Overhead Fishing Reels - Australia

Overhead reels are a popular choice among anglers seeking power and versatility and as the name suggests, are used on the top of the rod, unlike a spinning reel which hangs below the rod. This is an important factor as it will also dictate what style of rod you choose to match it to.Overhead fishing reels are designed for heavy-duty applications and excel in saltwater fishing, big game fishing, jigging and trolling. With their robust construction and high line capacity, overhead reels can handle larger fish species and withstand the rigours of offshore angling. They offer excellent control and leverage, allowing for precise bait presentation and efficient line retrieval. Overhead reels often feature advanced drag systems for smooth and reliable performance during intense fights. They are often used by game fishing enthusiasts for species like Kingfish, Tuna and Marlin.
