The characteristics of a good spinning reel for catfish

Don't underestimate the strength of a catfish. In other words, don't skimp on the quality and strength of your reel if you need to fish for catfish. A good spinning reel for catfish fishing has characteristics similar to those of reels for big game fishing.

They are very strong reels made from high-quality, lightweight materials. They have a powerful drag capable of restraining the largest specimens without jamming or breaking. What's more, to ensure a good grip, they come with a round handle, often of considerable size, so that you can put all your strength into it in the greatest comfort.

The ideal reel for float fishing for catfish

Spinning reels are most often used for float or breaker fishing for catfish. Their high ratio of retrieve per crank revolution (RPM) of around 100 cm and more means the line can be retrieved quickly in the event of a cast.

What's more, spinning reels allow you to reach greater casting distances. They are ideal for catfish fishing from the shore.

Available in large sizes, you'll be able to use them on the biggest fish in the Rhône, Seine or Loire rivers, as well as for exotic sea or freshwater fishing.
