What reel is best for a beginner fisherman.
I can't decide between getting a spinner reel or a bait caster. I have been fishing for about a year with spinner reels that are my grandfather's and I would like to get my own rod and reel so I am asking the fishers of the world for advice.

Spinning reel, I've been fishing for 25 years + and still use spinning reels as my go to.
I have a range of sizes and brands. Make sure your reel suits your rod. Depending on where and what you're fishing for, a 6'6" spinning Rod with a 2500 reel will suit 99%

Another spinning reel recommendation here. Start with a mono line until you learn what you are doing with it and then venture to other lines if needed. As for what lb test i can't answer that one it all depends what you are fishing for.

For a beginner........Need to be more specific......Open Faced Spinning Reel or Closed face Spincast Reel.
Spincast is what a beginner could handle easier.
