How To Choose Fishing Reel For Grouper
For many people, fishing is a good way to get out of the house. It is sometimes considered as an extreme sport, however, this doesn't stop thousands of fishermen worldwide to enjoy their time in the water. One type of fish that many fishing enthusiasts are after is grouper.
Grouper can be found in relatively shallow waters throughout the world. They prefer to live in the rocks and reefs of tropical areas, however, they can also be found near brackish water regions such as estuaries and mangrove swamps, where fresh and salt water mix.
Grouper are often easy to see because their coloring makes them blend into their surroundings. For this reason, the most popular type of lure for catching Grouper is a brightly colored one, such as those made from spoons, but there are also many other types that work well.
There are generally two types of fishing reels for grouper: trolling and spinning. A trolling reel consists of line on a spool which runs inside the body of the reel and is held there by some method (usually a mechanism that tightens the line when turned). Line is paid out through the bottom of the spool and is used to pull a lure or bait through the water.
On the other hand, a spinning reel features line on a free-spinning spool which can be pulled directly off (or put back on) by hand with no tools required. Line is held in place on the spool using a mechanism that clamps down on it, such as a bail or centrifugal force when the spool spins at high speed.
Because of its unique structure and design, a spinning reel can be used with either sinking or floating line, whereas with a trolling reel, you are required to use the same type of line with which it was purchased.
Most Grouper fishermen opt for a spinning reel because it is easier to cast and re-cast when using live bait or lures. However, most trolling reels come in large sizes, which can be difficult for some anglers to handle.
In order to determine the size of a reel needed for Grouper fishing, you first need to decide if you prefer live bait or lures. Live bait requires a larger spinning reel because it is heavier and attracts more attention from fish looking for an easy meal. Lures allow the user to use smaller reels because they are lighter, and some people find them easier to cast.
A good spinning reel usually has an upper hand when it comes to Grouper fishing because they can easily be used with both lures and live bait while trolling reels cannot. Also, trolling reels are best suited for larger fish such as tuna and marlin, whereas smaller Grouper require spinning reels for ease of use and casting.
A good rule of thumb is to choose the largest spinning reel you can handle since it will give you better control when fighting large fish with heavy weights. With this in mind, look for a reel that holds 50 pounds or more of test line (the amount varies depending on manufacturer) because Grouper can grow to be large, fast and strong.
In addition, avoid using a reel that does not have anti-reverse or brakes because you want to use as little effort as possible when reeling Grouper in. In most cases, the best spinning reels will come with an adjustable drag system which is designed to adjust the amount of resistance you feel when reeling in a fish.
As with any other purchase, some reels are of better quality than others, so do some research before buying to make sure you are getting the best value for your money. Some things to look for include corrosion protection, graphite body or rotor construction, durable ball bearing system and lightweight design.
To conclude, clean and simple designs such as those from Penn or Shimano tend to work better than complicated reels with unnecessary features. Also, some anglers prefer newer models such as those made by Daiwa because they require less maintenance and are more durable than older models.
Remember that the reel is only one half of the equation and you need good quality line to go with it. Most Grouper fishermen prefer Braided Spectra or Fluorocarbon because they are thin, strong and can be seen by fish from a distance, whereas monofilament line tends to be too thick for Grouper fishing applications.
In any case, you should purchase the best quality line you can afford because it will make fishing much more enjoyable. Good Luck!
