Conventional Reels

Convection models are professional equipment designed for saltwater (ocean/sea). This type of angling is becoming more and more popular every year in the USA. In 2024, 57+ million fishermen from different states (from Florida to Alaska) have chosen it. The power and durability of conventional models will allow you to easily catch and pull trophy prey out of the water. From Marley to Shark.

    Conventional fishing reels: Precision Performance and Reliability

    Of all fishing reels, this type is considered to be the most powerful. Therefore, it is used primarily for deep-sea and offshore angling. These are heavy and durable models that can withstand maximum loads. Most often the body is made of aluminum, sometimes - graphite. But the second option is less durable. Internal mechanisms are often made of steel.

    To ensure maximum resistance, lever drag/star drag systems are used. Fishermen who hunt for big fish, if they need durability & accuracy, often choose the first option. However, the star drag system is more versatile and easy to use. Together with heavy baitcasting/trolling fishing rods, these reels give the best results.

      Benefits of our Conventional fishing reels

      Such a model will become a durable and useful part of your fishing equipment. Why anglers choose such reels:

      • Maximum strength & power. In terms of these characteristics, these models win out over the baitcasting/spinning models. They are suitable for easily retrieving even large and resistant fish from the ocean. Corrosion resistance is as high as possible;
      • The possibility of deep-sea angling and long-distance casts. These models have a high line capacity (the largest models can hold from 700 to 1,000 yards of 80-130 lb fishing line);
      • For fishing for the largest prey, 2-speed models are ideal. They allow you to switch between slow/fast reel speeds. The slow mode maximizes power, making it easy to pull heavy and large fish out of the water;
      • You don't have to worry about the line breaking. When pulling active fish out of the water, the likelihood of this happening is reduced in these models, all thanks to a customizable and powerful braking system. This is especially true if the lever option is provided, rather than star drag;
      • You can use a variety of heavy fish baits and lures. For example, trolling lures or weights up to 16 oz, or hard baits.

      Important information

      The Conventional reel is especially relevant for anglers who prefer deep sea/offshore fishing. They can be used for many styles, such as trolling & bottom fishing. But if you are looking for a lighter and more versatile model, Spinning Reels are more recommended.

      Also, such models will not be suitable at all for such a particular style as fly fishing. In this case, you should buy lightweight Fly Fishing Reels.
