Pike / Predator Lure Fishing Fixed Spool Reels

Fixed spool reels, otherwise known as spinning reels, are perfect for lure fishing for pike, perch and other predators. They offer trouble free casting and retrieval with minimal tangles. Smaller reels in the 1000-2500 size are suited to fishing smaller lures and lighter weights for species such as perch. Their smaller size makes them lightweight and they balance light casting weight rods well.
Reels in the 2500-3000 size are perfect for fishing medium size soft plastics or lighter pike lures. They offer more line capacity than the smaller reels allowing heavier lines to be used and have more drag pressure to fight bigger fish.
Bigger spinning reels of 4000 or 5000 size are used for fishing big lures for bigger predators. They offer increased drag and line capacity and the larger gears can stand up to the strain of fighting big fish and casting big lures.
