Fishing reels is the most important part of your tackle armory. Having the right fishing reel for the job can make or break your session as it forms the backbone of your set-up, whatever you’re fishing for.
They have to retrieve those precious rigs or heavy spods, undertake great battles with large fish pushing and pulling on the line and clutches.
They have to put us with mud, grit and rain and still work effortlessly every time we spin them. Well starbaits reels will do of that and more.
Great design, precision builds, cute line lay and sexy looks are all in a starbaits reel box. Using marine quality materials and the hardest and finest ball bearings these reel ranges excel at the job they do.
Let’s study what parts are made up of fishing reels:
1.Fishing reel body
The main body refers to the main body of the fishing reel except the reel spool and handle. It is usually made of composite materials, nylon glass fiber materials, aluminum alloy materials, zinc alloy materials, titanium alloy and magnesium alloy materials. Now the general fishing reel is made of titanium alloy.
Using composite materials and nylon glass fiber made of the main body, high strength, good stability, strong impact resistance, but lack of rigidity. The main body of fishing reel made of magnesium titanium alloy is lighter than that of composite materials and nylon glass fiber materials in terms of weight. Although aluminum alloy material is light, but the proportion is still above 2.0, and no corrosion resistance, the main proportion of the use of magnesium alloy or titanium alloy material is only 1.6~1.8, the weight is reduced a lot, and the rigidity and service life has been greatly improved.
2. Handle
The handle is the grip used to swing the arm on the fishing reel. Its main function through the rotation of the angler, so that the fishing reel to get power, draw in or release the fishing line. Consider the different hand habits, the general handle can be left and right exchange. People who are used to using the left hand can switch the handle to the left hand position as long as the knob is removed and vice versa.
3. Reverse button
Reverse button, also known as the reverse check switch, the main function is to control the positive and negative rotation of the fishing reel. When the reverse button is in the reverse position, turn the handle, the fishing reel can only turn positive, can not reverse, the fishing reel only has the function of drawing in line. When the reverse button is relaxed, the fishing reel can be turned positive and negative, and the line can be drawn in or released.
The reverse check switch is very critical when fighting with fish, especially when the impact force of the big fish exceeds the bearing capacity of the rod and hook line. Even if the reverse check switch is set in the reverse position, the fishing reel can automatically release line, which can play a good role in protecting the rod and hook line.
4. Main gear
The main gear, also known as plane gear and big gear, is connected with the handle to drive, and the line is rewound in the fixed but telescopic winding spool.
5. Ball bearing
Ball bearing, is the main part of the fishing reel transmission, located in the main shaft handle and the main gear rod. It make the main line can be more evenly wound in the winding groove. It has the function of overcoming transmission resistance. Under the condition that the line is blocked, the fishing reel rotates smoothly to overcome the noise of mechanical friction during transmission.
6. Pick up or bail
Pick up or bail, located at the top of the reel spool, its main function is to gather the cast line in the position of the casting nut. Reduces friction on the line and reduces drag when retracting.
7. Reel foot
Reel foot, also known as reel clamp, is located at the bottom of the main body of the fishing reel, the main function is to fix the fishing reel on the reel seat of the casting rod through it.
8. Drag adjustment knob
Drag adjustment knob, referred to as adjustment button, is a safety device. When the force of the fish is too much, beyond the original predetermined force, the fishing reel will automatically reverse the release of line, so that the rod hook line is not damaged. The release value can be set by tightening or relaxing method to improve the success rate of fishing.
The drag adjustment device is composed of adjusting button, one-way bearing, tile gasket, wool felt, hexagonal buckle and other components. It is an adjustable device that controls the number of fishing line in the slide groove when the reverse device is started. Even if the reverse device is closed and the fisherman holds the handle of the fishing reel still, the drag adjustment device can be released to dissolve the force acting on the rod hook line. It can make the big fish struggling to pull out the fishing line without breaking it, so that the rod, hook and line can obtain the maximum bearing capacity, effectively protect the fishing group and consume the physical strength of the fish. When the strength of the fish is less than the set force release value, the drag adjustment device of the fishing reel will not go out, and the fishing reel can work normally. When the struggling force of the fish is greater than the set discharge value, the discharge device can relieve the bearing capacity of the rod hook line. The quality of the drag adjustment device is directly related to the success of fishing.
9. Speed ratio
The rotational speed ratio is called the rotational speed ratio of the fishing reel, which is proportional to the rotation degree of the handle of the fishing reel and the amount of the fishing line recovered. This rewinding ratio is calculated by the number of winding coils of the fishing line in the winding spool when the handle of the fishing reel completes a rotation (360 degrees). For example, if the speed ratio is 5.5 specifications of the fishing reel, when the handle rotates once, it will recover five and a half turns of the fishing line.
Take the diameter of the spool is 5 cm as an example, when the handle rotates one circle, the fishing line can be received 0.86 meters. The common specification is 4.5; 1.3; 14:1.5, 2:1, 5.5: 1 and a variety of specifications of speed ratio. Different fishing line diameter, their speed of line is not the same. The high speed ratio reel with large diameter spool is faster than the low speed ratio reel. When retrieving line the large diameter spool is faster than the small diameter spool reel. There are many types of fishing reel, many specifications, the diameter of spool is also not the same. They also have different speed ratios. The speed ratio of the fishing reel is usually indicated on the reel. The size of the speed ratio is not completely visible in the fishing grounds with good natural conditions, but it can show its extraordinary effect in the fishing grounds with poor natural conditions or when fishing for big fish.
10. Working principle of fishing reel
Working principle of fishing reel: The working principle of fishing reel, the handle rotates the plane gear (big gear) to do longitudinal rotation and drive the transverse gear, so that the winding groove to carry out regular back and forth contraction. The line is controlled by the line stop so that the retrieved line is evenly and neatly arranged in the reel spool. This working principle is the principle of crankshaft transmission.
To sum up, we understand the various components of the fishing reel, which can be better used in our fishing process.
