Baitcast reels are frequently preferred by experienced saltwater fisherman. Baitcasting is an excellent means of catching everything from little inshore fish to giant offshore game fish. Baitcasters have more line capacity than heavyweight saltwater fishing lines. This makes them better choices for catching large fish or multiple smaller fish. Saltwater fishing lines and reels will not function properly if they are exposed to moisture or saltwater for any length of time. Therefore, before using baitcasting equipment in saltwater, make sure that you rinse it thoroughly with fresh water to remove any residue of landmines or pesticides. Also, avoid exposing the reel to direct sunlight because this can cause damage to the rubber components on some models. Casting nets are essential for any angler who hopes to catch large quantities of fish. However, even experienced fishermen find casting nets difficult because of the heavy load they must carry. For this reason, most fishermen prefer to use baitcasting reels when fishing with a net because they are easier to handle. Some baitcasting reels have built-in drag systems which allow you to control the speed at which you reel in your catch. These drags can be activated by buttons on the side of the reel or via a lever system. Many baitcasters come with fixed-spool reels as standard equipment.
