The world first heard about the Japanese brand Ryobi in 1943. Then the company produced car parts and some electronics, and it decided to master the fishing market only by the mid-70s. True, the direction lasted only 15 years. Already by 1990, the division was completely abandoned, but after some time the company realized that they were losing a significant market, and decided to resume the production of spinning reels.

Experience and knowledge in the field of mechanics, as well as a host of the most advanced technologies, have allowed Ryobi to create the most advanced reels. A distinctive feature was the use of all-metal cases. No one has done this before Ryobi. Of course, metals gradually became a thing of the past.They were replaced by graphite and composites, which made the products even stronger and more durable.

Reliability is the hallmark of Ryobi coils. Even in the budget price segment, the company produces exceptionally high-quality goods that deserve attention. Gradually expanded and lineup. Of course, in terms of the diversity of the catalog, Ryobi cannot compete with market mastodons like Shimano or Daiwa, but it should be understood that for this brand, fishing products are only one of a dozen areas of activity. And not the main and not even in the top three.

In 2021, the company continues to expand its product range and complement existing model lines. It is to supplement, since you will not find new directions here. The very first Oasys family is still in production today, and for lovers of expensive rigs, reels from the Krieger line are suitable. However, the word "budget" is poorly applicable to Ryobi. At least when compared to the general market for fishing accessories. But in comparison with the same Shimano, Ryobi coils are much cheaper, although the quality is in no way inferior to the most eminent manufacturer in the world.

Best price

The cheapest inertialess reel in the Ryobi brand catalog, which costs almost half the price of the nearest competitor.

  • Average price: 1,950 rubles.
  • Gear ratio: 5.1:1
  • Clutch location: rear
  • Materials (body/spool): composite/aluminum
  • Size: 1000

The Riobi brand rarely indulges its admirers with democratic price tags. But there are exceptions. Before us is the cheapest fishing reel from a famous Japanese brand.It has traditionally high quality, reliable construction and all the latest bells and whistles. The secret of the low price lies partly in the size of the product. There are only 1000 Shimano units, but a fast gear ratio that allows you to use jig and other aggressive fishing methods. The reel fits perfectly on ultralight and medium class spinning rods. It has a universal mount and a well-thought-out handle that is easy to move to another position, while the likelihood of jumping off the seat is minimized.

Pros and cons
  • Attractive price
  • Convenient fastening
  • Rear clutch
  • Lightweight composite body
  • Rarely found in retail stores
  • Often forged and copied
  • tubular brace

Top 4. RYOBI Arctica CF 4000

Rating (2022): 4.58
The most reliable coil

The model with the highest reliability index. The design is reinforced in all traditionally weak areas, including the handle.

  • Average price: 8,130 rubles.
  • Gear Ratio: 5.0:1
  • Clutch Location: Front
  • Materials (body/spool): aluminium/aluminum
  • Size: 4000
  • Number of bearings: 7
  • Weight (g): 315

Any fishing reel has weak points. Most often, the handle fails, or rather, its attachment to the body. In this model, Ryobi tried to eliminate this shortcoming by maximally strengthening the structure in all weak points. As a result, the handle has become more massive. She has additional bolts and fixation mechanisms. Everything is very reliable and durable, only if you decide to rearrange the handle, certain difficulties will arise with this. At the very least, you'll need the right tool. There are also reinforcements at the point of contact between the spool and the body.The gap in this place is clearly visible, but under the spool there is a dense rubber gland that protects the insides from the penetration of dust and dirt.

Pros and cons
  • Reinforced construction
  • Powerful handle
  • Additional gland under the body
  • The highest quality
  • Difficult to change handle
  • Not the best balance

Top 3. RYOBI TT Power 3000

Rating (2022): 4.61
original design

Coil in an unusual form factor and colors for the Ryobi brand. Reinforced model suitable for trolling and other aggressive types of fishing.

  • Average price: 5 100 rubles.
  • Gear ratio: 5.1:1
  • Clutch Location: Front
  • Materials (body/spool): aluminium/aluminum
  • Size: 3000
  • Number of bearings: 6
  • Weight (g): 310

Riobi is a conservative brand that does not like to change the format of its products. Many coils from this manufacturer are very similar to each other, but there are exceptions. One of them is now in front of us. There is not even the traditional yellow for the company, although it is part of the brand and a distinctive feature. The fishing reel is universal. It is suitable for any spinning rod and can also be used for trolling. Winding speed is average. The smoothness of 6 bearings is sufficient, but it is best to use the reel when catching a predator. The spool capacity is 3000 Shimano units, and the weight of the structure is 310 grams. The build quality is top notch as always, and the handle mount allows you to withstand the highest loads.

Pros and cons
  • original design
  • Versatile design
  • Handle with own bearing
  • Total 6 bearings per housing
  • No quick clutch release
  • Difficult to repair

Top 2. RYOBI Zauber 4000

Rating (2022): 4.73
Most popular model

A reel from the brand's most popular family. Differs in a solid body and high maintainability.

  • Average price: 5 720 rubles.
  • Gear ratio: 5.1:1
  • Clutch Location: Front
  • Materials (body/spool): aluminium/aluminum
  • Size: 4000

The Ryobi brand has several main lines. The Zauber family is rightfully considered the most popular. These are models with the best value for money. They can be put on any spinning rod and used, including for such types of fishing as jig. The winding speed provides a gear ratio of 5.1 to one. Not the highest value, but it allows you to hatch any fish, be it an aggressive pike or an apathetic roach. Winding smoothness is ensured by 8 bearings. They are all working and easy to get to. The reel is maintainable, which also affects its popularity among fishermen. However, you hardly have to disassemble the case. Protection against pollution at the highest level.

Pros and cons
  • Universal use
  • Optimal Performance
  • Powerful clutch
  • Additional module similar to byterunner
  • Weak coating on the bracket
  • shallow spool

Top 1. RYOBI Krieger 4000

The best ratio of price and quality

A reel from the top line of the manufacturer, which includes the most technologically advanced and modern models.

  • Gear Ratio: 5.0:1
  • Clutch Location: Front
  • Materials (body/spool): aluminium/aluminum

Krieger is a whole line of the Riobi brand, which includes the most technologically advanced models of the manufacturer.High quality is not even worth mentioning, it is traditional for all models, but the brand never stands still and constantly invents something new. It is in Krieger that these innovations are used in the first place. For example, a modern system of protection against dust and dirt has been introduced here. The coil is completely sealed. She is not afraid of getting into the water. The body itself, like the spool, is aluminum, that is, not subject to corrosion and aging. The handle is firmly attached to the body. Changing its position will not be easy, but the likelihood of jumping off the seat is minimized.

Pros and cons
  • The most modern coil
  • Reliable protection of internals from pollution
  • Unique handle attachment system
  • Maximum corrosion protection
  • Difficult to change the handle to the other side
  • Leg too long
  • tubular brace
