Baitmaster Reels For Saltwater Fishing.... A Coming Trend
Story By Jeff Burnett
Baitcaster reels are commonly used in lakes and other freshwater locations. However, in recent years, they’ve begun to appear more frequently in saltwater fishing areas, especially for inshore fishing. The scarcity of baitcasters in saltwater fishing has been more of a traditional preference than a practical issue. However, their popularity has started to grow, particularly among inshore fishermen. Finding the right saltwater baitcaster reel can be challenging. One reason is that most coastal tackle shops don’t stock baitcaster reels or have substantial knowledge about them. Additionally, due to the limited use of baitcasters in the past, only a few saltwater anglers possess the expertise to help others learn how to use them properly. However, the internet has significantly contributed to the increased use of baitcaster reels in saltwater environments. First, the rise of online shopping exposed baitcaster reels to saltwater anglers as a viable option. Second, the growing popularity of YouTube has provided a wealth of instructional videos on the topic. In the past, learning to effectively use a baitcaster was often taught by a friend or relative. Today, YouTube offers a wide range of tutorials, which, while not as personal as learning from your dad at the local pond, can still be very effective.
