The best budget reels for spinning

3 DAIWA Ninja 2000A

The brightest representative of the class of cheap inertialess coils, the advantage of which lies in a striking appearance and a high degree of constructive reliability. It is reliably known that the grandees of the fishing equipment segment pay attention not only to the functional features of the goods produced, but also to their appearance. The same principle was overtaken by DAIWA Ninja 2000A - manufacturers generously awarded the coil with a rather typical combination of black and gray, diluting it with bright red on an aluminum spool. It turned out quite well - many esthete users appreciated the idea of ​​the creators.

Of the operational part of the DAIWA Ninja 2000A, consumers mostly liked the light weight of the structure (240 grams) and the forest intensity, equal to 125 meters of the fishing line with a section of 0.25 millimeter. In general, the model is balanced and durable, which, together with a low price, makes it one of the best in its segment.

Inertialess reel, won recognition among anglers due to high quality and reliability.Despite the rather low price, it is included in the class of accessories for intermediate spinning. Rotation of the handle is based on the presence of four radial bearings (one roller and three ball), which provide smoothness and ease of movement. The friction brake mechanism includes several discs that provide the coil with sufficient locking force when fishing from the reservoir.

It has a lightweight graphite case with an installed dural spool, the capacity of which is up to 200 meters of fishing line with a cross section of 0.28 mm.

To ensure the smooth rotation of the handle and rollers of the mechanism in MIKADO Black Stone 4006 FD there are five ball bearings. User feedback suggests that this number is sufficient for the coil, but with time micro-sleeves begin to form at the turning parts. Whatever it was, but the model fits organically into its value - the Polish company is not trying to “collect” anything superfluous for its creation.

2 DAIWA Ballistic LT 2500D XH

One of the premium models of the coils of the company DAIWA, the emphasis in which was placed on ensuring maximum ergonomic performance during intensive operation. It is simply impossible to explain the total underestimation of the mass of the structure otherwise - for all its coolness and abundance of residual life, the Ballistic LT 2500D XH weighs only 180 grams. Completing spinning coils with such a coil will be akin to the highest pleasure - fishing in a casting is guaranteed not to cause hand fatigue. It is worth noting a very smooth execution of the turning parts of the mechanism, based on six ball bearings.

From the point of view of users, the average attention of the Ballistic LT 2500D XH deserves the average capacity of the spool (150 meters of mono-rolls with a cross-section of 0.28 millimeter), as well as the presence of a backstop stopper. Yes, its cost is very high, but the longevity, about which anglers have repeatedly spoken, fully pays for all costs.

The best budget multiplier spinning reels

3 okuma Magda Pro 2 MA-30DX

okuma Magda Pro 2 MA-30DX is a rather rare type of low-cost multipliers designed for the perception of the strongest loads. It is not often used on rivers, since the safety margins and overall dimensions, even when hunting for trophy fish, are very redundant. But for marine battles the coil fits perfectly: with an actual weight of 490 grams, it is able to withstand very serious loads.

According to anglers reviews, okuma Magda Pro 2 MA-30DX covers almost all functional requirements among the reels of the budget segment. The graphite spool of this “baby” is capable of holding up to 420 meters of fishing line with a diameter of 0.40 millimeter.The disadvantage of this model can be partly called weighty, but if catching in a rare casting prevails in consumer habits, then it will simply not be able to find an equal.

2 SHIMANO Caius A (CIS151A)

Inexpensive Shimano multiplier reel has gained high popularity due to its excellent overall performance (205 grams of weight) and the reliability of the working mechanism. Like all products of this manufacturer, Caius A (CIS151A) is based on the use of a knowingly small number of bearing supports: four ball bearings and one roller. However, despite the constructive minimalism, backlash and shims overtake this model quite rarely. The gear ratio of the gearing is 6.3: 1 and enables very fast winding of the fishing line with an effective bite.

User reviews speak of the excellent fitness of the SHIMANO Caius A to the most severe operating conditions. Yes, the aluminum spool is slightly lacking in forest intensity (only 125 meters of fishing line 0.25 millimeter). However, in practice, this is the only serious miscalculation made by Shimano.

1 Daiwa Exceler 100H

One of the most recent developments of the notorious Japanese company Daiwa, the “Excellent” multiplier reel Exceler 100H is the best addition for top-notch spinning. In terms of smoothness, power and reliability, it convincingly bypasses many elite models, the cost of which is several times higher. One roller and eight radial ball bearings are responsible for the smooth rotation of the handle. MagForce Z braking system, based on the action of magnets, is installed as a friction clutch. While the coil is new, there are no problems. However, after a long period of operation, the magnetic brake begins to “kink”. Otherwise, this is quite a budget option, which can be purchased not only by professionals, but also by experienced amateurs.

Advantages:

• attractive price;
• use of magnetic clutch;
• well adjusted mechanism;
• competitiveness in the segment of more expensive coils.

Disadvantages:

• at improper operation defects of the braking system appear.

The best multiplier coils premium segment

3 DAIWA Lexa 100HL

DAIWA Lexa 100HL is another balanced coil, but with a clear bias in difficult conditions. It is based on seven ball bearings of increased wear resistance, requiring periodic lubrication during use. In the case of proper care, according to the developers, the multiplier can “live” up to 10 years, even if it is used intensively in aggressive conditions.

The weight of the DAIWA Lexa 100HL is 225 grams and doesn’t weigh heavily on the overall design of the equipped spinning. Reviews show a very warm attitude of users to this coil. In particular, to the load capacity of its friction clutch, which allows you to carry larger predators out of the water (mainly pike, chub, pikeperch, trout (during), asp, etc.) As for the cost, then according to the public, it looks very good, not bringing anglers to the need for excessive spending.

2 Abu Garcia Revo MGX-L LP

The award reel from Abu Garcia was the lightest model in the entire considered segment. Manufacturers are preoccupied with the issues of ergonomics multiplicator, and therefore decided to base the development on the use of ultra-light magnesium alloy. It turned out very even not bad: the total weight of the structure was 154 grams.At the same time, experimental studies have shown the full readiness of the coil to meet with serious resistance from predators.

Largely because of the pursuit of small weights, the Abu Garcia Revo MGX-L LP noticeably lost to its opponents in terms of capacity. In the best case, the forest capacity of its spool is enough for 115 meters of fishing line with a diameter of 0.30 millimeter. Not to say that this fact greatly influences the condition of the dwellers, but in some cases it can play a cruel joke with fishermen.

1 SHIMANO CURADO 201 IHG

A balanced premium-level multiplier, the main advantage of which suddenly became a very spacious spool. The overall dimensions of the Shimano Curado 201 IHG are not too different from competitive models, but constructively the space for the fishing line was allocated much more - about 150 meters with a cross section of 0.3 mm. This fact allows anglers to widely vary fishing locations - from rivers and prey in the form of pike with pike perch to the seas with casting on sea bass and other inhabitants of this water area.

In terms of construction, the developers from Shimano decided not to experiment with minimalism and equip the Curado 201 IHG mechanism with six rolling bearings. Actually, with the parameters of durability, there is a complete order here: the feedback from anglers speaks of a nearly three-year use of the coil without the appearance of backlash and other troubles.
