How to choose a spinner for spinning

The correct choice of the spinning coil depends on how convenient and effective the fishing tackle will be, whether it will be easy to handle. After all, fishing is first and foremost a pleasure from the process, and when there are always some problems with the gear, this pleasure can turn into a complete annoyance. To prevent this from happening, it is important from the very beginning to seriously study the question of what a spinning coil should be and purchase exactly what will serve you faithfully for more than one year.

The best spinning coil manufacturers - Which company to choose

If to say briefly, it is worth paying attention to the products of companies that have proven themselves in the fishing tackle market. As a rule, these are Japanese and English firms, but there are good models and come from Taiwan and Korea.

Among the best manufacturers of spinning coils are:

1. Shimano

2. Daiwa

3. Ryobi

4. Kosadaka

5. Abu Garcia

6. Banax

Principle of operation and the device of spools for spinning

It is impossible to select the right thing without knowing exactly what you need it for and what functions it should perform. So first we'll figure out what the spinning coil is for and how it works.

Spinning reel provides an easy and quick casting of the bait at the right distance, smooth running of the line. Also, it allows you to keep even a large fish on the hook, since you can control the speed of winding the line.

The main working components of the device:

• The spool on which the fishing line is wound.
• Wood scraper, which controls the correct winding.
• Roller.
• Brake with switch, fixing line.
• Transmission mechanism.
• Handle for fishing.

This is a simplified description of the coil, for a general idea of ​​what functions it performs, for those who did not previously deal with spinning at all. Well, experienced fishermen do not need to explain anything, they already perfectly know how the coil works.

Varieties of spinning coils

According to the principle of operation, all spinning coils are divided into three types:

• Non-inertial;
• Multiplicative;
• Inertia.

Inertial

Inertia models were popular until they came up with nothing better. Coils of this type are used today mainly in jigs, where the need to control the line with your fingers is an advantage, not a disadvantage. Advantages:

• The big drum allows to use a very long line;
• Simple and intuitive coil mechanism;
• High sensitivity gear, which allows you to catch in time the moment of swallowing the bait and instantly cut the fish;
• Low price.

Disadvantages:

• Rotation of the roller by inertia continues even after the fishing line with the bait is abandoned in the right place;
• Very often the line slips and gets tangled around the drum.

Non-inertial

Non-inertial models are more convenient and functional than inertial ones. Spinning with an inertial-free coil can be used in any kind of fishing.

Pluses:

• The line does not unwind more than necessary;
• Suitable for different types of fishing, both with thin and thick fishing lines, with miniature baits and larger ones;
• Ability to cast a fishing line over a long distance;
• Availability of replaceable bobbins and easy replacement;
• High winding speed;
• Adjustable brake;
• The handle can be mounted to the right or left of the drum;
• Smooth running.

Disadvantages:

• It is necessary to learn how to properly reel the line so that there is no resetting of the loops.
• Quite a complex mechanism, which must be regularly lubricated and cleaned to work flawlessly.
• Traction effort is limited, as are the capabilities of the brake.

Multiplier

The multiplier is suitable for different methods of fishing: from shore or boat, to casting, to plumbing or trolling. Indispensable for sea fishing. Multiplier coils are the most powerful, perfect for catching large predatory fish. In fact, these are improved inertial mechanisms.

Advantages:

• Withstand the weight of even very large fish( up to 60 kg);
• Suitable for fishing for heavy lures;
• The casting range does not depend on the thickness of the line;
• High sensitivity of tackle;
• Durability and long warranty period from manufacturers.

Disadvantages:

• Significant weight;
• The need for constant and thorough care of the mechanism, fine tuning;
• It takes time to master the work with the coil;
• High cost.

Selection parameters for the spinning coil

When selecting a spinning coil, you need to pay attention to the following criteria:

1. For what method of fishing do you need this spinning;

2. What bait are you going to use;Under what conditions will fish be caught?

3. .

Having defined these moments, you can make a preliminary decision, what exactly do you need and what type of coils to look at.

inertia-free coil selection parameters When choosing the inertia-free coil model, the following characteristics should be noted:

