Trout casting reel

Casting reels are increasingly being used for trout fishing. Well-known to predator anglers, casting began to be used more widely for trout fishing around ten years ago.

Among trout reels, the use of the casting reel for trout is sometimes perceived as a fad.

Also known as 'Baitfiness', the technique originated in Japan for black bass fishing, where it is sometimes necessary to fish with small creatures while maintaining a high reserve of power. The benefits of this technique are well established.

Their characteristics

Casting reels for trout are considered "Baitfiness" reels. They have the particularity of being very light reels offering the possibility of casting lures from as little as 2g.

Never weighing more than 200g, their components are chosen according to their weight. Models with honeycomb spools are available for maximum strength while keeping the weight down.

The quality of the bearings is one of the major assets of this type of reel. They are necessary for good casting and to avoid wigging.

These reels are real gems with a host of innovations.

The advantages of casting reel for trout

As with other species, the casting reel has a number of advantages.

It provides greater casting accuracy, which is essential for trout fishing with lures. These fish are very shy and difficult to track, to say the least, so you need to be technically adept to reach them.

With casting reels, you can more easily place your lure on the surface of the water and make low casts by passing under branches.

The fact that it's so easy to hold means you'll be fishing faster than with a spinning reel. You'll cast 2.6 times more in 1 hour of fishing than with a spinning outfit. What's more, the lure makes direct contact with the water, giving you fast, more precise action with swimming fish.
