Fishing Reels FAQs

How do you know what size fishing reel to buy?

There are many sizes and styles to choose from, so the first step in knowing what fishing reel to buy is to know what type of fishing you plan to do. If you're headed out off the coast to battle a giant trevally in the deep, the reel you need will be different compared to if you plan to go to the local river and through to snag a trout.

Choose the size of your reel based on the following considerations:

• Small reel: A smaller reel will balance better on a lighter rod and is ideal for catching smaller and lighter fish.
• Large reel: A larger reel is built to hold plenty of lines and be strapped to a large powerful rod. It is the reel you need if you plan to battle it out with the biggest fish in the sea.

Once you can confirm where to fish and what you'll fish for, jump to our blogs surrounding reel types and learn more about what will suit you best, or head in-store and speak to our knowledgeable team who can show you your best solutions.

What is the difference between common types of fishing reels?

There are lots of fishing reels the modern angler can choose from and as such most anglers require a combination of different fishing reels suitable for many different fishing situations and environments:

• Spinning Reel: A standard Spinning Reel will be the most common style you will find, available in an array of sizes and brands. It is the easiest to learn and perfect for every general fishing purpose.
• Baitcaster Reel: The next style is a Baitcaster Reel, that sits on top of the rod rather than hanging below, and has been perfected for use where you need great casting accuracy, fighting larger fish due to their strength and are ergonomically shaped for comfort. Although a little harder to learn and master, the Baitcaster is an up and coming new angler favourite.
• Overhead Reel: The third option is an Overhead Reel, used primarily for big game fishing, given they are the strongest of all reels and capable of handling powerful fish such as Tuna and Marlin.

What are some popular fishing reels to consider?

The extensive Anaconda fishing reel range is adaptable to all varieties of fishing rods and fishing lines. If you enjoy saltwater ocean big game fishing or freshwater lake fishing, we have the right reel for you.

How do I choose a fishing reel for beginners?

If you're a beginner, the best reel is one that is affordable, lightweight and easy to use. When you're considering which type of fishing reel to buy, it may be best to start with a spincast reel. A spincast reel or spinning reel is typically the easiest to learn and simplest to operate of the three primary styles of casting reels.

What other fishing gear should I consider?

With any Fishing Reel, you need the right rod pairing to make catching fish a habit rather than a miracle. Choosing a rod that matches the sizing and balance of your chosen reel will make fishing easier and more comfortable and give you the utmost feel anytime a fish takes a bite of the lure attached. Once your rod and reel set up is chosen, you can then make choices based on preferences between Soft Plastic Lures and Hard Body Lures, the right line whether you want a mono line or a braid line, as well as any other essential fishing tackle like hooks, sinkers and any tackle storage solutions to keep it all safe and within reach.

With a huge range of fishing reel accessories, Anaconda has a perfect range for everything you know you need to get on the water and catch some fish.
