Multiplier reels for beachcasting

Sea fishing multiplier reels are often used with beach casters or when fishing from rock marks along the shore. They offer smooth casting and are able to cast rigs great distances whilst giving the angler high retrieve speeds, ample drag pressure and line capacity. Some reels feature a level wind which lays the line evenly on the spool without input from the angler but will reduce casting distance. Reels with faster retrieve are ideal for winching tackle up and over rough ground quickly avoiding snags.
Most multiplier reels feature a braking system of some sort, which helps the angler to control the reel when casting and avoid over runs. Centrifugal brakes are common and allow the angler to add brake blocks to the side of the spool which slows its rotation during the cast. Brake blocks require the reel spool to be removed to fit them though so this isn’t practical for anglers to do on the bank, this is where magnetic brakes come into their own. Magnetic braked reels feature a magnet which acts upon the side of the spool to slow it. There’s often a dial adjustment on the outside of the reel which can quickly be adjusted to move the magnet closer to the spool and increase the braking effect. These reels can easily be adjusted on the bank when fishing.

Overview of Multiplier Reels for Beach Casting

A multiplier reel is a specialised type of fishing reel commonly used for beach casting and other forms of sea fishing. Unlike fixed spool reels, the spool rotates during the cast, allowing for potentially longer casting distances.

What is the Best Reel for Beach Casting?

There's no one-size-fits-all answer to the best reel for beach casting as it largely depends on your specific needs, fishing conditions and skill level. However, reputable brands like Abu Garcia, Daiwa, Penn and Shimano often offer high-quality multiplier reels designed for beach casting.

Why Use a Multiplier Reel for Beach Casting?

Multiplier reels offer excellent control during the cast and allow skilled anglers to achieve longer casting distances. They are also better suited for heavy lines and can handle larger species more effectively.

What Size of Multiplier Reel Should I Use for Beach Fishing?

The size of the multiplier reel you should use for beach fishing depends on the target species and fishing conditions. Generally, a reel in the 5000 to 8000 size range is considered adequate for most beach fishing scenarios.

Why are Magnetic Brakes Used in Multiplier Reels?

Magnetic brakes are used to control the speed of the spool during casting. This reduces the risk of "bird's nest" tangles and allows for more accurate and longer casts. They are particularly useful for those who are new to using multiplier reels.

What Style of Handle Does a Multiplier Beach Casting Reel Have?

Multiplier beach casting reels typically feature a single power handle that provides better leverage when reeling in larger fish or working against strong currents.

What Does the Difference in Gear Ratio Mean in Multiplier Reels?

The gear ratio signifies how many times the spool rotates with a single turn of the handle. A higher gear ratio means faster line retrieval but less power, while a lower gear ratio provides more power but slower retrieval.

Can All Multiplier Reels Be Used for Beach Casting?

While many multiplier reels can be adapted for beach casting, it's advisable to select a reel specifically designed for this purpose. These specialised reels generally have features like; a braking system (centrifugal or magnetic), larger line capacities, stronger drags and more durable construction to withstand the harsh conditions of beach casting.
