20 best spinning reels

If you are looking for an inexpensive spinning reel, but you are going to fish for pike or other large predators, take a look at this product from a popular Japanese brand. The main advantage of the model is the best sensitivity, thanks to which you can respond to bites in a timely manner, and the smooth running makes it possible to make the most complex wiring.

But it got into our rating due to maintainability. The reel comes with two spare spools, as well as several bearings and a replaceable handle. As they write in the reviews, this is a very important aspect, since when fighting a serious predator, breaking the handle is not uncommon. And this despite the size of the coil of 4 thousand units and a weight of almost 300 grams. By the way, the spools included in the kit are of different sizes and capacities, from 100 to 190 meters. An excellent inexpensive option, besides from a famous brand. Not the best model in the manufacturer's lineup, but definitely worthy of attention.

Among the products released by Daiva, inexpensive options are rarely found, but we managed to find just such a reel - and it can safely be called the best in its category. First of all, this is the highest build quality for which this manufacturer is famous. As well as the use of only advanced materials and components. However, there is nothing innovative here. An ordinary cheap spinning reel weighing 256 grams.

Equipped with a front friction brake and two types of bearings: roller and ball. The gear ratio is 5.3 to 1, and the size of the structure is 3,000. The capacity of the spool stands out in particular. With a size of 0.3 mm, it winds up to 185 meters of fishing line. By the way, the spool is made of a special aluminum alloy. The material is lightweight yet durable. He is not afraid of exposure to moisture and even direct contact with water.

Before us is an inertialess coil from a Russian manufacturer, collecting a lot of positive feedback on specialized resources. Despite the affordable price tag, it boasts high build quality and materials used, as well as acceptable technical characteristics.

The model is inertialess, equipped with a front friction brake. The gear ratio is 5.1 and 1, and the size is 3 thousand units. The total weight is only 215 grams, and this is the best result, thanks to which she got into our rating. The reel comes with three interchangeable spools of different sizes. The smallest option is only 0.23 millimeters and allows you to wind up to 100 meters of fishing line.At the maximum setting, the length of the cord increases to 185 meters. The Volzhanka company has proved that an inexpensive reel can also be of high quality and reliable. Reviews of real users fully confirm this fact.

A spinning reel that has won recognition among anglers due to its high quality and reliability. Despite the rather low price, it is included in the class of accessories for mid-level spinning rods. The rotation of the handle is based on the presence of four radial bearings (one roller and three ball bearings), which provide smooth and easy movement. The friction brake mechanism includes several discs that provide the reel with sufficient stopping power when fishing fish out of the pond. An aluminum spool increases the accuracy of casting - this is especially acute on light lures and when fishing with floats. But the dynamics of the reel received the greatest approval from anglers - the work proceeds smoothly, without extraneous vibrations, which is ensured by the use of Dyna-Balance technology.

Advantages:

• lightweight design;
• smoothness of the handle;
• reliability and quality of the device;
• use of proprietary technologies.

Flaws:

• when casting, heavy baits lead to the side.

One of the best budget reels for spinning of any level.Thanks to its perfectly balanced action, it is able to compete with many more expensive models, which is why it is often the first choice for both beginners and advanced fishermen. The titanium-coated spool is designed for 160 meters of fishing line with a cross section of 0.33 mm, which is enough even for sea fishing. Friction disc brake has a fine step - thanks to this, the braking system can be fine-tuned. The smooth rotation of the handle is ensured by a mechanism of five bearings - the developers decided to add an additional ball element of rotation because of the need and to ensure greater smoothness of rotation. The Ryobi ECUSIMA 3000 is the ideal reel for feeder fishing.

Advantages:

• balancing at the proper level;
• high quality workmanship;
• able to compete with elite coils;
• acceptable price.

Flaws:

• not detected.

It is known that the more bearings in the reel, the smoother the run and the softer the winding and casting is.In this model, the manufacturer immediately placed 7 working bearings, including 6 ball and one roller. This is not a record, and the famous Shimano brand managed to supply 15 modules at a time, but the price there exceeded 100 thousand rubles.

Here we see a quite affordable product with high build quality, which is confirmed by reviews on specialized resources. Unfortunately, a large number of elements in the design led to an increase in weight. With a size of 3 thousand units, the coil weighs almost three hundred grams, which is relatively large for such a model. But manufacturers did not spare spare spools. There are three of them in the package of different sizes and with different capacities.

Top manufacturers are famous for their love of overpricing. But this is not always the case, and this spinning reel is a direct proof of this. Before us is a product from one of the best manufacturers of goods for fishing. The Japanese know a lot about these things. For such a famous manufacturer, the coil is inexpensive, however, it cannot boast of anything outstanding.

