There are 3 types of reels for open water fishing, a spinning reel, a spincast reel, and a baitcast reel. The most common in a spinning reel. My favorite type of reel is the baitcast. These usually run up on the pricing but are defiantly worth it in my opinion. Using a baitcast reel gives you the most control on precisely casting your bait or lure. A spincast reel is the cheapest type of reel. Usually these types of reels are used for beginners simply because they are cheap and easy to throw. If you are looking into open water fishing and want a good reel definitely go for the baitcast reels.
