Baitcasting Reels

A baitcasting reel is a low profile reel with a spool centred
between two side plates, and a built-in star drag system.

They feature a thumb button to activate the free spool mechanism prior to a cast.

The free rotating spool provides less friction than fixed spool reels
thereby offering greater casting distance and accuracy.

Control of the cast is also an advantage of this reel since the spool
first can be slowed and then stopped when the bait hits the water.
