Pole Reel
You will find two sorts of carp reel that anglers use when they go fishing. One is a fixed spool one clutch reel and another is a baitrunner two clutch reel. Both carp reels have their supporters and critics, but they both in essence do a similar job.
Fixed Spool Reel
The fixed spool reel is normally setup with the clutch set just under the breaking strain of the line however it does come with potential problems. If a large carp was to take your bait and make a run for it then there will be a good chance of one of two things happening.
The first thing that would probably happen is that the run will be so fierce that it will break the line before you were in a position to get to the rod and release the clutch some more. the other thing that will probably happen if the line did not break is that the rod would be pulled from it’s rest and the next you know is your rod and reel will be sailing across the lake after the carp.
Really the only time that this type of carp reel is really any good is if you are sat right next to it and saw the initial indication of the bite and was ready for when the carp made it’s big run. You could leave the bail arm off instead of setting the clutch but try that during a windy day and you’ll wind up with all your line on the floor in a terrible mess.
Baitrunner Reel
This two clutch carp reel is the most commonly used one when fishing for carp nowadays. Your normal (first) clutch is set up to match the breaking strain of the fishing line. With this clutch engaged you cast you bait out and set your rod on a rod rest or pod. When you are happy with the position of your bait, you then engage the lighter (second) clutch called the baitrunner.
Similarly to the first clutch you would also be able to adjust the tension of the second clutch so if you’re fishing in breezy conditions or moving water you would increase the tension of the clutch, in still conditions you will have the clutch tension on a lighter setting. With your clutch set up correctly a fish could take the bait, bolt and would take line from your spool without it getting tangled or dragging your rod and reel into the water. To engage the second clutch is as easy as picking up your rod and turning the handle of your carp reel. The turn of the handle instantly engages the first clutch which is set up to match your fishing line weight.
Carp reels should really therefore be of the baitrunner type, and although a little dearer than the normal fixed spool carp reel, the added cost could mean the difference between landing that giant specimen or losing your rod and reel altogether.
Carp Fishing Rods and Carp Reels are just two of the many items that you will need if you are serious about catching these specimen fish. With all the carp fishing equipment out there it is a good idea to get some knowledge before parting with your money. If you would like to know more then visit www.carpfishingequipment.org
