round reel casting

[hunteronwheels]

ok so last year i started using low profile casting reels

now i am looking for a lefty 5 to 1 reel

hard to find

now my question is

is casting a round reel the same as a low profile

or will i need to spend a month in the backyard learning to cast it ( with a pair of scissors lol )

I use the Abu Garcia C3 with the left hand reel and never had a problem....set your tension with every bait you put on and cast away...the only issue I have is casting into the wind and just adjust less spool tension for that....great reel though!

I had round and low profile reels in the boat, never noticed a difference.

no difference what so ever...in fact casting my big C3 is way easier than casting my low pro curado.

exactly, now if you are talking about the old Langley's and Inglis/Shakespeare's , round endplate, direct drive , knuckle dusters I learned on you may want to bring the scissors

I prefer my round reels to my low profile ones,I have a shimano Calcutta TE200DC that not one of my low profiles can touch ease and distance wise.

Only difference is ergonomics.

cool

thanks for the info

[musky_hunter]

love them round reels...

[Smokercrafty]

I think you get the idea. No difference at all. Just more of a challenge tossing lighter baits against the wind. (With either style)

I enjoy my Cardiff over my low pro though.
