Fishing, like any other hobby, knows no price limits. On the market you can find coils for 500 rubles, and models for 50 thousand will stand nearby.Of course, their quality and reliability will differ, but not every fisherman can afford tackle for that kind of money. If we talk about the middle segment, then this is 5000 rubles. This is not to say that such a coil is inexpensive. There are much cheaper, but this is where you will find famous brands. This is very important, because despite the fact that famous manufacturers wind up part of the price solely for their recognizable logo, they meticulously monitor quality and value their reputation.

It makes no sense for a Chinese "no-name" to keep its name. He simply does not have it, so marriage often passes, and sometimes outright hack work. With reels for 5000 rubles, this is already a rarity, so this segment is the most popular among fishermen. In addition, such a coil is purchased once for many seasons. It is unlikely to have to be changed after a couple of dozen exits to the water. They are maintainable: if a module fails, it can be easily replaced. There are also plenty of spare parts on the market.

In our rating, we will consider the best options, whose price tag does not exceed 5 thousand rubles. These will be classic non-inertial models, as well as inertial and even multipliers. The last one is the hardest. For them, this cost is very low, so you will not find the famous Shimano or Daiva here. The size and capacity of the spool will be appropriate - no more than 3000 units. But with inertial models, things are exactly the opposite. Such coils are very simple in design, so for 5000 rubles you can pick up a truly elite model made of graphite or composite, with a lot of bells and whistles and useful functions. At least as far as possible for the inertial version.

The best inertial coils up to 5000 rubles

As the name implies, such a coil has no inertia. That is, its spool does not rotate on its own, but reels the fishing line only as long as it is in the air. This is the most requested version. She is easy to deal with. It does not require serious skills. The design is quite simple and can be repaired if necessary. As for the price, 5 thousand rubles is the middle segment. To call such a coil cheap will not work. On the market there are many models of much more budget class. But here, elite models of past collections often come across. This is always the case with famous brands. As soon as a new line enters the catalog, the old one falls in price. However, the quality remains the same.

Top 4. Salmo Elite SPIN 7 4000FD

Rating (2022): 4.42
  • Average price: 3000 rubles.
  • Country: Poland
  • Spool capacity (size): 4000
  • Materials (body/spool): plastic/aluminum
  • Gear Ratio: 5.5:1
  • Number of bearings: 6
  • Weight (g): 312

Before us is the cheapest inertialess coil from Salmo. Yes, there is no error. The model costs 3 thousand rubles, but its size is as much as 4000 units according to Shimano classification. This is a very large, powerful reel capable of fighting big pikes and zanders. It has fast winding due to the high gear ratio and smooth running provided by 6 ball bearings. The Salmo company is famous for its ability to set attractive price tags. An inexpensive reel is the norm for them, but here they have outdone themselves. True, the housing is plastic, which is a serious disadvantage for a large coil. Apparently, this is the factor that allowed the brand to save on production.

Pros and cons
  • Big size
  • Lots of bearings
  • High gear ratio
  • Cork knob
  • Plastic body
  • Got a factory defect
  • Little copy protection

Top 3. Daiwa 20 Laguna LT 2500

Rating (2022): 4.59
Most popular model

Inertialess reel from a top Japanese manufacturer in the middle price segment. Reputation affects the popularity of the reel among fishermen.

  • Average price: 3,750 rubles.
  • Country: Japan
  • Spool capacity (size): 2500
  • Materials (body/spool): composite/composite
  • Gear ratio: 5.1:1
  • Number of bearings: 1
  • Weight (g): 253

The Japanese brand Daiwa is well known among fishermen. Any of their inertial-free coil becomes the market leader, but the prices often bite. But now we have before us the best inexpensive model by the standards of the manufacturer, released in the same way as more expensive options. It uses Light&Tough technology developed by Daiwa. It aims to lighten the build by using lighter materials as well as perforating the case. The coil is cheap, but only by the standards of the brand. With it, you can safely go out for a big pike or zander. Due to its features, it is suitable for most spinning fishing methods. Including jig.

Pros and cons
  • Lightweight body
  • Fully composite construction
  • Attractive price by brand standards
  • Powerful central gear
  • Not the most comfortable grip
  • Will not stand on any spinning

The best ratio of price and quality

The design of the coil uses many unique materials and coatings, while the price of the product remains quite affordable.

