Choosing what size spinning reel to buy in West Palm Beach largely depends on the species of fish you desire to catch. Determining what sized line you will be fishing with will help tell you what sized reel is right for you. For Offshore fishing, an 8000-1000 sized spinning reel will get the job done for jigging and casting to pelagic species like mahi, blackfin tuna, wahoo and kingfish. If you’re into light tackle, a 4000-5000 sized spinning reel is great for pitching to mahi on the weedlines. If you are bottom fishing, an 8000 sized spinning reel will be a perfect match for you. For some of the smaller inshore species like pompano, Spanish mackerel and snapper, a light 3000 sized spinning reel works best. When chasing after the snook and tarpon in West Palm Beach, you will need to begin beefing up your tackle.
