Top 10 Feeder Reels

The phrase budget Chinese coil is not a sentence. There are also worthy options in this niche, for example, the inertialess BUSHIDO Feeder Carp. The brand is young and cannot yet afford to inflate prices just for its name. This is precisely the main reason for such a low cost, since the characteristics here are quite adequate. Weighing 385g, the reel has a spool size of 5000 units and a gear ratio of 5.1:1. The winding speed is medium, which is great for a feeder.

The manufacturer, although Chinese, did not insert a bunch of unnecessary bearings into the case. There are 7 of them, and as they say in the reviews, they are quite high quality and are in a completely sealed case. Such a reel is quite capable of bringing ashore a trophy of medium and large sizes, and also gives you the opportunity to save a lot. By the way, the spool is alumel, which is also an advantage, especially considering that the model is budget.

The Chinese Okuma Inspira ISX-30R spinning reel competes with well-known brands in the domestic market. The manufacturer is not chasing a low price, relying on modern technologies and materials.Thanks to a high-precision elliptical gear, as well as the installation of 9 bearings, the manufacturer managed to achieve a smooth ride and accurate winding of the fishing line on the spool. The rotor is perfectly balanced, due to which there is no vibration.

The spool is made of anodized aluminum, the gears are machined from brass. This approach had a positive effect on the reliability of the unit. The main pair is reliably protected from water and dust with a sealed gasket. Fans of feeder fishing speak flatteringly about the smooth running, the absence of backlash, and the high-quality winding of the fishing line. The downside of the model is that the fishing line gets caught between the spool and the clutch when unwinding.

When targeted hunting for carp, grass carp or carp is carried out, the feeder should be equipped with an inertialess reel with a baitrunner. Good reviews can be read on the fishing forums about the meat grinder Salmo Elite BAITFEEDER 7 4000BR. The model has a durable body, comfortable handle, stylish design. Easy rotation is provided by 6 ball and 1 roller bearings.

The front drag is precision-adjustable, while the rear-mounted byterunner lever engages and disengages with a flick of a finger. The main spool is made of aluminum, which allows the use of braided lines. The kit also includes a graphite spool for monofilament. The capacity of the coil is 175 m of monofilament with a diameter of 0.30 mm. According to many indicators, the model can be attributed to elite products. At the same time, it is affordable for all categories of anglers. Of the minuses, it is worth noting the large weight (365 g).

DAIWA spinning reels have long been regarded as elite products in the fishing world. To make the price more affordable, the Fuego 4000D-C LT (17) was assembled in Vietnam. According to experts, the transfer of production did not greatly affect the quality. The product uses modern materials, innovative technologies are introduced. For example, the new DS5 graphite material and the Light&Tough concept had a positive effect on the mincer's weight (241 g).

Thanks to Tough gears, Digigear has been able to reduce the size of the body, as well as increase power and durability. The ATD braking system is responsible for uniformity of effort. The internal parts are reliably protected from moisture and dust, and the maximum load on the clutch is 12 kg. Fans of the feeder note in the reviews the absence of backlash, easy start and smooth running, a combination of compactness and power. Before starting operation, check the presence of lubrication on the parts of the main pair.

If you are looking for the best spinning reel and are not on a tight budget, definitely look to the Japanese Shimano brand. Here, traditionally high quality assembly and components, as well as the most advanced technologies. HYPERLOOP is an excellent model for feeder fishing. Its gear ratio is 4.9:1, that is, the rotation is quite slow, and the power is enough to bring even a very large trophy ashore. The reel has a front friction clutch, which is characterized by smooth adjustment. You will be able to set the parameters as accurately as possible and not be afraid of a breakdown.

The size is quite large, 6,000 units.The reel is perfect for long casts and heavy feeders. The materials from which the model is made also allow this. The entire body is made of a durable composite that is not subject to corrosion and provides maximum tightness. In general, this is the best option for feeder fishing using monofilament line.

A new brand on the fishing tackle market comes from Latvia. From the very first models, the company began to be in demand among buyers and received a lot of positive feedback. It has a quite reasonable price tag and excellent performance, especially when fishing on a feeder using a braided line. Reel ratio 5.1:1, size 4000. Medium performance for smooth output and medium casting distance.

The coil weighs less than 300 grams, as it is made of durable plastic, and the spool is made of aluminum.At the same time, the plastic construction here is not a minus, as with budget Chinese coils. The polymer is very durable and provides a decent tightness. Equipment deserves special attention. The manufacturer put in the box at once 2 additional spools of different sizes, clips for fixing the fishing line and even a spare handle. By the way, the spare handle is important here, since the connection is not threaded.

Before us is the most budgetary Chinese reel, perfect for fishing on a feeder using a braided line. An aluminum spool is installed here, and there are 5 bearings in the body. The manufacturer did not dissemble and cram extra modules that are not needed at all in practice. Consider the advantages and reinforced clip. Here it is a metal plate with a protective coating, tightly fixed to the case. The factor is very important for the feeder, and to which many manufacturers do not pay due attention.

True, it was not without its shortcomings. In particular, the handle here is on the spindle, and not on the thread. It is rearranged to any side, but the design itself is rather weak, especially if you have to display a large trophy weighing more than 9 kilograms. But she is very comfortable. Ergonomics are thought out perfectly. More precisely, copied from one of the Shimano models. The case when copying is not a minus.

Judging by the number of reviews on fishing resources and online stores, we have the most popular reel among feeder fishing enthusiasts.In fact, this is not surprising, as the product is really good and definitely worth a look. The 5000 size reel weighs only 400 grams and has a gear ratio of 4.6/1. Great option for a feeder. The speed is average, without sharp jerks. The smoothness of the drag is another benefit, as is the corrosion-resistant aluminum spool.

The case is composite, with plastic inserts, which does not prevent it from being completely sealed. The bearings installed inside the reel are also sealed. There are 7 of them, and this is quite enough for comfortable fishing. In addition, the design uses a twisted handle. This is the most reliable version that ensures the longest use of the reel, as the handle is the weakest part of any model.

The RYOBI Excia MX 3000 power coil belongs to the highest class. The Japanese manufacturer managed to find the optimal balance between an acceptable price and workmanship. The high reliability of the inertialess coil is due to the large number of metal parts. This compares favorably with Chinese meat grinders, which do not always withstand one feeder season. Experienced anglers note the absence of backlash, smooth running and perfect line laying.

Even under load, there are no dips or tubercles on the spool. The model promises to work for a long time with minimal maintenance, it has 9 bearings. The fine tuning of the friction brake should also be attributed to the strengths of the reel. Thanks to this, it is possible to use leashes made of braided cord, as well as the thinnest monofilament or fluorocarbon.Anglers should not hope when buying a spare spool and baitrunner.

To equip a light feeder, the SHIMANO STRADIC CI4+ C3000 FB spinning reel is perfect. This is the best model in terms of lightness (190 g) and manufacturability. The meat grinder appeared in 2016, embodying the most advanced technologies of the old proven products of the RARENIUM CI4 + and STRADIC CI4 series. The special COREPROTECT system protects the internal mechanism from dirt and water, which is inherent in elite coils.

The new body has become much stronger thanks to the use of an innovative material created using G-FREE BODY technology. A serious change is noted by experts in the Magnumlite rotor, it has become lighter, and the inertia of rotation has also decreased. Smooth rotation is ensured by 7 ball and 1 roller bearings. Numerous anglers in the reviews admire the smooth and silent operation, ease and quality of winding line. The high price becomes a deterrent to buying.
