Big pit and surfcasting reels for long-distance fishing
Big pit reels and surfcasting reels are made for anglers who need line capacity, casting distance and power. They are used for long-range carp fishing, beach fishing and heavy saltwater sessions where standard reels are not enough.
Large spools, smooth line release and strong drag
A big pit reel has a large spool that releases line smoothly during the cast and holds plenty of line for distant spots. Surfcasting reels use a similar long-cast design, often with extra saltwater resistance for sand, salt and rough conditions.
For carp, beach and coastal fishing
Choose a big pit reel for distance carp fishing or boating rigs out. Choose a surfcasting reel when fishing from the beach with heavy leads, strong currents or surf conditions. A reliable drag and strong gearing are essential when fighting large fish at range.
