Fishing reel
A
fishing reel is a device used in recreational and sport
fishing for the deployment and retrieval of
fishing line using a spool mounted on an
axle. They are most often used in conjuction with a
fishing rod, though some specialised reels are mounted directly on to boats.
Reels come in a variety of shapes and sizes, but there are now three basic configurations of reel in common use - overhead, underhand, and threadline (eggbeater).
