When purchasing reels, under the picture there is something under the picture that says something like 4/100 mono, 3/75 braid, or something similar. The heavier the drag on the reel, the more those pips mean and the harder it will be for a fish to pull your line out faster than you reel it in. When you're fishing you generally won't have your drag set higher than 3 or 4 pips. The max Drag is basically how much force the reel can take before letting out more line. A lower gear ratio - 5.0:1 is better for slower lures like crankbaits, while a higher one 7.0:1 is better for faster lures swim baits, but this isn't as important. Gear-ratio is a ratio between how fast you reel and how fast the reel brings in line and it alters how the lure is presented to the fish. If you need a slower lure for something like trout, then a lower recovery is better. If you need a fast lure for something like bass, a higher recovery is better. Recovery is how much line is brought in per revolution of the handle on the reel and is somewhat related to the gear-ratio. Reels will also have a drag weight limit, a gear ratio, and a recovery. 008 diameter mono line, at least that's the general idea. 008 diameter braid line will be stronger and thicker than a. Reels accept a certain diameter of line that corresponds to the weight. Spin reels can be used on Spin Rods, Telescopic Rods, and Match Rods.

Casting Reels can only be used on Casting Rods. That is displayed under the picture in the in game shop as well.Ĭertain reels go with certain rods. The rods that allow this only accept a certain lure weight. Some rods can also have a lure attached to them, meaning a spin-bait, jig-head and plastic lure, etc. You can use a lighter or heavier line, but you are going to get less performance out of your rod. They generally have it listed under the picture in the in-game shop listed as line weight.
