Types of reels

Shimano Beastmaster XS-A 7000 Reel

BIG FREE SPOOLS
Although reels in this category are usually used on the main fishing rods, they can be used for spod and marker work, particularly the latter, as the free spool feature makes is easier for the line to be pulled off when determining the depth of water.

BIG PITS
