10 best carp reels

The Chinese model Kaida KW 3000 opens our rating of budget carp reels. Despite the most affordable price tag, many owners liked fishing with this rig. Kaida KW 3000 is great for hunting smaller carp thanks to the line drop system. Baytraner, 7 bearings, excellent gear ratio (5.2 / 1) - these are far from all the advantages, which are also confirmed by the reviews of the owners.

In addition, the carp reel has an attractive price. Paying a little more than one thousand rubles for such functionality is not difficult for many carp fishing enthusiasts. At the same time, the quality of the product is such that even after a couple of years of operation, users have no complaints - as a rule, the coils work without breakdowns, backlashes and extraneous sounds.

When choosing a reel with a baitrunner for carp fishing, many anglers pay attention to the domestic VOLZHANKA model. In the budget segment, it is far from the cheapest, and maintainability and reliable functionality are deservedly considered its advantages. The carbon fiber body is more resistant to shock loads, and the presence of 9 bearings allows you to correlate the characteristics of the reel on an equal footing with the parameters of more expensive models.

The reviews fully confirm the fact that the purchase of budget gear has a positive effect on the quality of fishing, but with less investment. Thanks to the hardware balancing of the rotor, the VOLZHANKA carp reel is capable of continuous and high-quality work for more than one active season.The possibility of additional acquisition of spools in the required quantity is also positively assessed. This allows you to prepare in advance the winding of fishing line of different thicknesses in order to quickly adjust the tackle to specific fishing conditions.

Powerful spinning reel with a low gear is the best suited for carp fishing - the reliability of the mechanism and the increased capacity of the spool will allow the fisherman to achieve his goals in any conditions, working both on distant casts and close up. Despite the highest price tag in the budget category, the Polish MIKADO Splendid 950 deservedly entered the top three leading models.

The number of bearings increased to 9 and the front multi-plate clutch are positioned as the strengths of the model, worthy of attention. The carp reel is equipped with a baitreiner system for dropping the line in case of a strong bite. A reinforced axle and a perfectly balanced rotor when fishing for large carp fully justify the cost of the Splendid 950 - there are only positive ratings in the reviews of the owners.

The best offer for anglers who know how to count their money. The Japanese company controls the process of assembling carp reels in China, which made it possible to declare itself in the budget segment. Defender V7 3000 is in great demand, as it has all the characteristics of models with a more expensive price tag.For safe carp fishing, there is a baitrunner, 7 bearings provide smooth running, and 200 m of fishing line (0.25 mm) can easily fit on the spool.

The location of the removable handle is under the left hand, and some owners do not like this particular aspect of the model. As for the functionality, the budget coil proved to be quite unpretentious during use. Users are quite satisfied with not the weakest gear ratio (4.9 / 1), as well as quite moderate weight (357 g) of this particular model - there are copies of a little more than 500 g in the Defender subgroup. The force regulator in the bytraner mechanism also deserved positive ratings in the reviews . For a budget coil, its presence is the best sign of quality and reliability in operation.

Despite the fact that this budget reel is quite heavy - 475 grams, there are enough other reasons that allowed the Polish Elite BAITFEEDER to top the list of the most affordable models with a baitfeeder. When carp fishing, this mechanism, coupled with two friction clutches and 7 bearings (one of which is roller), does an excellent job even with trophy specimens, ensuring the smooth operation of the mechanism under any load.

The owners point to a good gear ratio (5.2 / 1), design reliability and winding capacity - 195 m with a line thickness of 0.35 mm. The presence of a backup (graphite) spool in the kit is also positively noted. Left-handed owners left a lot of positive feedback - the possibility of left-handed installation allowed them to use this reel for carp fishing with complete comfort.Even after a couple of years of intensive use, there are absolutely no complaints from anglers - they are completely satisfied with their choice.

The rating in this category is opened by the carp reel Stinger Trinergy BR 4500. Despite the fact that this equipment closely borders on budget models, it has features that make it on this side of the price section. Eight bearings, a stopper, Slow Shaft winding, an independent clutch with a bytraner system (rear) - and these are not all the advantages of the model.

Ergonomics and lightness of the body, optimal gear ratio for a powerful reel (4.9/1) deserve a positive assessment from the owners. The reviews also note the acceptable weight of the model (480 g) and a spare spool (steel). The price advantage was not left without attention: for the existing build quality, it looks like a serious bonus, making this model one of the most popular among carp fishing enthusiasts.

The reel is equipped with a reliable rotation mechanism with two clutches and a baitrunner system. The gear ratio (4y5/1) is the best suited for carp fishing, allowing you to work effectively under load. Excellent traction characteristics could not but affect the weight of the equipment - 651 g.And at the same time, there are only 5 bearings in the carp reel, but, judging by the reviews of the owners, this does not affect the characteristics of the equipment in any way.

Line winding is precise, and the special design of the spool prevents slipping. The carbon fiber body protects the ellipsoid gear mechanism, and the rotor (also made of graphite) has a RES II balancing system. When carp or other large-sized fish are thrown out, this design feature ensures trouble-free winding. At the same time, the capacity of the spool allows you to fish at different distances - its capacity of fishing line with a thickness of 0.35 mm reaches 430 m.

The Avocast FS 6000 carp reel is designed to work under heavy load. Withstanding a tractive effort of a record 6.4 kg, it is distinguished by a reliable design - front drag, 8 bearings and a line drop system (baytraner) copes with difficult tasks better than others. In the MITCHELL reel, special attention is paid to such details as winding speed and gear ratio. The parameters are selected in such a way that in any conditions the fishing line fits perfectly - turn to turn.

In the reviews, the owners highly appreciate the ability to fine-tune the friction clutch - thanks to this feature, many managed to fish trophy carp onto a thin line. The reel is perfectly balanced, has a solid body and a decent winding capacity. MITCHELL Avocast FS 6000 is successfully used by both sports and carp anglers. There has never been such a thing that this equipment failed and failed.The owners have a strong belief that this is one of the best reels and value for money.

The carp reel SHIMANO BAITRUNNER X AERO RA 10000 was able to share the success of the leader of our review. The model also received the highest rating, for which there are good reasons. Judge for yourself: the design uses 12 unique technologies that fully justify the high cost of equipment. The special configuration of the spool edge allows for accurate casting over long distances, impeccable corrosion resistance and shielded bearings, forged high-strength aluminum mechanism - and this is not all the advantages of the best model.

The owners of the carp reel X AERO RA with a baitrunner are satisfied with the choice, despite the highest price. It is designed for hunting trophy carp – the friction clutch works perfectly even under heavy load, withstanding a pulling force of 5 kg. The reviews positively assess the winding speed (99 cm of cord are neatly laid in one turn) and the high capacity of the spool (holds 510 m of fishing line with a diameter of 0.3 mm)

Japanese reel for carp fishing Emblem BR 25 A is strikingly different from the budget DAIWA models. A large gear ratio (5.3/1) allows you to wind 106 cm in one revolution. This speed when dumping carp is supported by the impeccable reliability of the mechanism.The spool of increased diameter allows you to make high-precision long-range casts - despite its compactness and relatively light weight (510 g), the model shows the capabilities of heavy reels of the Big Pit line - it can handle a trophy catch.

Owners of the Emblem BR 25 A professional equipment find it much in common with another popular DAIWA model, the Cast izm 25 QDA. The difference is the baitrunner system, without which hunting for carp can lead to damage to tackle or its loss. In the reviews of both professionals and fishing enthusiasts, the reel is rated as the most effective equipment. Listening to the opinion of karpovists, we also position this model as one of the best in our rating.
