Introduction

An integral attribute of spinning fishing is convenient and reliable. When equipped with it, it becomes an obligatory element.

And if in Soviet times about 5 models were offered to fishermen, then Today, the choice is complicated due to the abundance of various modifications.. But such a rich assortment allows you to find exactly the coil that fits perfectly into the spinning tackle.

So before buying this part from the angler already.

Varieties of coils

Currently, there are three distinct groups of reels according to the device for equipping spinning.

Each of them can become an indispensable part for certain fishing conditions.

  1. Old and already almost completely rejected by fishermen the inertial coil today is experiencing a second youth. The main disadvantage of these models was the inconvenience that occurred during the casting of the bait. If the reel drum turned easily, it had to be held with a finger. Otherwise, the speed of rotation was ahead of the winding of the fishing line, which is why it turned out to be tangled. The novice angler was more engaged in spinning the “beard” than in catching a predator. When the drum was artificially slowed down, the light bait could not be cast far from the shore. At present, coils have appeared that are devoid of such shortcomings. In this regard, spinningists are gradually looking at them again.
  2. The most popular spinning reel for fishing in freshwater areas is the spinning reel. "Meat grinders" appealed to many due to ease of handling and high reliability. In these models, the line is wound on the spool perpendicular to the line of the rod. This helps to evenly distribute any thread on the spool. When the line laying bracket opens, the line comes off the spool at the slightest pull. The only drawback is the formation of waves on some types of thread. But for any spinning it will not be difficult to find the smallest or largest "meat grinder".
  3. The most powerful spinning reels are multipliers. They have proven themselves when casting heavy lures, as well as. Some walleye hunters at night also prefer multiplier models. They allow you to control the bite of a predator with your fingers, between which the fishing line passes.

I would advise a beginner angler to get acquainted with spinning fishing with a spinning reel.

Sea fishing reels

Fans of sea fishing most often require special reels. This is due to a different composition of the ichthyofauna and environmental features.

Given the size of marine fish, first of all, a reliable and impressive design is required, which is not afraid of salt water and powerful jerks of large individuals. In this regard, when choosing a coil, attention should be paid to the quality of isolation of rubbing parts from the penetration of an aggressive mineral salt solution.

For sea fishing, experienced anglers prefer to use three types of reels:

  • inertialess models;
  • multipliers;
  • electric coils.

Inertialess reels for sea fishing differ from freshwater counterparts in their large size and the presence of protective seals.

Marine multipliers are most often made in the form of a monolithic structure. The coil differs in tightness and the increased resistance to corrosion. For injection molding, aluminum is usually used.

An electric baitcasting reel is ideal for deep water fishing. These models are applicable to fish species such as cod, saithe, halibut, grouper, red perch, etc.

The subtleties of choosing a spinning reel

When choosing a reel for a spinning rod, a novice angler should pay attention to the following points:


Advice: Many anglers prefer to choose a reel based on the length of the spinning rod. This is a simplified, but quite effective opportunity to quickly complete the tackle. For example, for large spinning rods (2.7-3.3 m), a “meat grinder” of 2500-3500 is required. When assembling an ultralight rod, the length of which is 2.1-2.4 m, the light models 1500-2000 are ideal.

Choice by price and manufacturer

Spinning reels are mass-produced by various companies around the world.

The best samples are produced by the following companies:


When choosing a spinning reel, the opinion of an experienced friend is often decisive. He fishes in the same area as the rookie and also visits the same shops. They don't always have Shimano or even Banax products. But there are other models tested on fishing. So why not equip the first fishing rod with such a reel?
