Conventional Reels are very similar to Baitcasting Reels; the major difference is that conventional reels are generally not designed for casting. They are used mainly for bottom fishing and trolling. These reels are designed to be able to handle big game fish such as tuna, marlin, sailfish, and sharks. Smaller sized models will easily handle smaller bottom fish such as flounder, blackfish, grouper and snapper. Conventional reels are built for line capacity and cranking power.