  • Average price: 3 260 rubles.
  • Country: Latvia
  • Spool capacity (size): 1500
  • Materials (body/spool): composite/brass-zinc-aluminum alloy
  • Gear ratio: 5.1:1
  • Number of bearings: 1
  • Weight (g): 245

The Latvian company Lucky John is new to the fishing reel market, but their products are already in demand among ordinary and professional fishermen. The company develops its own materials and coatings. In particular, a special alloy of brass, zinc and aluminum is used here. The spool of the coil is made of it, and on top it is coated with titanium nitrite. The spool is light and extremely durable. At the same time, it does not create excessive adhesion to the surface when winding the fishing line. The body is made of composite, a mixture of plastic and carbon fiber. Also high quality material, characterized by high strength. Even the knob is original, made from RUBBER CORK, the company's own material.

Pros and cons
  • Unique materials
  • Ergonomic handle
  • Suitable for all fishing methods
  • Rarely found in retail stores
  • Non-standard spool capacity

Top 1. RYOBI Ecusima 2000Vi

The most reliable coil

Graphite coil coated with titanium nitrite. The material protects the hull and internal parts, and makes it easier for the line to slide off, making casts more accurate.

  • Average price: 2,800 rubles.
  • Country: Japan
  • Spool capacity (size): 2000
  • Materials (body/spool): graphite/aluminum
  • Gear ratio: 5.1:1
  • Number of bearings: 4
  • Weight (g): 262

The Japanese company Ryobi, developing its inertial-free coils, first of all, seeks to increase the strength characteristics. Until recently, they produced exclusively all-metal products, but now they have switched to graphite and composite.These materials are not inferior in strength, but much lighter. Specifically, titanium was also used in this model, though in the form of spraying. It is used on the spool, or rather its front side, and the bracket. The surface is very slippery and the line spools with minimal friction, making casts faster and more accurate. It is also worth mentioning the seals that protect the inside of the product. When exposed to water, the bearings will remain dry.

Pros and cons
  • Titanium coating
  • High strength
  • Winding line with minimal friction
  • Comes with a spare spool
  • Low maintainability
  • Difficult to change handle position

The best inertial coils for 5000 rubles

Inertial reels are most often used in ice fishing. There is no need to make long casts and control the flight of the bait. Namely, this is the most difficult task for such models. The design of the inertial coil is extremely simple. It's hard to fit any original features here, so the $5,000 price tag is very high. Here you will find very high quality, durable models made of reliable materials. Pleased with the design. In this segment, manufacturers are already trying to pay more attention to it.

Possibility of rearrangement of handles

Coil with the ability to change the position of the knobs on the body. It can be both under the right and under the left hand. A rare occurrence among inertial models.

  • Average price: 4,400 rubles.
  • Country Russia
  • Materials (body/spool): aluminium/aluminum
  • Diameter (mm): 87
  • Number of bearings: 3

Even the best inertial coil has an important drawback - the inability to change the position of the handle. It is either left sided or right sided. But there are exceptions, one of which is now before us. Here it is possible to change the knobs by rearranging them to the other side, and this is the main advantage of this model. This is not to say that the coil is inexpensive, especially given the small diameter of 87 millimeters, but it is completely made of aluminum. No corrosion of the coil is not terrible, and the coating will not be erased over time. We also note the presence of a third bearing, which is rare in inertial models. It is auxiliary and is designed to facilitate winding.

Pros and cons
  • Three working bearings
  • Repositionable knobs
  • Full aluminum construction
  • Big weight
  • small overall diameter
  • Will not stand on any spinning

Reinforced construction

The coil withstands high loads and is not afraid of bumps, falls and even drowning.

  • Average price: 4,200 rubles.
  • Country Russia
  • Materials (body/spool): composite/composite
  • Diameter (mm): 114
  • Number of bearings: 2

At first glance, this coil is not clear where such a price. Almost 5000 rubles. Not the cheapest version, especially for the inertial segment. The secret is in the use of very durable materials. This is a composite, the composition of which the manufacturer does not disclose. It remains to draw conclusions from the reviews. Fortunately, there are a lot of them. Judging by them, the coil is not at all afraid of negative influences. It easily copes with blows to the body and falls from a height. Bearings with a special coating do not rust, which is very important, since there is no protection on them.But with the location of the knobs, that is, the handles for rotating the spool, the manufacturer for some reason miscalculated. They are located very close to the center, which makes winding inconvenient.

Pros and cons
  • Coated bearings
  • High body strength
  • Good option for fishing
  • Poor placement of knobs
  • No auxiliary mechanisms

The best inertial coil

Powerful reel designed for the largest trophies and high loads. Made from composite using the brand's special technology.

