big pit reels

[allanaj]

i was thinkin of buying one ,for the intention of hopefully adding a few yards to a cast,anybody usin them?

[paul mason]

Which one????? there are loads of them on the market, but in general that type of reel would be better for distance casting because of the shape of the spool.

[roger de dodger]

big pit with coned spool supposed to be the best for distance they will add some distance as their is less friction as the line leaves the spool how much extra ? hard to say reeley the extra yards would be gained with better casting style a trip to slaughter hill with the casting lads could be alot cheaper than a new reel if your doing something wrong and you remedy it you could add 50 or 60 yards to your cast in a few hours of help from the lads,then again a nice new reel would look good on your rod too
