Coarse fishing reels: light, smooth and perfectly tuned to your fishing
A good coarse fishing reel is light, reliable and runs smoothly. Whether you fish with a float, are feeder fishing or fishing with a centerpin on flowing water: with the right reel you make the difference between just fishing and truly enjoying. At De Goeie Vangst we have the perfect reel for every coarse angler.
The right reel for coarse fishing
Coarse fishing reels are usually smaller models with a finely tuned drag. They are often combined with light rods for a perfectly balanced setup. Common reel sizes for coarse fishing are 1000 to 3000. This gives you enough line capacity and precision, without compromising the feel with the fish. The choice for a front drag or rear drag depends on your fishing style:
Centerpin reels: pure and classic fishing
For lovers of traditional coarse fishing, the centerpin reel is a special choice. These reels spin without gearing and let the line roll freely off the spool, ideal for ‘trotting’ on flowing water. You operate the drag with your hand, giving you unparalleled control and experience during the fight. This technique requires some practice, but is one of the most direct and sporty ways of coarse fishing.
Match reels and other specializations
For match fishing, reels are used with a higher retrieve speed and an extra fighting drag. These reels are specially designed for fast and active fishing with a float at distance. Pay attention to the weight and balance with your rod when choosing. A light reel makes the difference if you have to cast and fight a lot.
