Front Unloading Spinning Wheel Reel with 13 Bearings and 5.5:1 Gear Ratio in 1000 to 7000 Series

This front unloading spinning wheel reel is designed for anglers who need reliable, smooth operation when fishing in freshwater or saltwater conditions. The 13 bearing system ensures consistent performance across all sizes from the compact 1000 series to the heavy-duty 7000 series. With a 5.5:1 gear ratio, you get a balanced retrieve speed suitable for lures and bait alike. The handle is interchangeable between left and right hand, making it a versatile choice for any angler. Available with or without a line winder on select series, this reel covers everything from light trout fishing to beach casting.

Features and Construction

Built for durability and smooth function, this spinning reel uses a front unloading spool design that reduces line twist during casting and retrieval. The bearing count of 13 provides low-friction movement even under heavy load.

13 Bearing System

The 13 bearings are positioned throughout the drive train and spool assembly to minimise friction and maintain smooth rotation. This is especially beneficial during long retrieves or when fighting larger fish.

Front Unloading Spool

The front unloading mechanism allows the spool to be removed from the front of the reel body, making line changes quick and straightforward. This design also helps reduce line memory and twist compared to rear unloading models.

Interchangeable Handle

The handle can be switched from left to right hand retrieve without tools, suiting both right-handed and left-handed casters. This flexibility means a single reel can be shared between users with different preferences.

Sizes and Options

The reel is available in ten configurations covering series 1000 through 7000, with some sizes offered with an integrated line winder. This range lets you match the reel to your target species and fishing method.

Series 1000 to 3000

Smaller series are ideal for light freshwater fishing, such as trout or panfish. The 1000, 2000, and 3000 series offer compact bodies and lighter weight for all-day casting comfort.

Series 4000 to 5000

Mid-range options suit general freshwater and light saltwater use, such as pike, perch, or bass fishing. The 4000 and 5000 series provide a good balance of line capacity and casting distance.

Series 6000 to 7000

Larger series are designed for heavy saltwater fishing, surf casting, or targeting larger species like carp and cod. The 6000 and 7000 series offer increased line capacity and stronger drag systems.

Performance and Gear Ratio

The 5.5:1 gear ratio is a medium-speed retrieve that works well for both crankbaits and live bait presentations. This ratio gives you enough torque to handle big fish while still offering fast line recovery for covering water.

Retrieve Efficiency

With each turn of the handle, the spool rotates 5.5 times, collecting line steadily without excessive speed that can cause backlash or missed strikes. This makes it a good all-round choice for most fishing styles.

Smooth Drag Performance

The multi-disc drag system is built to apply consistent pressure across the spool, helping you tire fish without sudden jerks that could break the line. While exact drag rating is not specified, the design supports reliable performance for the reel size class.
