Bait Casting Reels

Baitcasting Reels date back to the mid-1600s, but became more popular in the 1870s. They are mounted above the rod, therefore also know as an overhead reel, and have a bearing supported revolving spool. Most modern day Baitcasting reels are constructed of aluminum, stainless steel, or synthetic composite materials, which are not only lightweight, but extremely durable. Many of the manufacturers in today's market have put an anti-reverse system on the reel which will prevent your handle and spool from back spinning when you are casting. To view products by manufacturers visit: Daiwa Baitcasting Reels, Shimano Baitcasting Reels, Penn Bait Casting Reels, Okuma Bait Casting Reels, St. Croix Baitcasting Reels, and Van Staal Baitcasting Reels.
