Top 10 5000 spinning reels

Chinese manufacturers often delight buyers with adequate price tags. Before us is not an easy inexpensive, but the maximum budget reel with a size of 5000 units. Finding a model cheaper is unlikely, at least considering the parameters of the model and its characteristics. NaoHai NF5.000 is a model with a front clutch and 3 working bearings. This is enough to ensure a smooth ride, since the gear ratio is only 4.5: 1, that is, the winding is slow.This should be taken into account if fishing is planned using a jig or fast lure. The coil is not suitable for them. It is also recommended to buy equipment in real stores in order to be able to check the product for defects.

The concept of "comfortable fishing" is individual. It is more convenient for someone to handle coils with a front friction clutch, for someone - with a rear one. But there are also universal models, where this mechanism is placed simultaneously on both sides of the gear. AKARA Geden Carp is just such a model, and this is its main advantage. There is also some kind of baitrunner here. More precisely, its lighter version. The reel is able to adjust the degree of tension of the fishing line, but in a small range. However, the model is inexpensive, so this simplification is easy to explain. Of the shortcomings, a completely plastic construction stands out. No composites or aluminum. But the kit comes with 3 additional spools and one more handle.

An inexpensive reel rarely boasts a wealth of equipment, especially when it comes to the size of 5000 units according to Shimano classification. But there are exceptions, one of which is now before us. The main feature of the model is the presence of a baitrunner: a mechanism that automatically adjusts the degree of tension of the fishing line under high load. If you are hooked on a hardened pike that does not want to give up, it will be much easier to fish it out with such a device. In addition, the body of the product is composite, that is, it is very durable and reliable. Rubber seals protect the internal mechanisms, and smooth running is ensured immediately by 6 working bearings.

The best reel is not the one with a huge number of bearings, but the one where they really work. Like a model from the eminent Russian brand Volzhanka. There are 7 ball bearings and one roller bearing, and they all play an important role in the design. The reel has a very smooth ride. The winding is carried out without jerks, which allows you to flash cautious predators, such as pike perch or pike. The winding speed is also impressive: 5.1 to one. With a size of 5000, this is a very good value, besides, the coil is compact and weighs less than 400 grams. An excellent option for your money, albeit in a plastic case.

Fishing for spinning involves frequent casting and withdrawal of fishing line, especially if the desired trophy is pike or pike. Here it is very important that the coil is comfortable, and this is the main advantage of MIKADO Almaz 5004 FD. The manufacturer made a compact case by placing 5 working bearings in it at once. I carefully considered the size and location of the handle, and also changed the shape of the holder, making it in the form of a drop. Judging by the reviews on the network, the solution is very successful. We also note the shape of the clutch: it is front, but the petal is extended to a considerable distance, so even with gloves on you will not experience difficulties when working with it.

Fishing on a powerful spinning rod involves high loads, including on the reel. If a pike or other large trophy is caught on the hook, the tackle should cope with them. This model has a large power reserve, and is also equipped with a baitrunner that can independently adjust the degree of tension of the fishing line. You do not have to constantly play with the clutch or manually wind the thread. A smart mechanism will do it for you. The reel is very powerful and at 5000 units can be used with rigs thicker than the declared standards.That's just with balancing, the manufacturer has not finalized a bit. It is shifted to the front, so spinning for it should be chosen separately.

Riobi is a brand that adheres to classical production methods. He is known for producing solid metal coils, which most modern manufacturers have long moved away from. But by 2021, combined models appeared in his catalog, and judging by the reviews on the network, they clearly outperform their predecessors. Virtus 5000 is a reel with a graphite body and an aluminum spool. The company had to go to this to reduce the weight of the structure. Now the coil weighs 390 grams, which is a very good result for this size. Quality and reliability remain the same. Riobi coils are often called the best and rightly so.

Many fishermen probably have not even heard of this manufacturer, although in the USA it is one of the top ones and is famous for its ability to make universal reels suitable for almost all fishing methods. Here is a very high gear ratio for its size: 5.9 to one, which makes it possible to make smooth wiring at any speed, controlled by a worm gear and a powerful clutch. 7 ball bearings work to their full potential and make it easy to bring out large trophies. The reel can also be used when trolling from a boat, and the capacity of the spool contributes to this. Also note the high maintainability. Rare in this price range.

Fishing is an unpredictable thing. You never know who will be on the hook, a small perch or a seasoned pike. The best coil must withstand the most serious loads, that is, be reliable and of high quality. It is these factors that the Japanese company Daiva, Shimano's main competitor in the market, focuses on. You can completely rely on such gear. It will withstand a voltage much higher than stated. If you see any technical figures on the box, then know that Daiwa greatly underestimates them. In addition, there are 14 bearings at once, which ensures high smoothness, albeit not at very high speed.

Shimano is the best fishing company in the world.And this is not an empty advertising slogan, but a reputation gained over the years. The price of Shimano coils scares many, but it should be understood that this is an analogue of Maybach among cars. The product is not for everyone, but with the highest quality and reliability. To date, Shimano is the only company using magnesium alloy as the main material. This is an expensive, but at the same time lightweight and durable composite. It is difficult to damage it even with excessive loads. The coil weighs only 260 grams, which, with a size of 5000 units, is a record. Reliable seals are also installed here, protecting the inside of the gear from getting wet and dust.
