Rear drag fishing reels, also known as rear-drag spinning reels, are an excellent option for anglers who prefer a more traditional design. Unlike front drag reels, the drag system is located at the back of the reel, making it easier to adjust the drag settings while reeling in a fish. This placement also allows for a more even distribution of pressure across the spool, reducing the chances of line breakage. Rear drag reels are versatile and can be used to fish for a wide range of species, from small panfish to larger game fish like bass and pike. They are also effective for both freshwater and saltwater fishing. When choosing a rear drag reel, consider the number of ball bearings, the gear ratio and the line capacity. Many rear drag reels also come equipped with anti-reverse systems, which prevent the handle from turning backward and losing line tension.
