How to adjust the braking system of fishing spinning reels when in use

The braking system of the fishing spinner is one of the important adjustment devices that fishermen must master during fishing. Properly adjusting the brake system can help fishermen avoid spool tangling and breakage, and improve fishing efficiency and success rate.

Understand the principles of braking systems
First, anglers need to understand how the fishing spinner brake system works. The braking system mainly adjusts the pay-off speed and strength of the wire rod by increasing or reducing internal friction. Generally speaking, brake systems include two types: magnetic brakes and centrifugal brakes. Each has its own characteristics and is suitable for different fishing environments and needs.
Magnetic brake: Magnetic brake controls the pay-off speed of the wire rod by adjusting the distance between the magnet and the metal plate. The braking force is usually adjusted by rotating an adjustment knob on the brake system to increase or decrease the distance between the magnet and the metal plate.
Centrifugal brake: Centrifugal brake uses the principle of centrifugal force to generate friction when the wire rod rotates to control the pay-off speed. Adjusting centrifugal brakes usually requires adjusting the adjustment knob or dial button on the brake system to match the speed of the cable rod rotation.

Adjust the braking system according to the fishing environment
In different fishing environments, the adjustment methods of the braking system will also be different. The following are brake system adjustment tips for different fishing environments:
Lake and River Fishing: In calmer waters such as lakes and rivers, greater braking force is usually required to control the payout speed of the line rod to avoid spool entanglement. Therefore, anglers can adjust the braking system to a higher level to ensure stable line release of the rod.
Ocean fishing: In ocean fishing, greater casting distance and flexibility are usually required, so the adjustment of the brake system is relatively more flexible. Fishermen can appropriately adjust the level of the braking system according to the characteristics of the marine environment and target fish species to obtain the best fishing results.

Adjust the braking system according to the target fish species
In addition to the fishing environment, fishermen should also adjust the braking system according to the characteristics and habits of the target fish species. The following are brake system adjustment tips for different target fish species:
Large fish: When fishing for large fish, fishermen usually need greater braking force to control the line release speed of the line rod to cope with the strong pull of the big fish. Therefore, the adjustment of the braking system should be more stringent and stable to ensure that the line rod will not cause spool winding or breakage due to the pulling force of the fish.
Small fish: In contrast, when fishing for small fish, fishermen can appropriately reduce the braking force to obtain a more flexible line release effect. However, the brake system also needs to be adjusted to the specific situation to ensure that the line rod can remain stable and smooth during fishing.
