10 best coils for ultralight

Initially, ultralight was not a fishing technique. So called inventory, a distinctive feature of which was very light weight. Reel, spinning and as thin as possible. It would seem that this can give a fishing trip, but as it turned out, the use of such equipment gives a lot of advantages. For example, it is noted that a medium-sized fish reluctantly catches a snap with a thick fishing line, and the rod itself, that is, spinning, practically does not react to biting, which significantly complicates the process of cutting.

Later ultralight developed into an independent technique, and now it is rapidly gaining popularity. In reservoirs where there is no large fish, this is the best method of fishing. The number of fish caught increases significantly. But do not think that ultralight is used only to catch fish of small and medium size. Catch with it and a large representative of the fauna, but because of the small power of the coil its conclusion is very complicated. In order not to be trapped, and to catch any fish, regardless of its size, it is necessary to choose the right coil, and we have made this choice easier for you by considering the 10 most interesting models from both well-known brands and little-known manufacturers.

Top 10 best ultralight coils

10 Yoshi Onyx Infinit 2000

It is known that manufacturers from Japan pay a lot of attention to the quality aspects of their products, and we have the result of their work, which fully confirms this axiom. This is the easiest reel, possessing such a smooth course that you won't even notice how you twist the knob and bring your prey to the surface.

Such indicators have become possible through the use of computer balancing. The fisherman practically does not feel the load, only spinning bends under the weight of the trophy. But this cannot be achieved through balancing alone, and another important point is 7 bearings at once. It is difficult to imagine how the manufacturer managed to fit them into such a compact case, but the fact remains. It also uses an infinite bolt technology that allows you to adjust the front friction brake and adjust the output of the fish. This is especially important when dealing with a strong contender, such as carp, carp or bream.

9 Allux Ruthenium Ultra Evo SP

Despite the fact that ultralight has long been an independent fishing technique, many still perceive it as a normal set, the hallmark of which is the light weight of all accessories, as well as their compact size. This is a thin spinning and the most lightweight coil, and the weight implies the compactness of the product itself. If you count also, then this coil is especially for you.

Before us is the most compact model that fits easily into a pocket, although its weight is relatively high, more than 250 grams. This is due to the use in the production of graphite and compacted plastic. That is, such a reel mounted on a powerful spinning is quite capable of competing with a large trophy, but you should not put too much on it.Still, ultralight was originally designed for catching small and medium-sized fish, and a large predator is able to simply break the line, which is used here is very thin. Anyway, the similar coil perfectly will be suitable for use on a thin spinning which can be carried easily with itself, without burdening a backpack or unloading with heavy and bulky accessories.

8 MITCHELL Epic 3000 FD

American coils and spinning rods are quite rare on the market, even if the main production is located in China. Before us is a real American brand, widely known within the country, but rarely go beyond it. At home, these coils are considered low-cost, but for our customer they are relatively expensive, although, judging by the reviews, the cost is quite justified, since the coils serve for a very long time, and the materials used in production have increased strength.

But the main advantage is not even in quality and power, they are at a height here and you can not argue with that, but in appearance. The manufacturer pays a lot of attention to ergonomics and form factor. Coil looks very attractive and stylish. Smooth lines and curves perfectly harmonize, and matte colors will not leave indifferent even the most biased fisherman. Simply put, this is the best reel that combines high quality and visual appeal. Yes, it is far from budget, but it costs its own money, thanks to which it got into our rating.

7 DAIWA Sweepfire E 2500C

Another brand from the country of the Rising Sun, widely known among fishermen, both amateurs and professionals. It is known that a distinctive feature of Japanese brands is the high quality of their products, and as a result, a relatively high cost, but we have an obvious exception to the rules. This is a budget reel with the highest performance. It falls under the category of ultralight, as it has a weight of only 259 grams, and the most compact size. But despite such parameters, it easily copes with loot weighing up to three kilograms.

And yet the main advantage is the price. Low-cost coils do not differ in durability, but Dayva proved that reliable things can be produced at low prices. Perhaps this will be a new turn in the production of coils, as there are a lot of expensive models on the market, and budget brands are extremely rare, especially among manufacturers with big names, which often make us pay just for a beautiful name.

6 okuma HELIOS SX HSX-20

Japan is famous not only for high technology and computer equipment. Among fishermen, it is known as the country that became the birthplace of the most popular fishing brands, and Okuma is one of them. It is often compared with the unsurpassed market leader Shimano, and there is some truth in this. In the first place - the quality of all manufactured products. It is so high that not the most budget price is completely leveled, since the coils serve many seasons and do not require repair or careful maintenance.

