What Fishing Reels Are Best Suited to Drone Fishing?

Drone fishing is a unique method of angling. When you use a drone to fish, instead of casting or simply dropping the line, you control the drone so that you can drop the hook and bait where you want in the water. The reels you use for drone fishing are slightly different than the ones you'd use for traditional angling. Here, we'll answer, “What fishing reels are best suited to drone fishing?”

 

SPINNING REELS
Spinning reels are the most common of all reel varieties, and they also make for a good match with drones. This is due to their versatility. Spinning reels work effectively with regular luring fishing, as well as other styles like bottom fishing and float fishing, which target different depths in the water. Normally, you would cast your line with a spinning reel. However, while casting is simple, it's also not very precise. That's where a drone can come in handy. If you place the end of your line in a drone with a dropping mechanism, it can move your hook and bait exactly where you want them.

 

OVERHEAD REELS
Anglers use overhead reels when on a boat. You drop the line directly into the water from a high position instead of trying to hurl your hook far away from where you stand. Since you're already in deep water aboard a boat, casting isn't necessary. The advantage of overhead reels is that they can handle heavy catches, such as tuna and sharks, without breaking. Many people who fish with drones do so off boats, so having tough, long overhead reels can work well. The drones give overhead reels more reach since they can move the line around instead of limiting a person to dropping it straight below the tip of their fishing rod. 

These are the two fishing reels that are best suited to drone fishing. Each type has a characteristic that a drone can improve upon, which is why anglers prefer them when they're drone fishing.
