Buying a spinning reel?

Spinning reels are used by both professionals and beginners, but are often a suitable entry-level model to the world of fishing as they are relatively easy to use.

Unlike a baitcasting reel, a spinning reel has a bail whose function is to wind the line onto the spool when retrieving.

A spinning reel is always mounted hanging under the rod. The smallest spinning reels are denoted with lower numbers and the larger ones have a higher number. For example, an Abu Garcia Pro Max 20 is smaller and suitable for perch fishing, while Abu Garcia Pro Max 40 is larger and better suited for pike fishing.

Most have a front drag - that is, a front-mounted adjustment for the drag, but some models have it at the back. We have a spinning reel for every angler and for all types of fishing situations. Feel free to ask us for tips.
