Glossary
Spool capacity
The amount of line that can fit on the main spool of a reel with normal winding. It is indicated as a ratio of two numbers, the first of which corresponds to the length of the reeled line in metres, and the second to the thickness in millimetres: for example, the numbers 200 / 0.45 indicate that up to 200 m of fishing line with a thickness of 0.45 mm can fit on the reel.
For different types of fishing, there are recommendations on the optimal value of this parameter; they can be found in special sources. Here we note that the capacity of the spool is indicated exclusively for a smooth fishing line; when using a braided cord, the actual performance may differ markedly.

Winding the line per turn
This parameter determines how much line is wound/unwound in one full turn of the handle. The greater the value of the line winding per revolution, the less force must be applied when pulling the catch, at the same time, the winding speed also increases. An average ordinary reel winds around 50 cm of fishing line in one turn of the handle.
Pulling force
Pulling force determines the maximum weight that the reel can regularly pull on itself, without negative consequences in the future. So, the pulling force of the average coil is at the level of 2-3 kg. Such a model can be entrusted with pulling ashore, with the help of one reel, most of the freshwater fish, from crucian and carp to bream, perch and carp. If you plan to catch catfish, pike or sea fish, then it is better to use a reel with high traction.
Also note that experienced fishermen usually pull the catch ashore not at the expense of the reel, but with the rod itself, using the “fighting” technique. Working with a rod allows you to almost significantly unload the reel.
Salt water protection
Salt water resistant reels are specially designed for saltwater and ocean fishing. Sea water is extremely aggressive for ordinary coils. Depending on the specific model, protection against salt water can be realized either through a sealed housing or through the use of materials resistant to oxidation and chemical corrosion in the design of the coil.
Weight
The total weight of the reel (only the device itself, without fishing line). This parameter is important, first of all, for those who select equipment of the ultralight class — in such gear, the struggle is, as they say, for every extra gram. In other cases, you can not pay special attention to weight.
