How to choose a fishing reel

Three things decide which reel is right for you — its size, gear ratio and drag. Match these to your target fish and rod, then pick the reel type that suits your fishing.

Reel size
Reel sizes run from 1000 up to 20000. Choose 1000–3000 for light freshwater and lure fishing, 4000–6000 as an all-rounder and for light saltwater, and 8000 or above for big saltwater species.

Gear ratio
Gear ratio is how much line you retrieve per turn of the handle. A high ratio (6.0:1 or more) gives a fast retrieve for lure fishing, while a lower ratio (around 5.0:1) gives more cranking power for bigger fish.

Drag
Drag is the reel's stopping power, measured in kilograms. The bigger and harder-fighting your target fish, the more maximum drag you'll want.

Reel types we stock 

  • Spinning reels — the most versatile and beginner-friendly type, for all-round freshwater and saltwater fishing. Sizes 1000–20000.
  • Baitcasting reels — for accuracy and power with heavier lures and bigger fish like bass and snakehead.
  • Baitfeeder reels — for bait fishing for carp and catfish, with a free-spool feature that lets fish take line before you strike.

Frequently asked questions

What size fishing reel do I need?

Reel sizes run from 1000 to 20000. Choose a 1000–3000 for light freshwater and lure fishing, a 4000–6000 for all-round use and light saltwater, and an 8000 or larger for big saltwater species. Always match the reel size to your rod and target fish.

Spinning or baitcasting reel — which should I choose?

Spinning reels are easier to learn and suit most freshwater and saltwater fishing, which is why they're the most popular choice. Baitcasting reels give more casting accuracy and power for heavier lures and bigger fish like bass and snakehead, but take a little practice to master.

What gear ratio is best for a fishing reel?

It depends on your style. A high gear ratio (6.0:1 or more) retrieves line quickly and suits lure fishing, while a lower ratio (around 5.0:1) gives more power for cranking in bigger fish. A medium ratio is a great all-rounder.
