How does a baitcast reel work?
The weight of the bait or lure pulls on the line causing the spool to turn thus releasing more line. The fisherman uses his thumb or a thumb bar to regulate the flow of line. The heavier the lure, the more distance the line will travel when cast. Baitcast reels set on top of the fishing rod.
Many people believe learning to baitcast is difficult but once you develop your casting technique, you may never use any other type reel. You'll be able to lay line exactly where the fish are biting, under docks and piers, under trees and brush. It's hard to get this accuracy with other styles of reels. Proper adjustment of the drag and good coordination skills is very important.
