Spinning Reels for Saltwater

Test the waters or jump in headfirst with saltwater reels that combine performance and simplicity. Saltwater spinning reels were once primarily the domain of small- and medium-game fishing, especially among new anglers. However, recent innovations in metallurgy and design have made them a player in big-game fishing. Advances in drag systems, gearing, and line capacities mean your spinner can win encounters with wahoo, amberjack, grouper, sailfish, and other big game while still shining during the surf fishing and jigging they're best known for.

Even if you aren't looking to set world records, a saltwater spinning reel is still a great bet. Since the reel is placed on the bottom of the rod, they have excellent balance, which means better control of your drag, distance and speed. They also are easier to use than a baitcaster reel and can adapt to many fishing environments, making them a must in almost any angler's tackle bag.
