Top 10 Feeder Coils

Feeder quickly won the hearts of domestic anglers. The catchiness of this method of fishing depends on a whole set of factors, the most important of which is the proper equipment of the fishing rod. Since in the process of fishing frequent casting of heavy feeders with bait is made, a large load is placed on the coil. The feeder is equipped with the usual inertialess models. But the grinder must meet several important requirements.

• In the first place, experts put the gear ratio of the coil. It shows how much fishing line is wound for one turn of the reel. Universal models with a ratio from 4.6: 1 to 5.5: 1 are optimal for the feeder. They ideally combine power and speed of winding.
• The size of the spool on inertia-free coils is usually indicated by Shimano’s classification. Supporters of the fidera prefer meat grinders with spools of 3000-4000. When using a braid as the main fishing line, a metal spool is selected, and a plastic version is also suitable for a monofila.
• On the number of bearings you should not get hung up. Quality meat grinders from well-known brands with 5-6 bearings will last longer than low-cost Chinese products with 10-15 sliding linear bushings.
• When choosing a non-spinning reel, consider the type of fish that can be hooked. For catching carp, carp or cupid, a necessary option will be the presence of a baytranner. With one movement of the lever, you can completely weaken the clutch, then with a powerful bite of fish tackle not to sail on the pond.

Our review includes the best reels for the feeder. In compiling the rankings, the opinions of experts from the English donkee and reviews of amateur anglers were taken into account.

TOP 10

10 Stinger ForceAge Neo 3000

With the help of Chinese partners, the Russian producer managed to create a competitive budget reel for feeder fishing. The model has its pros and cons. Experts are pleasantly surprised by the quality of winding both nylon and braided fishing line. I also liked the easy move, the powerful friction brake. Internal content is also worthy of respect, which is only the main pair of steel and bronze. If we add to this a screwed-in handle and a spool made of aviation aluminum, then we get a reliable and durable design with a friction load of up to 9 kg. This is evidenced by the mass of the product (312 g).

However, during the operation of the anglers revealed a number of shortcomings. For example, after several fishing trips, a rustling appears during rotation, indicating a small amount of lubricant. When fishing, it is important to take care of the meat grinder, since the graphite body may crack when struck.

9 DAIWA Laguna E 3000B

In the spin-off coil DAIWA Laguna E 3000B, anglers found an excellent combination of technical parameters, which makes it possible to call it the best model for river fishing. On small and medium rivers, no extra long throw is required, so 185 m of 0.3 mm fishing line on the spool is more than enough. Given the strength of the current and the depth at the point of catching, you can pick up the heaviest feeders. With a ratio of 5.3: 1, exhausting the fishing line will not be a problematic exercise.Thanks to the aluminum narrow body, the manufacturer was able to install thrust bearings under the large gear. The main spool is also made of aluminum, and there is a plastic replacement option included.

Russian fideristy say in a review the strength and reliability of the meat grinder, a smooth ride and good traction. The disadvantages include backlash in the handle and tight rotation of the lesoukladyvatel roller.

8 Okuma Inspira ISX-30R

The Chinese inertia-free coil Okuma Inspira ISX-30R competes with well-known brands in the domestic market. The manufacturer does not pursue a low price, relying on modern technologies and materials. Due to the high-precision elliptical gear, as well as the installation of 9 bearings, the manufacturer managed to achieve a smooth running and accurate winding of the fishing line on the spool. The rotor is perfectly balanced, due to which there is no vibration. The spool is made of anodized aluminum, the gears are machined from brass. This approach had a positive effect on the reliability of the unit. The main steam is reliably protected from water and dust by means of a hermetic gasket.

Feeder fishing fans flatteringly speak of a smooth ride, no backlash, and high-quality winding of fishing line. The downside of the model is the ingress of the fishing line when exhausting between the spool and the clutch.

7 Volzhanka Meteor 3000

The inertia-free reel VOLZHANKA Meteor 3000 is in steady demand with domestic fishermen. The model attracts not only with its low price. Experts are flattering about the clutch, which has a micro-step adjustment. The spool is equipped with two ball bearings, thanks to this design it was possible to achieve high-quality winding of a thin fishing line. The Russian manufacturer managed to reduce the weight of the coil (297 g) at the expense of a graphite rotor and an aluminum spool. The brake system is allowed to exert a load of 5 kg. The main pair consists of a pinion gear made of antifriction alloy and a brass satellite. 7 + 1 bearings are installed in the budget meat grinder, which make the rotation smooth and soft.

Analyzing the reviews, we can conclude: the anglers are unhappy with the winding of the braid (hilly is formed), there are cases of strong noise when winding under load.

6 SHIMANO STRADIC CI4 + C3000 FB

To equip a lightweight feeder, a fast-moving SHIMANO STRADIC CI4 + C3000 FB coil is perfect. This is the best model in terms of lightness (190 g) and manufacturability. The meat grinder appeared in 2016, embodying the most advanced technologies of the old proven products of the RARENIUM CI4 + and STRADIC CI4 series. Special system COREPROTECT protects the internal mechanism from dirt and water, which is inherent in the elite coils. The new case has become much stronger, thanks to the use of innovative material created by technology G-FREE BODY. A serious change is noted by experts in the Magnumlite rotor, it has become lighter, and the rotational inertness has also decreased. 7 ball and 1 roller bearings provide smooth rotation.

Fishermen in reviews admire the smooth and quiet operation, ease and quality of winding fishing line. A high price becomes a deterrent to the purchase.

5 RYOBI Arctica 4000

Initially, the RYOBI Arctica 4000 inertia-free coil was designed for spinning fishing, but it also appealed to fans of the feeder. The model has all the necessary parameters for casting and hauling heavy feeders. The manufacturer has equipped the grinder with a reinforced housing based on aluminum alloy. The successful combination of metal and carbon parts has increased the strength, while maintaining an acceptable weight (320 g). The ergonomic handle can be rearranged, which allows left-handed anglers to install it on their gear. Both the gear ratio (5.0: 1), and the aluminum spool, and 6 bearings are suitable for bottom gear.

Domestic fishermen are satisfied with the versatility and durability of the inertialess coil, reasonable price and bright appearance.The disadvantages include the backlash in the handle after the season of operation.

4 Salmo Elite BAITFEEDER 7 4000BR

DAIWA spinless reels have long been considered luxury products in the fishing world. To make the price more affordable, the model Fuego 4000D-C LT (17) decided to collect in Vietnam. According to experts, the transfer of production is not strongly reflected in the quality. The product uses modern materials, introduced innovative technologies. Thus, the new DS5 graphite material and the Light & Tough concept had a positive effect on the weight of the meat grinder (241 g). Thanks to the gears Tough Digigear managed to reduce the size of the body, as well as increase power and durability. The ATD brake system is responsible for the uniformity of the force. Internal parts are reliably protected from moisture and dust, and the maximum load on the clutch is 12 kg.

Feeder fans say in a review the lack of backlash, easy start and a smooth ride, a combination of compactness and power. Before operating, check the presence of grease on the parts of the main pair.

2 SHIMANO 17 ULTEGRA C3000 FB

Designers of the Japanese company SHIMANO in the development of a new inertialess coil based on the proven model 12 Ultegra. Replacing the numbers in the designation seriously affected the power characteristics of the product. The fans of feeder fishing immediately became interested in the novelty, since the permissible load on the friction clutch of the model reached 9 kg. The public got acquainted with the coil at the 2017 winter exhibition. Such important details as the case and the rotor were modernized.
