popular. Easy to use and virtually backlash free, these reels come in all price ranges.
Prices vary, determined generally by the number of ball bearings contained in the reel.
Choose a spinning reel according to what kind of fishing you plan to do.
Deep Jigging
Somewhere along the way one of the most versatile fishing lures ever devised received the name "jig". Probably either because the molds they are made from or the mechanism used to hold them while they are being tied, are called jigs.

Pier Fishing
But there are those shore bound souls who have chosen another lot in life. They choose not to be left out of the fishing scene, and as such they have developed a style and following all their own. These are the pier fishermen and women. Some are affectionately referred to as "Pier Rats." They came in all sizes, all ages, and both sexes. They come with a variety of tackle, some expensive, some worn and taped together. But come they do, with a very special camaraderie.
