FAQs about our electric reels

How are electric reels different from other types of reels? Electric reels are different from traditional reels due to their electric motor. This motor provides power to reel in the line automatically, reducing the physical effort required from the angler. Other reels, such as spinning reels, baitcaster reels and overhead reels, rely solely on manual operation to retrieve the line.

• Spinning reels — These reels have a fixed spool and are mounted beneath the rod. They are versatile and easy to use, making them popular for a wide range of fishing activities.

• Baitcaster reels — These reels offer precision and control, ideal for casting lures accurately. They are mounted on top of the rod and are preferred by experienced anglers for certain types of fishing.

• Overhead reels — Also known as conventional reels, overhead reels are typically used for deep-sea and big game fishing. They are mounted on top of the rod and offer great line capacity and powerful drag systems. Overhead reels are favoured for their strength and ability to handle heavy lines and large fish, making them ideal for serious anglers tackling challenging fishing conditions

When is it better to use an electric reel? Electric reels are ideal for situations where manual reeling would be too physically demanding or time-consuming. This includes:

• Deep-sea fishing — When fishing in depths over 100 meters, the effort required to manually retrieve the line can be substantial.

• Targeting large species — For large, powerful fish, the additional power provided by an electric reel can be advantageous.

• Extended fishing trips — For long fishing sessions, an electric reel can help reduce fatigue, allowing anglers to fish longer without tiring.

• More recently, there has been a big spike in popularity in electric combos for anglers looking to secure their catch and speedily retrieve it back to the boat before sharks have a chance to tax it.

A manual reel is often more practical in shallower waters. For smaller fish or when using lighter tackle, a traditional reel can also offer a better feel and more control.
