Casting Fishing Reel
Casting Fishing Reel
What type of reel to use when fishing Kings in the Kenai river?
I am fishing the Kenai river this summer (end of June), just wondering what reel would be best suited to do this. I plan on wading in the river, no boat fishing (maybe a little bank fishing on some deep spots). I am getting an ugly stick 8.5′ rod, but for a reel I am still up in the air. I have a Shimano Torium 20, would that work for this type of fishing? Also, how does this reel cast, the fishing guy at Dicks Sporting Goods said it casts really well, but you never know with those guys. Thanks
Use an abu garcia ambassadeur reel with a big spool.

Understanding Different Types of Fishing Reels
Before you head to the store with your money and start shopping for fishing reels, you need to think long and hard about what you need. If you’re familiar with what’s available, you already know that the selection is pretty wide and can be hard to navigate. That’s why your best course of action is to begin at home with some research and go into the store ready already knowing what type of fishing reels will work best for your specific needs.
Let’s look at those different types of fishing reels.
Fishing Reels: Casting
Casting fishing reels are used for exactly what the name suggests. If you’re doing mostly inshore fishing and you need to get that bait or lure into the water, you’re going to probably focus on these types of reels. They actually have a fairly long history in fishing and most were developed from some early, popular models that developed in the 19th century.
Within casting reels, you’ll also find level winding and non-level winding varieties. The one you choose depends mostly on what feels right for you so test out a few different models of each before settling on your preference.
Fishing Reels: Spinning
Another popular type of fishing reels is the spinning ones. These reels first hit the United States when they were introduced hear during the mid 20th century from Europe. After that, their popularity among fishers exploded and they continue to be a popular choice for inshore fishing. One major advantage is cost. You’ll spend a lot less on these types of fishing feels than either of the ones listed below. Keep in mind that these types of fishing reels come in two types as well: open face and closed face. Again, you’ll want to do some hands-on testing at your favorite fishing ground to see which variation works best for you.
Fishing Reels: Fly
If you’re planning on doing any fly fishing, then you’ll want to choose these types of fishing reels for your needs. Nothing else will work quite as well for most fishers. These reels tend to be narrower even when they have larger spool diameters. Most also don’t have gearing. As fly fishing has become more popular, the price of these reels has begun to increase so keep that in mind when you’re beginning to search for the right fishing reels for your needs.
Fishing Reels: Trolling
These are the best reels to use if you’re interested in doing some deep water or bottom fishing, such as for catfish and similar species of fish. Although in many ways they look like fly fishing reels, you’ll probably notice that they are larger and have wider diameters. Prices on these types of fishing reels, which are primarily designed for offshore fishing, can be a bit steep. However, if you’re serious about catching certain fish then you’re absolutely going to need to make the investment.
Remember as you’re searching for fishing reels your best choice is to browse online at shops like Sea Isle Tackle.
