Sea Fishing Reels

Saltwater reels: power, durability and maximum casting distance

Saltwater fishing requires reels that can take a beating. Salt water, strong wind, sandy conditions and heavy fish – a regular fishing reel won’t cut it. That’s why saltwater reels are specially designed to withstand these tough conditions and deliver maximum performance.

Which saltwater reel suits your fishing?

There are different types of saltwater reels, depending on where and how you fish. Do you fish from the beach, from a pier or from a boat? And are you targeting flatfish, mullet, sea bass or even big game fish at sea? For every situation there is a suitable reel:

• Surfcasting reels / Big Pit reels: these models are ideal for beach anglers who want to cast far. Thanks to the long spool and high line capacity you can make long casts without line problems.

• Saltwater reels for lure fishing: for example for sea bass or mackerel with a spinning rod. Lightweight reels with saltwater-resistant parts and a smooth drag are ideal then.

• Boat fishing reels / Reels: powerful and robust, designed to land heavy fish from the boat. The straight line guide allows you to apply a lot of pressure, ideal for cod, halibut or even tuna.

Watch out for saltwater resistance

Salt is the biggest enemy of your fishing gear. That’s why saltwater reels are equipped with extra seals, rust-free bearings and waterproof drag systems. Still, good maintenance remains essential: rinse your reel after each session with lukewarm running water, dry it well and drop some oil on the moving parts. This significantly extends the lifespan.
