Question: What Bait Casting Fishing reel to use (Round or Low Profile) for Inshore Pier Fishing.?
Hi,
I'm planing to buy a new Bait-casting reel but I'm not sure what to buy Round or Low Profile. I'm planing to use this for Inshore Pier fresh water fishing or maybe on a Fishing Boat for Salmon Fishing too. I want something I can put my rod in a rod holder that is attached to the Piers or boat railings. I saw couple of Anglers in our area 'Pier' and they are using Rounded ones. If I'm going to get a Rounded ones can use this also for offshore fishing too? I just want to make my money's worth by buying just one good reel that can do both. What reel would recommend base on your choice above whether Round or Low Profile if you have a budget of $200. I heard a lot of good things for Low Profile reels but I'm not sure if it can handle Big Salmons.
Thanks
galit_sa_chatAnswer: First, yes low profile reels can handle salmon just fine. It just matters if you have a better quality baitcaster. Lower end ones are going to flex under the tension from the pressure of the fish. Also, lower end reels tend to have lower quality drags that aren't going to hold up.
For pier fishing, it's almost always going to be more beneficial to have a round baitcaster as opposed to a low profile. The reason for this is because rounds tend to have more line capacity and bait clickers. Bait clickers (line alarms) are nice to have when pier fishing because it will let you focus attention on other things while fishing as opposed to having to literally constantly watch your rod. I've know people who have lost rods over the side of a pier because they got a take down from a large fish. It's not pretty...it downright sucks! For Salmon Fishing from a boat, a round is generally preferred as well. The thing with boat fishing for salmon, especially in the ocean, is going to be the necessity for line capacity. In a river, there's not too far a salmon can run, but oceans are a little different.
The Abu Garcia Ambassadeur series are good all around reels at a very affordable price. Most of their reels in the 5000 and 6000 series have bait clickers and they will hold enough line for most applications..
If you're looking for a low profile reel in the sub $200 range, then I would take a look at the Shimano Curado 300. They are a higher capacity low profile reel that has enough performance qualities that will handle just about whatever you can toss at it. They retailed for 249, but are on sale for 199 at most places. I wouldn't recommend getting the Curado E (the newly released green curado). They aren't proven and are rumored to not be as good as the curado D (grey in color), Other than that, there's the Abu Garcia Revo INSHORE, a higher capacity higher end reel. It has good reviews.
Good luck....
