Until next time--watch your line and watch yourself!

This is one of the nerdy things you MAY need to know. It can come handy if you go to buy fishing equipment!

Your reel may look something like this...
We're going to be talking about reels but you can get all that stuff about brands, spinning vs. casting, and the like out of your head. We're going to get REAL (or REEL) basic and talk about some of those numbers that are driving you crazy. You know--what's a 3.2 reel as opposed to a 7-1?

...or like this one
To make a long story short, those numbers tell you how many times the spool (where the line actually is) turns when you crank the handle. The spool of that 7-1 reel turns 7 times while the spool of a 3.2-1 reel turns a little over three times. (I hope that makes sense! If it doesn't, gimme a shout!)
