Baitrunner and Big Pit Reels
Baitrunner— and Big Pit reels are two types of fishing reels that areprimarily used for carp fishing and fishing for large fish. They have different functions, but both are popular among carp anglers.
Baitrunner Reel
A Baitrunner reel has a separate release system that allows the fish to take line without feeling the usual drag resistance.
-
How it works: You activate the Baitrunner function when the rod is on the alarm. The fish can then swim away and pull out line with minimal resistance.
-
When the fish bites: You reel in or flip the switch to engage the standard drag.
-
Advantages: You don’t need to keep the bail open, and this reduces the risk of the rod being pulled into the water.
-
Disadvantages: Often a bit heavier and more complicated than a standard reel.
Bestsuited for: Traditional carp fishing, bottom fishing , and fishing where the rod is mounted on a bank stick or rod pod while you wait for a bite.
Big Pit Reel
A Big Pit reel is a larger reel with abig spool and high line capacity, often designed for casting really far.
-
How it works: The large spool helps the line leave the reel with less resistance when casting .
-
Long-distance casting: Excellent when you need to reach spots far out on the lake.
-
Line capacity: Holds a lot of line, which is great for fishing on large bodies of water.
-
Pros: Good casting distance, large line capacity, and often a sturdy construction.
-
Disadvantages: Can be heavy and bulky, especially for short casts and smaller bodies of water.
Bestsuited for: Long-distance carp fishing, large lakes, and fishing where the fish are far from shore.
