Type of reel for downrigging
#5
[black][size 3]While looking at reels, check out the reels used for bass casting. They are much lighter/smaller, and have plenty of line capacity. (300 yards, not feet, of 30 lb test line is not necessary). IMHO, if you fish in Utah, and use anything over 10 lb test, you must be casting to 747's.[/size][/black]

[size 3]The smaller size of the bass casting reel makes them easier to handle, and mount well on a rod.[/size]

[size 3]Before you buy, make sure of the hand that you want to reel with. It may sound silly, but that will make your fishing more enjoyable. If you wind your spinning reel with your left hand, buy a left hand casting reel. It's something that no one thinks about, but believe me, I speak from experience.[/size]
