10 best saltwater electric reels

The Swedish brand Fladen is well known in the market and has also decided not to miss the marine reel segment. This is one of the few models in the manufacturer's catalog and to be honest, the market was not particularly impressed by it. Yes, the product is of high quality. It uses the most reliable materials and components. Durability is huge, but the rest of the parameters cannot be called unique. Everything is average, except for the price, which is very high for this segment. In general, we have a middle peasant, with a high-quality assembly, but unreasonably expensive. And the brand, apparently, is not going to transfer production to Asia in order to reduce the price tag.

Manufacturers of electric coils are constantly looking for better solutions. It is necessary to increase the winding speed, but at the same time remain within the limits of adequate weight and banal convenience. German engineers managed to get as close as possible to the ideal balance. In this model, two electric motors are installed at once, and they are so technologically advanced that the total weight is only 900 grams, and this is an excellent result. The use of the second engine made it possible to increase the winding speed to 240 meters, and the friction clutch power increased to 32 kilograms. True, maintainability has decreased, but this is a sore spot for all electronic devices, and coils are no exception.

Since sea fishing itself is not cheap, many are looking for a way to save money. As always, little-known Chinese brands come to the rescue, offering goods at the most reasonable price.Now we have the cheapest electric coil, discussions of which are often found on specialized forums. Yes, you don’t expect much from such a model initially, but judging by the user comments, this is quite a good option. At least, it fully corresponds to the declared parameters. Of course, it is not without flaws. In particular, it's poor build quality. Before use, it is better to tighten all bolts and nuts yourself. Oh, and clean it regularly.

Due to the great depths, sea fishing often becomes a long and dreary task. If you are not accustomed to waiting for a long time for the electric reel to wind a kilometer of line back onto the spool, you need a model with a maximum speed of work, like the one in front of us now. This is the fastest reel on the market today. Its winding speed is 230 meters per minute, while for one turn of the handle it absorbs almost a meter of cord, which is also a very good indicator. It is also necessary to note the large load on the friction clutch. Here it is 30 kilograms, which is about 40% more than models of this type. And at the same time, the coil weighs only 900 grams. In general, the best version for lovers of active fishing.

If you want your sea fishing experience to be as comfortable as possible, then here is the best reel that can provide it. The main feature of the model is its rich electronic filling. This is a real computer that not only shows certain parameters on the display, but also allows you to configure them. For example, you can set the desired depth to the nearest centimeter or adjust the jig winding. There can be a lot of stored modes, and if you use this coil in conjunction with an echo sounder, not a single fish will be left unattended. True, you have to put up with a rather slow winding speed. Only 120 meters per minute. But you don't have to worry about corrosion.

Walking through fishing forums where sea fishing is discussed, you suddenly come to the conclusion that the most popular manufacturer is far from Daiwa, and not even Shimano. The products of the German manufacturer WFT are of the greatest interest to fishermen. In terms of quality, this electric coil is not inferior to Japanese mastodons, but it costs 2 or even 3 times cheaper. She also outperforms them in terms of parameters. For example, here the winding speed is 200 meters per minute, and with a spool capacity of 400 meters, the model weighs only 700 grams. Excellent results, which are rarely found in competitors, while the coil costs less than 60 thousand, which is very rare for the same Shimano.

The first thing that catches your eye when looking at this reel is the weight. It is low, only 800 grams, and for such models it is very small. However, it is due to the capacity of the spool, but only partially. Yes, the 0.3 size line will fit only 250 meters into the reel, and the motor will wind it up in less than 2 minutes. Otherwise, it is a powerful tool with a friction force of 20 kilograms and a high gear ratio.And, of course, the traditionally high quality of Shimano, which has long been legendary among fishing enthusiasts. In fact, this is the best electric reel if you are going to fish in the coastal zone or at shallow depths and this spool capacity is enough for you. In addition, the price pleases, because. This is a model from the last collection.

Sea fishing is not a cheap pleasure, especially if you take equipment exclusively from top manufacturers. But there is always an opportunity to save money, for example, by choosing a reel from the young, but already in demand Korean brand Banax. Its products are praised for their quality and reliability. Now we have an electric reel with a spool capacity of 1200 meters and a winding speed of 160 meters per minute. Yes, nothing outstanding, many models can boast of such parameters, but this reel costs less than the one offered by Shimano or Daiva, and the quality is practically not inferior. That's just the battery here is external, which is not very convenient.

Daiwa is the main, and, in fact, the only competitor of Shimano on the market. The brand produces the highest quality coils, one of which is now in front of us. The design uses 22 bearings at once, all anodized and non-corrosive. Although this is not very necessary, since the case is completely sealed. The model is designed for fishing in the northern latitudes, as the name of the line clearly hints at. The electric coil perfectly tolerates low temperatures, and they do not even affect its electronics, which are many here. We also note the presence of two winding modes: fast and strong. You can switch between them at any time.

If you are one of those people who are not used to saving on their own hobby, then this electric coil is especially for you. The product of a top Japanese brand, which is practically out of competition in all areas. This is a real technological marvel that can be compared to a premium car. The coil is extremely durable and reliable. She will be able to pull out even the largest trophy and make fishing comfortable and convenient. No frivolous materials. Only graphite, composite and aviation aluminum. The same with electronics. In addition to a powerful motor and a high-capacity battery, there is a module for connecting to an echo sounder, which turns the multiplier into a full-fledged computer.
