spinning reel

Angler's line holder

A spinning reel is a type of fishing reel that mounts below the rod, with a fixed spool and a rotating bail that wraps line around it during retrieval.

Unlike baitcasting reels, spinning reels are easier to cast and less prone to tangles, making them popular with beginners and versatile for many fishing situations: She loaded her spinning reel with six-pound test.