  • Average price: 4,750 rubles.
  • Country: Sweden
  • Materials (body/spool): composite/aluminum
  • Diameter (mm): 108
  • Number of bearings: 2

It is believed that the inertial coil is only suitable for winter. But this model refutes this idea, which automatically makes it the best of its kind. With it, summer fishing is also available, including for fairly large trophies. Despite the apparent simplicity of design, this is a very complex mechanism with many hidden details. There is even a clutch that works automatically. We can say that this is a kind of baitrunner, although with some features. The coil is made of a durable composite that is not afraid of shocks and does not crack. The price is quite high, almost 5000 rubles, but for this brand this is the norm. The Swedes know what high quality is, even when it comes to fishing reels.

Pros and cons
  • high power
  • Unique design
  • Lots of auxiliaries
  • Suitable also for summer fishing
  • High price
  • Short Knobs

The best multiplier reels for 5000 rubles

Multiplier reels are the most expensive. For them, the price of 5 thousand is very low. Such an inexpensive coil will not be able to boast a bunch of bells and whistles and high power. But this is an ideal option to try your hand. The fact is that fishing with a multiplier is very different from fishing with the usual inertialess. The reel takes some getting used to, and many anglers give up after the first experiment. Of course, you can take the most budget version, but then you will not be able to form the correct opinion about the coil because of its initially poor quality. That is why this segment is the most interesting for those who decide to get acquainted with a new fishing method.

Best price

The cheapest multiplier reel, costing almost 20% less than its nearest competitor.

  • Average price: 3,000 rubles.
  • Country: Japan
  • Spool capacity (size): 3000
  • Materials (body/spool): aluminium/aluminum
  • Gear Ratio: 5.3:1
  • Number of bearings: 2
  • Weight (g): 315

It is not often that top brands delight their fans with affordable prices. But now we have a cheap multiplier reel, and it was released by the Japanese brand KOSADAKA, which is often put on a par with such mastodons as Shimano and Daiwa. The secret of the low price is that the model is already considered obsolete. The catalog has been updated and the price of previous versions has dropped. But it is worth noting that the novelties of 2021 differ little from this model. The same characteristics, the same materials, and even the appearance has not changed much. A great way to save money on fishing gear.

Pros and cons
  • Inexpensive coil
  • Fits on any spinning rod
  • Comfortable grip
  • Pretty heavy model
  • The handle does not change
  • Only 2 working bearings

Fast winding

The gear ratio of the coil is 6.2 to one. This is the fastest model with adjustable speed.

  • Average price: 4,300 rubles.
  • Country: Sweden
  • Spool capacity (size): 2000
  • Materials (body/spool): composite/aluminum
  • Gear ratio: 6.2:1
  • Number of bearings: 2
  • Weight (g): 225

Fishing for spinning can be very diverse. There are methods of fishing when high speed is needed, and there are those where power and smoothness are valued. This multiplier reel allows you to use them all. It is adjustable, and in a very wide range. The maximum speed of rotation of the spool is more than 6 revolutions per turn of the handle. The minimum, respectively, is 1 to 1. The regulator is conveniently located under the thumb. If a hardened pike accidentally caught on your hook, and you did not initially count on it, the reel can be quickly switched to the required mode. Quality and reliability are also top notch. Abu Garcia is one of the best manufacturers on the market today.

Pros and cons
  • Thoughtful ergonomics
  • Large range of speed adjustment
  • High gear ratio
  • Reinforced handle
  • Relatively large weight
  • Few bearings
  • Poor ride

The lightest reel

A multiplier with a size of 1000 units, weighing only 90 grams, which is almost half that of the nearest competitor.

  • Average price: 4,600 rubles.
  • Country: Japan
  • Spool capacity (size): 1000
  • Materials (body/spool): magnesium alloy/aluminum
  • Gear Ratio: 4.3:1
  • Number of bearings: 6
  • Weight (g): 90

Before us is an inexpensive multiplier reel from the best Japanese manufacturer Shimano. It is worth noting that such a price tag for a brand is a rarity, especially when it comes to such a complex device as a multiplier. Despite its small size, the tackle will easily bring a hardened pike or zander to the shore. The recommended strength of the line is 8 Lb and it will fit 75 meters. But no one forbids putting a stronger thread, including wicker. But the main advantage is not that the coil is cheap. It is also as light as possible, only 90 grams. This is made possible by the use of magnesium alloy. Know-how from Shimano, which is not yet used by any other manufacturer.

Pros and cons
  • A light weight
  • Withstands heavy loads
  • Manufacturer's Warranty
  • Relatively low price
  • small gear ratio
  • Unattractive design
