Spinning Reels
Inertia-free reels
In order for fishing to bring pleasure, the spinning reel must be of high quality, suitable for a specific rod and the characteristics of the equipment. And in the store voblery.eu there are reels with different characteristics, among which you can easily find a suitable option. And to make it easier for you to choose, we will tell you how one fishing reel differs from another.
Spool size
This is one of the main parameters by which fishing reels differ. And although many manufacturers have their own numbering, the Shimano size classification is considered to be the reference one. According to this classification, spinning reels are numbered with four–digit numbers - 1000, 2000, 2500, 3000 and so on. The size of the reels and their weight depend on the size of the spool. To maintain the balance of the entire tackle, the size must be selected both for the rod and for the diameter of the cord or fishing line:
- ultralight – 1000-1500;
- light – 1500-2000;
- medium – 2500-3000;
- heavy – 3000 and above.
If you need a relatively versatile tackle, it's better to buy a 2500 inertia-free reel.
Spool capacity
Despite the same size, one spinning reel can accommodate, say, 150 m of cord of the same diameter, and the other – 250. It depends on the depth of the spool. Any high-quality spinning reel has information on the spools:
- the lengths of the cable to fit;
- the diameter of the cord.
And if you buy a spinning reel of a small capacity, then a thick cord in a standard unwinding may not fit there. And on deep spools, you will have to wind down the backing so that the winding reaches the upper edge.
Gear ratio
Each inertia-free reel produces a different number of turns of the logger at one turn of the handle. The higher the gear ratio, the faster the rewinding can be performed. According to this indicator , the inertia-free reel can be:
- high-speed (above 5.8);
- power(up to 4.8);
- universal (4,9-5,7).
If you need a spinning reel for pike, especially trophy, catfish, large walleye, then it is better to stop at power models. They are designed for serious loads. For long-distance fishing of asp and in other situations when you have to bait quickly, it is advisable to buy a high-speed spinning reel. The universal fishing reel is suitable for most conditions.
Which manufacturers have better fishing reels
Some anglers believe that fishing reel fishing is a secondary element. This may be the case if you catch once a year. But if fishing trips are regular, then you should not save much, and the price for good spinning reels cannot be a throwaway. The inertia-free reel with poor-quality processing of spools or loggers quickly "kills" the best cord, and incorrect operation of the mechanism leads to the formation of loops and "beards". In addition, a cheap reel can simply fall apart in your hands just when you have the "trophy of a lifetime", and this situation is not uncommon at all.
Therefore, the store voblery.eu presents the best fishing reels, including the products of the flagships of the fishing industry – Shimano andDaiwa. Both premium models and more budget models available to many are produced under these brands. And although inexpensive Shimano and Daiwa reel are inferior in some characteristics (smoothness, noise) to their top-end counterparts, they are very high-quality products and never let their owners down.
