Longevity, however, is subject to each angler’s care and treatment.ĭrag strength and spool capacities are modest but more than adequate. At this price pointy, 7 bearings are still pretty impressive.Ĭontrary to my concerns about big bearing counts and suspect quality, it would appear the President delivers reasonable longevity. There are 3 fewer in the 2000 but the crank is still light and smooth. The 2000, the smallest in the series, doesn’t get the huge bearing count for some reason. While high-end spinning reels still utilize some plastic, entry-level reels have quite a variety. Cheap metal components don’t do much better. Plastic parts wear and fail much earlier than quality metal components. The result is that longevity is compromised. Manufacturing costs are kept low via the inclusion of plastics and synthetic components. Quality metals, particularly high-end forged alloys, brass, and stainless, are particularly costly. One could question their quality and question what corners were cut to add such a significant bearing count. I’m always cautious of an entry-level spinning reel with a multitude of (8 or 9) bearings. Bearings will add to the cost of manufacture. It’s not uncommon to see reel counts of 6,7, and more for under $100. This number is not uncommon these days however, manufacturers have increased bearing counts in many budget reel series.Īnd quite significantly. 3 or 4 bearings at this price was a big deal. It’s not that long ago that bearing counts in entry-level reels was considerably low. Just be aware that the absence of any sealing is pretty common and more or less the standard in this category of spinning reel. Oil felt drag fares poorly when subject to water ingress. This is a bonus, particularly as oil felt drags are the standard at entry-level. Several at this price point will offer completely waterproof drag systems. Increasingly, drag systems are getting sealed. This is a basic step up from no seals, but a step-up, nonetheless. Check the specs, and you’ll find some reels that have sealed bearings. Manufacturers are adding rudimentary sealing at this price point. Sealing is Rare, But Its Inclusion Is Increasing Heartbreak is also possible as a trophy fish is lost to felt drags or a twisting body that causes gears to lock. However, longevity will be significantly reduced should you encounter several big battles under tough conditions. Having said that, you can find cheaper large reels that will ‘do the job’. However, fish like tuna will make very short work of an understrength spinning reel. Yes, some manufacturers make cheap, supposedly heavy-duty reels for offshore angling. If you’re looking for quality spinning reel sizes 8000 and above, you’re going to find this price point pretty tough. However, some fishing reel manufacturers do have hardy alloy internals. It is still unclear whether strength has been compromised, although it certainly has in some reels. Owing to lightweight reels’ popularity, manufacturers are substituting heavier internal parts, such as pinions and main gears, for aluminum. You will find many reels in the $100 category are made from synthetics or heavier cast metals. Lightweight alloys with exceptional strength and rigidity are reserved for high-end spinning reels. Here’s what you can expect when you purchase an entry-level reel at this price point Not as LightWeight While this price point can offer a great fishing experience, you need to be realistic about quality and performance. It’s also nice to think that when you part with 100 bucks, you’ll get a decent spin reel.
