Front drag reels, the most popular for lure fishing

Pike fishing with lures is one of the most widespread fishing techniques. Fewer and fewer anglers fish for pike using livebaits, for practical and ethical reasons. This craze for lure fishing has led to the development of front drag reels.

This type of reel is more compact than its counterpart, the rear drag reel. The latter is more commonly used for landing fishing. It allows easy adjustment of the drag without having to lift the rod and move the rig.

For lure fishing, front drag reels are often lighter and better suited to lure rods.

Reels designed for pike fishing

Although these reels were first developed for trout fishing, more and more are now available for pike. More and more spinning reel with front brakes for pike fishing. Brands have developed reels with brakes to match the strength and size of pike.

So, even when using large lures to catch the biggest pike, front drag reels will be able to cope with the power of the predator. The ratios are also adapted to the use of large lures, some of which need to be reeled in slowly.