The model is inertialess with a front friction brake and a gear ratio of 5.1 to one. The size of the structure is only 2 thousand, and this is the smallest reel that can even deal with pike. The body is completely composite, and the spool is aluminum. This combination makes the model as strong as possible, but at the same time heavy - its weight is 258 grams. That's a lot for such a compact size. But the reviews are extremely positive. They praise both the reliability of the assembly and the smoothness of the ride, as well as the stability of the inertial brake.

The strength of the body is one of the main indicators of the reliability of the reel. In this case, we see an all-graphite version, and this is the best material for such equipment. Graphite is not afraid of any impact at all. It does not interact with water, is not subject to rust and salting, is very strong and durable. In addition, this model can be called cheap.

From the technical side, there is nothing outstanding here. An ordinary spinless reel with a size of 4 thousand with a gear ratio of 5.0 to 1. Definitely not the best result, and you will not be able to handle large pike. But fishing for smaller aquatic fauna is quite affordable. True, the weight of the coil is almost 300 grams. Which is quite a lot, especially considering that the spool is made of lightweight aluminum alloy. But its capacity is definitely worthy of the title of the best. With a size of only 0.35 mm, it holds up to 200 meters of fishing line. An absolute record in our ranking.

One of DAIWA's premium reel models, with the emphasis on maximum ergonomics for intensive use. It is simply impossible to explain the total underestimation of the mass of the structure otherwise - for all its coolness and abundance of residual resource, the Ballistic LT 2500D XH weighs only 180 grams. Completing spinning rods with such a reel will become akin to the highest pleasure - casting fishing is guaranteed not to cause hand fatigue.It is worth noting the very smooth execution of the rotary parts of the mechanism, based on six ball bearings.

From the point of view of users, the most attention in the Ballistic LT 2500D XH deserves the average capacity of the spool (150 meters of monofilament with a section of 0.28 mm), as well as the presence of a backstop. Yes, its cost is very high, but the durability, which anglers have repeatedly spoken about, fully pays for all costs.

The spinning reel from a well-known Japanese brand never ceases to delight fishermen with stable performance and excellent performance. The swivel mechanism is equipped with seven bearings in case of varying load values ​​from the smallest to the most significant when catching fairly large predatory fish. Specifically, this model was created for ultralight type spinning rods - perfect balancing allows for very accurate casting of light baits and float gear. Actually, Shimano Biomaster FB is a full-fledged successor to the enchanting Shimano Twin Power FC series, which was discontinued in 2012. A real Japanese reel with a pliable character - moreover, at a quite reasonable price for professionals.

Advantages:

• a wide range of models for each type of spinning;
• the presence of an anti-corrosion coating on all constituent elements;
• high build quality, durability of use;
• redesigned mechanism with X-SHIP technology.

Flaws:

• not identified.

The multiplier reel does not have to be mounted on a spinning rod. There are models designed for winter fishing, and they have some features. Casting with such a reel will not work. But it has a downhill system and an emergency brake. Despite the fact that the model is inertial, fishing with it is a pleasure. The manufacturer has made all the modules so that they are easy to handle even with large gloves.

There are two spool options to choose from, both included in the kit. The graphite version is designed for use with a braided cord, and the aluminum version is for a single monofilament. A special advantage is the presence of a magnetic braking system. Thanks to it, you will be able to descend at a controlled speed without resorting to the help of the handle. Simply put, this is the best model for winter fishing, but due to its narrow specialization, it got to such a place in our rating.

In most cases, Japanese companies are the TOP manufacturers of fishing tackle, but in Europe, local brands are more popular, and GRFISH is one of them. If you look at the entire model line, you come to the conclusion that this option is quite budgetary, although its technical aspects leave much to be desired.

The multiplier works on only three ball bearings with a gear ratio of 3.8 to 1. The spool is completely aluminum, containing up to 260 meters of cord. It is unlikely that pike or catfish are found at such a distance, but judging by the description, the reel is designed for sea fishing, hence the weight of the structure is almost half a kilogram. For convenience, there is a line counter. And mechanical, not electronic. An excellent solution for those who are accustomed to fully control the process of fishing. In general, an interesting option for certain circles, which could not fail to get into our rating.

The best multiplier reel doesn't have to cost a fortune. Before us is a relatively inexpensive model from one of the most popular Japanese manufacturers. When buying Kosadaka brand products, the first thing you can be unconditionally sure of is the highest build quality. Numerous positive reviews on specialized resources fully confirm this.

The multiplier system for the left hand is equipped with seven ball bearings and one roller. Gear ratio 6.3 to unit. The body is made of a durable composite that is not affected by moisture, and the spool is made of aluminum. Its capacity is up to 250 meters of fishing line, and the weight of the entire system is 198 grams. Excellent results for a budget model.In addition, the coil will last a very long time. The manufacturer knows a lot about durable products, which has been repeatedly proven in practice.

