Which spinning reel should you choose?

Rod balance

Choose a reel suited to your rod, meaning a reel that will balance the rod, but also allow you to cast the lures intended for the rod's power rating.

Spool diameter

For a spinning reel, the spool diameter is an important point — it must be in accordance with the size and position of the first guide on the rod. The larger the first guide, the larger the spool diameter must be. The further the first guide is from the reel seat, the larger the reel needs to be.

The gear ratio

Another important point is the retrieval ratio. A standard ratio is 75-80 cm of line retrieved per handle turn. You should therefore choose your reel's ratio according to the fishing techniques you wish to use. 

Choosing a quality spinning reel means maximizing your chances of success on the water. Whether you fish from the bank, a kayak or a boat, our models combine lightness, durability and precision for an optimal fishing experience. Make the right choice, gear up like a pro and turn every outing into a memorable session!
