What fish can you catch with an electric reel?
What is an electric reel used for?
An electric reel cranks for you on deep drops and heavy fish. You still fight the fish; the motor lifts the jig or the weight.
How is an electric reel different from similar gear?
Powered retrieve on a boat conventional layout. Not a toy spinning reel. Use it where depth would wreck your arms.
When should you use an electric reel?
Fish it for deep jigging and bottom work when the drop is hundreds of metres or the fish is too heavy to grind by hand.
What problems does an electric reel solve?
It gets a jig or bait back from depth without ending the session in the first hour.