The inexpensive Shimano multiplier reel has gained high popularity due to its excellent overall performance (205 grams of weight) and the reliability of the working mechanism. Like all products of this manufacturer, Caius A (CIS151A) is based on the use of a deliberately small number of bearings: four ball and one roller. However, despite the constructive minimalism, backlashes and wedging overtake this model quite rarely. The gear ratio of the gearing is 6.3:1 and makes it possible to wind up the line very quickly with a successful bite.

User feedback speaks of the excellent adaptability of SHIMANO Caius A to the most difficult operating conditions. Yes, the aluminum spool lacks a little line capacity (only 125 meters of 0.25 mm line). However, in reality, this is the only serious miscalculation made by Shimano.

One of the latest developments of the notorious Japanese company Daiwa, the "Excellent" Exceler 100H multiplier reel is the best addition for first-class spinning. In terms of smoothness, power and reliability, it convincingly bypasses many elite models, the cost of which is several times higher. One roller and eight deep groove ball bearings are responsible for smooth turning of the handle.As a clutch, a MagForce Z braking system based on the action of magnets is installed. As long as the coil is new, there are no problems. However, after a long period of operation, the magnetic brake begins to "freaky". Otherwise, this is quite a budget option, which can be purchased not only by professionals, but also by sophisticated amateurs.

Advantages:

• attractive price;
• the use of a magnetic clutch;
• well-established mechanism;
• competitiveness in the segment of more expensive coils.

Flaws:

• Improper use results in defects in the braking system.

Professional spinning rods and reels are rarely budgetary, and the concept of high cost is relative here. Now we have a quite inexpensive product, at least considering its technical capabilities. Reel for saltwater and professional fishing, weighing over half a kilogram and working with a gear ratio of 4.2 to 1. The entire body is made of durable graphite, even the handle. Polyprene inserts are installed in the grip points for ease of use.

The spool is replaceable.The kit comes with two options - from graphite, in the case of using a braided thread, and aluminum, designed for winding ordinary fishing line. The spool capacity is up to 420 meters, which is normal for such models, but it is strange, since there is no line counter, at least a mechanical one.

The multiplier reel is designed to fight with a serious opponent. If there is a hardened pike on the other end of the line, it is quite capable of breaking the reel mechanism. If this is not a Daiva, in which the manufacturer has provided for all force majeure situations. The design has a number of reinforcements on the body, which, in turn, is made of durable graphite. Even the spool here is graphite, which completely eliminates the appearance of rust even after prolonged contact with water.

At the height and technical parameters. The gear ratio is 8.1 to 1. The weight of the structure is only 200 grams, and the capacity of the spool is up to 90 meters of cord. Not the highest, but river fishing rarely requires more line. The spool itself is also graphite, with the possibility of replacing it with aluminum if fishing is planned using monofilament. Daiva is famous for its ability to make reliable things, and Tatula SV TW is a great proof of that.

If our rating was compiled solely on the basis of reviews on specialized resources, this multiplier reel would definitely hit the TOP. How many laudatory odes have been written for this model, how many rave reviews - and this despite the cost of almost 50 thousand rubles.However, for professional equipment this is not the highest price.

The model is designed for sea fishing, hence its size and weight of 715 grams. The gear ratio is 3.6 to one, and the spool capacity is up to 400 meters of fishing line. Catching pike in rivers with such a tool is simply pointless. For convenience, an electronic line counter with an automatic braking mechanism is installed on board. You simply set the required length in the settings, and as soon as the measured amount is reached, the latch will work. A great option for lovers of fishing in the depths of the sea.

The premium reel from Abu Garcia also won a place in the ranking - the lightest model in the entire segment under consideration. Manufacturers were very concerned about the ergonomics of the multiplicator, and therefore decided to base the development on the use of an ultra-light magnesium alloy. It turned out very well: the total weight of the structure was 154 grams. At the same time, experimental studies have shown the complete readiness of the coil to meet with serious resistance from predators.

Largely due to the pursuit of small weights, the Abu Garcia Revo MGX-L LP noticeably lost to opponents in terms of roominess. In the best case, the line capacity of its spool is enough for 115 meters of fishing line with a diameter of 0.30 mm. Not to say that this fact greatly affects the fishing conditions, but in some cases it is able to play a cruel joke with anglers.

Balanced premium multiplier, the main advantage of which is a very capacious spool. The overall dimensions of the Shimano Curado 201 IHG are not too different from competitive models, however, much more space was allocated for the fishing line - about 150 meters with a cross section of 0.3 mm. This fact allows anglers to widely vary fishing locations - from rivers and prey in the form of pike with pike perch to seas with casting for sea bass and other inhabitants of this area.

In terms of construction, Shimano decided not to experiment with minimalism and equipped the Curado 201 IHG mechanism with six rolling bearings. Actually, the durability parameters are in order here: the feedback from anglers speaks of almost three years of use of the reel without the appearance of backlash and other troubles.
