Choose Reel Style

Open Face Reel


An open-face reel, also known as a spinning reel, features an exposed spool and is designed for versatility and precision. It allows for longer casts and better line control, making it ideal for a variety of fishing techniques. This reel type is great for both beginners and experienced anglers who want greater accuracy and the ability to handle different line weights. However, it requires some skill to manage the line and prevent tangling.

Closed Face Reel

A closed-face reel, or spincast reel, has a protective cover that encloses the spool, making it easy to use and less prone to tangling. It operates with a simple push-button mechanism, making it a great choice for beginners, children, or those with limited hand dexterity. While it offers ease of use, it may not provide the same casting distance or line control as an open-face reel.