• The size of the coil. It directly affects the weight and dimensions of the tackle. It is indicated in the digital sense. The size of 1000-2500 is suitable for small baits and small fish. Size 3000-5000 is used for larger fish. Even larger sizes are used mainly in sea fishing.
• Weight of the coil. It depends on both the size and the material. The best coils are light, but sturdy, as they are made of titanium and light alloys of aluminum.
• Number of bearings. On it depends how smooth and smooth the drum will be, the longevity of the rubbing parts, the absence of play. Bearings should be present on the axis of the drum and in the roller of the forest depositor.
• Friction brake. It helps to gently cut the fishing line, dumping fish. As a result, you can successfully pull even a large fish on a thin line.
• The mechanism of laying the line. It can be of two types: with a worm gear and a connecting rod. If the mechanism is made qualitatively, then there is not much difference between them. More important is the method of winding the line. Rectilinear gives an opportunity to increase the forest capacity, but increases the risk of entanglement of the rings. Crosswise excludes this possibility, but the lines can be reeled a little less.
• The gear ratio. It shows how many rings the fishing line is wound up, until the handle makes a full turn. Power coils have a gear ratio of 1: 4.0 - 1: 4.7, suitable for catching large predatory fish. Universal - 1: 5.0 - 1: 5.5.High-speed - 1: 6.0 - 1: 7.2, for the ultralight.
• Material of manufacturing of basic elements and units. It should provide strength and durability to the mechanism, while not making it heavier. For the case, one of the best materials is titanium, for a bobbin - an alloy of aluminum, for gears - a bronze alloy. For other parts - stainless steel and high-quality polymers.

multiplier selection parameters If you decide to purchase a multiplier, it will be useful to pay attention to its class:

• 500 - a miniature coil up to 170 g in weight, suitable for the lightest spinning.
• 1000-15000 - for an easy rod.
• 2000 - the universal purpose.
• 3000-4000 - for thick rods and feeder.
• 4500 - for catching particularly large fish.

Low-profile coils ensure accurate bait feeding. They have a forest finder with a small inertia of the spool, which will ensure smooth reeling of the line without sleeping rings.

For catching light baits, it is best to choose models with a magnetic brake. For large fish, a more powerful multiplier with a thick line is needed. The recommended thickness of the line can be found from the instructions to the specific product.

For trolling, a coil with a meter is very useful. It will help to know exactly the casting distance.

Which spool for spinning to choose

If the spinning is already acquired, then when buying a coil you need to build on its characteristics. Together they have to make a harmonious and balanced fishing tackle that will effectively fulfill its mission and do not tire your hands.

Note the marking of the rod. It should have the letters S.W.or the word test, and then the numerical values. They denote the spinning test, that is, the weight of the bait on which the rod is designed.

Which coil to choose, depending on what is indicated on the spinning test:

• 10-12 g and smaller - the coil is suitable up to 2000. This is enough for catching small fish: perch, chub, etc. for easy bait.
• 10-30 g. - coil of the size of 2000-3500.Suitable for jig, twitching, catching wobblers and wobbles.
• More than 30 grams - a coil of 4000-5000.Used for heavy fishing, catching very large fish.

What else to look for before buying:

1. The handle must not have a backlash.

2. There should be no transverse clearance of the spool.

3. The winding of the line must be uniform, smooth.

4. There should not be a spontaneous locking of the wood depositor.

5. No vibration of the coil with its rapid rotation.

6. Clear operation of the friction brake and freewheel switch.

If possible, collect the spinning and reel right in the store. Tackle should be comfortable and well balanced. If the center of gravity is in the arm area, it will not get tired while fishing.

The cost of spindles for spinning

This is not the most important parameter of choice, however significant. Usually it directly depends on the brand, the quality of the product and its size.

1. The most affordable ones are small inertia-free coils for easy bait and small fish catching. They can be purchased at a price of up to 2000 rubles. In this category, you can pay attention to the models Daiwa SWEEPFIRE, Salmo Supreme MICRO.

2. In the price category up to 3000 rubles you can find good models for almost all manufacturers. For example, Ryobi Tresor. Its feature is instantaneous operation of the reverse brake, which makes it an excellent choice for fishing with jerky harness.

3. Models of Shimano Catana and SALMO Elite X-Twitch are characterized by convenience, durability and efficiency. This is a universal coil, for different ways of catching small and medium fish.

4. In the range of 4000-6000 rubles are coils with an ideal ratio of price / quality. This is popular among fishermen Shiman Elf, Shimano Exage FB, Ryobi Excia MX, Daiwa Rewros MX, RYOBI Arctica CF 2000, Ryobi Slam. These are reliable models, time-tested, universal purpose.

5. From the price of 7000 rubles, the coils of special strength begin, for large predatory fish. This model: Bamax GT Extreme - 3000, Daiwa TD Sol, Shimano Twin Power and others.

When buying a reel, pay attention not only to its price and brand, but also to the main characteristics, material of manufacture and how much it corresponds to your favorite way of fishing. Then you will not be mistaken with the choice and fishing will bring you even more fun.
