Reel

A reel is a device that can be used to store or wind something flexible, such as a fishing line, a ribbon, a cable, or a hose.

A reel usually has a cylindrical core, called a spool, and a handle or a crank to rotate the spool.

Some reels also have a brake or a clutch to control the speed or tension of the winding.

There are different types of reels for different purposes.

For example, a fishing reel is a small device attached to a fishing rod that helps to cast and retrieve the fishing line.

A film reel is a large spool that holds a strip of photographic film, especially for motion pictures.

A hose reel is a cylindrical device that stores a garden hose and can be mounted on a wall or a cart.

Reels can also refer to a kind of Scottish or Irish dance, or the music for this dance.

A reel is a lively dance that involves fast footwork and spinning movements.

The music for a reel is usually in 2/4 or 4/4 time, with a simple melody and a steady rhythm.

Reels are often played on instruments such as the fiddle, the flute, the accordion, or the bagpipes.
