The spinning reel, also known as an open-face reel, is very popular among both beginner and experienced anglers due to its ease of use and excellent price-quality ratio. Choosing the right spinning reel is relatively simple; for smaller fish, a lightweight reel in the size range of 500-3000 is suitable, and for larger fish, more robust spinning reels in the size range of 4000 or larger are appropriate. A beginner or someone fishing for a variety of species can comfortably purchase a spinning reel in the size range of 2500-3000. Pay attention to the gear ratio when selecting a reel - the heavier the fish you are targeting, the lower the gear ratio should be to achieve the maximum torque.
From Ruoto's extensive selection, you will find high-quality spinning reels from all manufacturers. You are sure to find a reel that suits you, whether your target is salmon, perch, or pike! The handedness of a spinning reel is easily adjustable.



































































































A spinning reel is always chosen based on the type of fish being targeted. For example, when fishing for perch and zander, a lightweight fishing setup with a sensitive reel is desired. On the other hand, for larger fish like pike and salmon, a spinning reel with power and line capacity is needed.
Unlike the size or physical characteristics of the spinning reel, the choice between front and rear drag is more a matter of preference. The front drag is generally slightly more effective than the rear drag, but the difference is rarely significant enough to notice, especially when fishing for medium or small fish. However, the front drag is often perceived as smoother than the rear drag, which becomes more apparent when using ultra-light lines.
