Which reel to choose for bait finesse?

Rod balance

Choose a reel suited to your rod — that is, a reel that will balance the rod, but also allow you to cast the lures intended for the rod's power rating.

Bearings

For a casting reel, the crucial point is the spool's rotation capacity. The smoother the rotation and the lower the rotational resistance, the further you will be able to cast and the lighter the lure weights you can use. It is therefore important to look carefully at the number and quality of bearings in the reel.

Gear ratio

Another important point is the gear ratio. A standard ratio gives 75–80 cm of line retrieved per handle turn. You should therefore choose your reel's gear ratio based on the fishing techniques you wish to use. 

If you have any questions about choosing a rod, the rigs suited to your fishing area or the type of line (braid, mono, fluorocarbon) to put on your reel, don't hesitate to contact us via our website, by phone or by visiting us in person at our Ardent Pêche shop.
