A carp reel is chosen to suit the water and the way you fish. Big pit reels are built for long casts on big waters, freespool reels let the carp take line on the take and compact carp reels suit lighter fishing. You will find all three in this group.






























































































A big pit reel has a large, shallow spool that lets line leave with little friction and helps you cast further. It is the natural choice when you fish a big lake or river and your baits are far from the bank.
A freespool or baitrunner reel is the standard solution in carp fishing. With the rod on the pod, the fish can take line freely and the rod stays put even on a savage take. A turn of the handle re-engages the main drag and the fight can begin.
A compact carp reel is lighter and suits shorter rods, stalking and small waters where long casts are not needed.
Choose the reel to match your line and rod: check line capacity, gear ratio and weight. The same reels on every rod make fishing smoother.
