offshore fishing has become much less frightening however it’s still a battle between monster fish in water that can be unpredictable. Fishing gear has changed tremendously since those days when we were sailing in wooden boats. There are three types of fishing reels used for offshore fishing: 1. the large offshore Spinning Reels 2. the offshore Open-face or Casting Reels and 3. Trolling Reels.
The difference between a conventional offshore baitcast reel and offshore dual-speed trolling reel is sometimes hard to spot. That’s because both are large offshore casting type reels. Unlike a conventional single-speed offshore reel, with a dual-speed trolling reel the angler can easily switch from fighting large, reel-smoking giants like tuna and marlin to power-cranking up big fish from the bottom with the switch of a lever. Dual speed reel repair is a much more complex process that takes many hours working with these reels to know how to maintain them properly. And in most cases it takes much more time to maintain them as well.
You’ve probably heard of the terms ‘backlash’ or ‘birds nest’. This occurs with a baitcast or ‘casting’ reel when the line from the spool comes out too fast and begins creating a web of tangled line on the spool. This is many times very frustrating and depending upon the initial error can be difficult to untangle. Modern casting reels try to stop this from occurring by using braking systems that are manual and even controlled chip. The dreaded backlash is big reason many people prefer a spinning reel to a casting reel.
So why would you want a casting reel? Well, they have the ability to be very precise when casting off reefs, around logs or through trees. You can control the cast and be much more accurate with a casting reel. The learning curve is higher on a casting reel compared to a spinning reel but in many cases the practice will pay off.
Casting reels come in both left and right-handed models and the handle cannot be changed from one side to the other like with a spinning reel. You need to know what model you want prior to purchasing. My suggestion is that if you’re right handed you’ll want a right-handed fishing reel. That is the way I was taught and how many anglers today prefer. Some anglers don’t like that you need to switch hands when casting however I use two hands and leave my right hand on the handle. This way I’m prepared when my lure hits the water. A good cast to a bass or redfish will immediately produce a strike so you must be prepared. The longer it takes to switch your hand around the more potential you have for missing the strike.
Casting reels are also more sensitive to water, moisture, salt, etc. Dual speed reel repair and maintenance services like ours are highly recommended. Without these services your expensive reel can become fouled up causing more frequent backlashes and your casting performance will decrease.
Round: holds more line, used for heavier line, used to toss larger baits, used for long runs during the fight.
Species: steelhead, salmon, muskie and pike
Low-Profile: most popular, used for palming, easier for wrist-action, more ergonomic.
Species: Inshore speckled trout, redfish, bass, crappie
All reels have a specific gear ratio that describes the speed at which the line will be reeled in per revolution of the handle. Common ratios include 5.4:1, 6.4:1, and 7.1:1. The first set of numbers lists how many revolutions the spool makes for each turn of the reel handle. For example, with a 6.4:1 reel the spool will revolve 6.4 times with one crank of the handle. The higher the number, the more line that can be retrieved within the same amount of work. Many people also research how much physical line is retrieved per revolution. Beginners will stick with a common 6.4:1 while more advanced anglers will go with a slower or faster ratio depending upon the conditions they are fishing.
Baitcast braking systems adjust and slow down the rotation of the spool during the cast. Without a braking system you would have a backlash with every cast.
The spool tension knob is your first line of offense for adjusting spool speed. It is the large knob found on the reel handle side. Tighten this knob enough, so that when you disengage the reel, your lure will slowly fall to the ground. Once it makes contact, the spool should stop revolving almost immediately. The heavier the lure, the tighter the tension should be.
Centrifugal brakes are friction based, and utilize pins inside the side plate of the reel to make adjustments. To engage the brakes, push the pins outward. For a six-pin system, always adjust pins that are across from each other. Both should be either on or off.
Magnetic brakes work on a more complicated principle, but rely on the spool and magnets to decrease the spool revolution rate. They are also adjustable by the angler.
Computer controlled braking systems use a small waterproof computer chip. The chip measures the speed of the line when casting and will increase or decrease the brake to prevent a backlash. I personally love these reels however they will backlash on occasion and are more expensive than some traditional baitcast reels. Fishing reel repair services can be costly especially if your chip malfunctions.
We hope that this was helpful and that you’ll choose us for your dual speed reel repair and maintenance services.
