TOP 10 best twitching reels
10 LUCKY JOHN VANREX CAST
Country: Latvia (made in China)
Average price: 5134 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.5
Among multiplier reels for spinning fishing, the LUCKY JOHN VANREX CAST model demonstrates an enviable resistance to jerky loads. The high quality of workmanship and features of the braking system were appreciated in their reviews by both beginners and the most experienced anglers. The ten-position magnetic design with fine tuning is reinforced with a mechanical axial stop - as a result of active casting, the formation of the so-called "beard" is reduced to zero. The spool is locked by the Fast Cast key, the sensitivity of which allows you to control the stop with a slight movement of your finger.
The cross-shaped cord laying mechanism provides the most dense and uniform winding, which is important when twitching with heavy and medium wobblers. At the same time, the reliability of the reel in operation does not cause any complaints at all - when fishing, it is able to provide the best opportunities for catching various methods of wiring.
9 RYOBI Excia MX 2000
Country: China
Average price: 4860 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.5
Fishing enthusiasts who choose a reel based on an average bait weight of 25-30 g often prefer the RYOBI Excia MX 2000 spinless model. The body of this model is made of aluminum and is equipped with a front clutch, which, judging by the reviews, can withstand maximum loads with a bang.
Also, with the help of this reel, it is quite easy to perform the most accurate long-range casting. This model is equipped with 8 ball and 1 roller anti-corrosion bearings.Largely due to their quality, the best reel traction is achieved. In the reviews, fans of twitching fishing confirm that even in the case of playing trophy prey, efforts during winding are minimal.
8 KOSADAKA BMX 5000
Country: Japan/Russia
Average price: 4120 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.6
Two brake clutches and a large number of bearings (10 pieces) in this reel determine the best resistance of the tackle to active use in fishing with maximum loads. The carbon fiber body is fully consistent with the filling of the coil - its reliability can be assessed with the naked eye. An obvious plus is the baitrunner, which allows you to successfully use equipment for catching trophy fish.
In the reviews of owners who actively use this reel for fishing, its characteristics are positively noted. When twitching, not only full control of the behavior of the wobbler is guaranteed - the free descent of the fishing line from the aluminum spool (there is a spare one - made of plastic) is controlled with one finger, which does not require any effort and does not distract from playing the prey. The removable handle is also convenient - it can be placed both under the left and under the right hand, but the weight of the coil (460 grams) seems excessive to some owners.
7 Stinger ForceAge Neo 2500
Country: Russia (produced in China)
Average price: 4350 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.6
This is the second reel from a popular manufacturer in Russia, included in our rating. It has a much more affordable price, but at the same time it is able to provide high quality wobbler fishing using jerky technology.A graphite body, a fairly roomy aluminum spool (240 m of 0.235 mm thick line), 6 bearings and an excellent gear ratio (5.2: 1) are the best set for better behavior in intensive fishing conditions.
Fans of twitching who have chosen the Stinger ForceAge Neo 2500 in their reviews express their complete satisfaction with the behavior of this gear during jerky wiring. Users also like the weight of the coil - 245 grams, as well as good friction resistance to loads (capable of withstanding 7 kg). This guarantees trouble-free operation of gear during intensive fishing.
6 Okuma Helios HSX-20FD
Country: Japan
Average price: 7810 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.7
This brand produces fishing equipment of the highest quality, and the Okuma Helios HSX-20FD spinning reel fully complies with the brand's policy - it guarantees flawless performance during fishing. The rigidity of the carbon construction is ensured not only by an innovative material, but also by the exclusive Torsion Control Armor technology, which provides strength during active twitching with a wobbler of any size and reduces twisting.
In the reviews, the owners note the smoothness of the winding (costs 8 bearings), unusually light weight - only 180 grams. And this despite the fact that the spool holds 220 m of cord with a diameter of 0.15 mm. This "behind the eyes" is enough for a wide variety of fishing methods. The centrifugal Cyclonic Flow Rotor, made of heavy-duty C-40X carbon fiber, also received positive marks. It turned out not only light, but also completely not afraid of corrosion. For this reason, this equipment in our rating can safely be considered one of the best in terms of durability.
5 Mitchell Mag-Pro Extreme 2000
Country: Japan
Average price: 18480 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.7
Not every fishing enthusiast can afford this equipment for professional fishing with jerky wobbler wiring. This circumstance is the only weak point of the twitching coil. The spool is able to lay 300 meters of 0.25 mm thick cord, and the high gear ratio (5.2:1) allows you to bring the desired prey 86 cm closer with one turn of the handle. There are no complaints about the reliability of the device - 9 bearings provide smooth running .
The body is made of heavy-duty magnesium alloy, which is not afraid of corrosion. At the same time, the weight of the reel is very moderate (only 230 grams), given the capacity of the fishing line. By the way, the main spool is made of composite materials, while the additional spool is made of aluminum. Reviews are few for obvious reasons, but the ability to withstand stress, the flawless operation of the mechanism and the excellent precision of the design could not leave us indifferent - the Mitchell Mag-Pro Extreme 2000 is, although the most expensive, but certainly one of the best twitching reels included in the our rating.
