Hello, I had some old reels around the home and rods as well and started going fishing only to notice that no matter how hard I casted I could only get the lure out a good 20 feet, my friend had an old Shimano on his rod and he could cast out 60-80 feet.
I am trying to get a new reel not only to reel better but also because mine is broken it seems, or it does not have a high ability to reel, even on tiny fish I can feel the reel letting the line slip out.
now I am by no means a pro fisher, I just do it on weekdays I have off twice a week, I do regular bait and lure casting and reeling going after trout for the most par no fly fishing etc. can anyone recommend a reel in the low to middle of the line spectrum something under $50.
also do these reels come with the line on them already? if not can anyone link me to or give me advice on how to line the reels because I am sure that impacts the casting distance and tendencies of the line tangling.
Thanks a million!
