Free spool reels originally come from sea angling, but are also becoming increasingly popular in non-predatory fishing. Free-running reels are extremely practical for bottom fishing, as they enable a quick stop and a good start to the fight without the hassle of having to set the drag beforehand. The seconds it takes to set the drag can, of course, cost valuable fish as well as time. Free spool reels are fixed spool reels that have a switchable spool free spool. This allows the fish to pull the line off the reel and only feel slight resistance. Discover the best offers from well-known brands such as Shimano and Spro on Tackle-Deals now!
With a free spool reel, you can switch between free spool mode and active drag using a simple lever. This is not only very convenient on the water, but also very effective, as the fish can first pull the line unhindered. It is then hooked by simply switching the lever.
Of course, it is important that the free spool is very finely adjustable and can therefore be adapted to the appropriate target fish. You should also adjust the free spool reel to the body of water you are fishing. On a river or the open sea, for example, you should work with a harder freewheel so that the current does not carry the bait away.
The advantages of a free spool reel at a glance:
With a free spool reel, you can easily place your fishing rod in a rod pod. The free spool reel prevents a larger fish from dragging your expensive equipment into the water. If a fish then bites, you will notice it because the reel releases line. Alternatively, you can also be alerted to the bite by using a bite indicator. It is often enough to move the brake lever. In most cases, it is then no longer necessary to apply pressure to the fishing rod. With the brake set, you can then easily land the fish as usual.
