Fishing Reels at Bait & Tackle UK

Whether you're just starting out or a seasoned angler, having the right reel makes all the difference. At Bait & Tackle UK, we stock a wide range of fishing reels to suit every style of fishing — from coarse and match to specimen and feeder fishing.

Types of Fishing Reels

• Fixed Spool Reels — The most popular choice for coarse and match anglers. Easy to use and versatile across a range of techniques.
• Baitrunner Reels — Ideal for carp and specimen fishing, allowing fish to take line freely before you strike.
• Feeder Reels — Designed for feeder and method fishing, with a smooth drag and high line capacity.
• Closed Face Reels — Great for float fishing and waggler work, offering tangle-free casting.

What to Look For in a Fishing Reel

When choosing a reel, consider the following:

• Size — Match the reel size to your rod and target species.
• Gear Ratio — A higher gear ratio retrieves line faster, useful for lure fishing or long-distance casting.
• Bearings — More bearings generally means a smoother retrieve.
• Drag System — A reliable front or rear drag is essential for playing larger fish.
