Spinning Reel Master Guide: Operation & Pro Techniques
Ⅰ. Core Setup Standards
1. Line Spooling
- Leave 0.3mm gap below spool rim to prevent tangling
- Use braided line (e.g., 10-20lb test) for saltwater fishing
2. Drag System Calibration
- Adjust until line releases at 1.5-1.8kg force (test with spring scale)
Ⅱ. Casting Techniques
Step | Action | Pro Tip |
Preparation | Release 30cm line, press with index finger | Keep bail arm open |
Backswing | Rotate torso, rod tip at 45° behind | Use wrist snap for power |
Release | Flick wrist forward, release finger | Follow through toward target |
Ⅲ. Retrieval & Control
1. Anti-Backlash Protocol
- Apply thumb pressure on spool edge during windy casts
- Slow spool rotation before lure splashdown
2. Line Management
- Re-engage bail arm manually to avoid loose coils
- Wet line with sponge every 20 retrieves (reduces friction)