In this model, despite the compact size and low weight, all modern technical nuances are implemented. There are 8 bearings installed at once, which makes the winding of the fishing line smooth and easy, even when a large predator sits at the other end. Also worth noting is a powerful friction brake with fine adjustment. It can be installed so accurately that you will not tear even the thinnest line. The case and spool are made of durable graphite, which is a distinctive feature of expensive brands, since such materials have a strong impact on the final cost.

5 Stinger Ultralight 1003

A distinctive feature of the ultralight is light weight, as the name says, and compact size. Before us is the most compact coil, which can only be found in the vast network.When folded, it fits easily into a pocket, and the total weight is only 140 grams, which is very small compared to other products in this segment.

In this case, do not underestimate this coil, since it is not only the easiest, but also the most powerful coil, if you correlate its dimensions with other characteristics. There are only 4 bearings and a front friction brake, as well as a flexible brake adjustment system that allows you to output both medium and large fish. The maximum load is equal to 2 and a half kilograms and this is quite a lot for such a small coil. If we talk about the shortcomings, here it is the price. Judging by the characteristics, the manufacturer tried to create the most durable product, which affected its value, but potential buyers will probably be deterred by the little known brand that is just beginning to gain popularity.

4 SHIMANO SAHARA C2000S FI

It is unlikely that there will be a fisherman who is not familiar with the brand name Shimano. This Japanese manufacturer is famous for its best accessories for fishing, and its distinguishing feature is the high quality of all admitted products. Coils and spinning for ultralight is no exception and we have direct evidence of this. It is light, only 220 grams, and at the same time a powerful coil capable of leading to the shore even small fish, not to mention the medium and small catch, which for this model is not difficult at all.

The price of the product is relatively high, but not for people familiar with this brand. They are well aware that Shimano is reliability and durability, which means that the coil will last for many seasons and will not fail at the most inopportune moment. Also, the manufacturer pays a lot of attention to ergonomics, and little things that are imperceptible at first glance. For example, the coil handle is covered with foamed polyurethane, which does not slip. Every detail is thought out here, even the bends of the handle are made in such a way that the grip on it is as comfortable as possible and the hands do not get tired with the long-term withdrawal of fish.

3 Salmo Elite BAIT CAST 6

Chinese brand Salmo is widely known among amateur fishermen, and among professional. The company produces a wide range of accessories, including spinning rods and ultralight light coils, which are often called the best in their price segment.

Before us is a professional model with a front friction brake and a hidden winding system. Its rotation speed is extremely high, but the main advantage is precise settings. You can build the parameters in such a way as to calmly display both large and small fish. At the same time, the tinctures change easily during the hatching process, and this is an additional advantage when capturing a strong opponent, such as a carp, which you first need to tire with multiple suspenders and vacations, and only then pull it out to the shore or in the net. If the price scares you, then just compare it with other manufacturers. The cost of the closed type coils often crosses the mark of 10 thousand rubles, and here only 4 and a half thousand, with all the positive characteristics preserved.

2 FREEWAY MAGIC SPIN

Not all fishermen are willing to buy expensive equipment. Often, it simply does not make sense, especially if you are not an avid angler and go out to the reservoir from time to time. In such a situation, there really is no point in acquiring expensive coils, and there is an opportunity to save money by buying this model, which, judging by the reviews, works fine and shows itself in action.

This is a little-known Russian brand that focuses on the friction brake. That it is the main advantage, but rather its fine tuning. Twisting the brake handle, the fisherman teaches the ability to adjust it so that the coil responds to the maximum weight, and the fishing line is not torn.This is a very important factor for ultralight, since, initially counting on a catch of small or medium size, a bathey trophy often falls on the bait, with which the light coil is simply unable to cope. Will delight buyers and the price of the product. Less than a thousand rubles for a fully functional model, which, if used carefully, will easily serve several seasons.

1 Catana 1000 FC

Coils from Chinese manufacturers often combine a relatively low price and mediocre quality, but there are exceptions. Before us is the most durable model from China, which has been awarded exclusively positive feedback. Yes, the price may seem too high to many, but judging by the feedback from real buyers, it costs its money and will last more than one season without requiring replacement of moving parts.

The weight of the coil is slightly more than 200 grams, which allows it to be classified as ultralight. At the same time, it is equipped with 6 bearings at once and has an aluminum spool that does not rust when the fishing line is wound and has increased strength. But even if the spool fails, you will have a spare, which the manufacturer supplies with its goods, which means that you will not have to go shopping or countless fishing sites looking for parts of the right size. Simply put, this is the best combination of price and quality, and the price in this case is fully justified.
