Fishing Rod Storage
Multiple or fixed spool reel?
Looking to get a beachcaster whilst doon in s.shields, I’m nae sure what to get in regards to the rod and reel, a multiple or fixed spool? I’m not sure of the advantages of having either. My old rod is a fixed spool, so I have larger rings on the underside of the rod instead of more and smaller rings.
Is there any benefit or should I just happily carry on with a FS setup?
Just gunna be fishing off piers and beaches, looking to get a rod between 12-16ft, 8 oz load.
Oh yeah, is it worth going for a telescopic rod for ease of storage and transport (I live in halls of accomodation, so I don’t have a garage!!)
I think (in American terms) you’re asking about the difference between a conventional (“multiplier”) reel and a spinning (fixed spool”) reel. Since the two reels operate differently, personal preference is going to come into the decision.
Spinners are easier to cast, while with conventionals you have to slow the spool with your thumb to prevent backlashes, however, that gives you better control over your casts. Personally, I like conventional reels, especially if I’m casting heavy weights (like 8 ounces), however I think most surf fishermen prefer spinning reels, and as that’s what you’re used to, I’d stick with that.
I don’t think telescoping rods (where the parts slide inside each other for transportation) are especially strong; I’d suggest a 2 or 3 piece rod (where the pieces come apart) instead. (One piece rods are best, but a 12-footer is too much unless you live right on the beach.)
Hope this helps.
