In order to narrow your options down, think about what features are most important for how you like to fish

The example below shows a typical California halibut and bass setup for surf fishing with a wide-gape weighted weedless hook with underspin rigged on a 5" ribbed white swimbait

Large gang-trolls, popular for lake trout, have a number of blades, a rudder at the front to prevent line twist, and a snap-swivel or clip at the back

Open face reels are best when: You want to fish for bigger or stronger species (like bass, pike, trout, or even saltwater fish)

They have a sinker tied above a swivel with a single hook on a length of leader below that

This will ensure fewer issues on the water
