Whenever shopping for a spinning reel you want the style of the reel to match the weight of the rod, and you want the style to match the type and size of fish that your fishing for. For example, if you're fishing for trout in small rivers and streams, you want to use an ultra light spinning reel and rod. Light action would be the heaviest in trout fishing situations such as these. Don't put an ultra-light reel on a heavy rod with a heavier line than recommended. Taking the time to match your fishing reel with the proper rod will make for a smoother working combination. Also look carefully at what line the manufacturer recommends for you to use on your spinning reel. Improper matching of line with reel can lead to many casts that get tangled and snarled.

A spinning reel has an open spool with a wire loop called a bail that helps to guide the fishing line back onto the spool with tangles. When shopping for a spinning reel keep in mind the number of bearings in the crank. The more bearings the more smooth a reel will retrieve the line. At least six bearings in your reel will have you cranking quickly with hardly any play at all.
