10 best budget spinning reels under 1000 rubles

If you are looking for the cheapest spinning reel, this is the one for you. Its price is only 500 rubles, which is an impressive result even by the standards of little-known Chinese manufacturers. This is a great way for a beginner to try their hand at fishing. The reel will easily fit on the ultralight spinning and pull a small trophy ashore. Of course, you should not expect much from such a product. The clutch is rather weak, initially not designed for heavy loads. The baitrunner, of course, is missing, as is the anti-reverse. But ergonomics at a high level. True, it is not original and is used on some Daiwa models, but these are the problems of manufacturers, not ordinary fishermen.

The Polish company Salmo is most often found in the budget price segment. At the same time, their products are very popular with customers. The coil is quite powerful, with a reliable mechanism. The worm gear is brass and the bearings have a special coating that protects them from corrosion. An important aspect, since there are no seals to isolate leaks. The body of the product is made of carbon fiber. To be frank, the material is dubious. In fact, this is the same plastic, but with additives in the composition. In terms of characteristics, it differs little, but as an advertising product it looks solid. With the design of the coil, they also did not bother. Still, the budget segment and there is no time for visual excesses.

Jaxon Piano is not the most popular brand in the fishing market. Therefore, he cannot afford to inflate the price tag solely for the logo and name. Before us is an inexpensive inertial-free reel equipped with functionality that is rarely found in this segment. For example, there is a baitrunner here, or rather, its likeness, which performs the same function. The mechanism is able to determine the degree of tension of the fishing line and loosen it at the right time. The system is activated by unscrewing the rear clutch to the limit position. Not very convenient, and this is the main difference from the classic baitrunner, which is turned on by clicking a flag. Also note the graphite spool and a spare module made of aluminum. This is the best set for your money.

Before us is a budget inertial-free coil made of graphite. And these are not random inserts, but the entire body. A rare occurrence for this price segment, however, the Russian company Rubicon is able to combine attractive prices with high quality. The size of the model is 3000 units according to Shimano classification, that is, the reel is quite large and is designed for medium-sized trophies.The clutch is quite powerful and has a large, comfortable petal for adjusting the tension. This, of course, is not a baitrunner, but it also makes it much easier to bring large fish to the shore. The only drawback is the low gear ratio, only 4.9 turns per crank rotation.

In the modern world, metal has ceased to be the most durable material. There are composites that are much stronger, but at the same time lighter and not afraid of corrosion.But they are expensive, and if you need a cheap inertial coil, but at the same time as strong as possible, then it will be just metal. In this case, the body is made of alloy steel with several layers of protective coating. The steel is galvanized, so you can not be afraid that the protection will be erased over time. And the spool is aluminum. The product is powerful, capable of bringing a medium-sized trophy ashore. True, it will be inconvenient to do this, since the handles are located too close to the center, which reduces the already low gear ratio.

If you use ultralight spinning, then such a parameter as the weight of the reel is very important to you. The inertial model already weighs a little, but this manufacturer has set a kind of record. With a diameter of just under 100 millimeters, the product weighs only 75 grams. This was made possible thanks to the complex pattern on the case. It is thoughtful, that is, it works not only to facilitate, but also to increase strength. True, the entire coil is completely plastic. Including the spool. This is already a minus, since the strength is not the highest, and if a medium-sized trophy hits the hook, the reel simply cannot cope with them.

The Namazu Eagle is a budget inertia reel that boasts a mechanism rarely found in this segment. There is a line stopper here. It is made in the form of a lever, conveniently located near the point of attachment to the spinning rod. With it, the reel can be used not only for winter, but also for summer fishing. For example, when installed on an ultralight assembly. The product weighs only 58 grams, so it will not make the rod heavier. There is also a winding speed control, a very rare occurrence for inertial models. True, due to the design features, the speed can only be reduced, but cannot be increased.

A multiplier reel can also be used for winter fishing, but for this it needs a number of features. In particular, a body that is not afraid of the cold. In this model, it is made of graphite. The material not only does not crack in the cold, but is also very durable in itself. This is the best version for fishing from the hole. It is easy to manage with her. There is an anti-reverse mechanism and a winding speed regulator. The mount allows you to put the reel on both short winter rods and ultralight spinning rods, which makes GRFISH Ice Pro a truly universal model, at the same time inexpensive and compact.

There is such a thing as mini trolling. This is a fishing method in which a small fish becomes a coveted trophy, and it must be caught from a moving boat. The occupation is doubtful, but there are even special coils for it. Like the one in front of us now. In fact, this is an ordinary inexpensive multiplier reel with a spool capacity of 1000 units and a gear ratio of 3.6 to 1. The winding speed is very low. Relevant for trolling. It can be adjusted with a special lever on the side. In fact, the coil is copied from the Mikado Mini Troll, but since the brand is not so famous, the price is more budgetary.

The Mikado brand is rarely found in the budget segments, and in this case, he released a full-fledged multiplier reel, and even designed for trolling. True, trolling is peculiar, as the manufacturer himself calls it - “mini”.This means that only small trophies will have to be caught, which in principle negates the need to use this method of fishing. It is much easier to put the reel on an ultralight spinning rod and fish using the usual methods. This multiplier reel is best for those who are just getting started with this type of rig. A way to try your hand without spending significant money on it. By the way, after purchase it is recommended to tighten all fasteners.
