Float Fishing Fixed Spool Reels

Fixed spool reels are commonly used for float fishing applications and are available in a range of sizes to suit different situations and fishing styles. Smaller reels, in the 2000-3000 size, are perfect for fishing with lighter lines and lighter rods when float fishing. These reels will hold plenty of line up to 6lb-8lb breaking strain and the smaller size will balance lighter rods better.
Bigger reels, in the 4000-5000 size, are generally used for float fishing with heavier tackle and when targeting bigger fish such as carp. These reels are ideal for fishing pellet waggler tactics. A bigger reel holds more line of a heavier breaking strain and offers increased drag pressure to fight bigger fish.
