Carp Fishing Reels FAQs
What size carp reel is right for me?
You will always look to balance the reel to the rod. For lighter rods, where you are fishing shorter distances you can go with a smaller reels, but for long rangers, higher test curve rods, you would be looking at big pit style reels.
What does RD, FD and freespool mean?
RD means rear drag, FD means front drag, and freespool refers to a lever on the reel to disengage the clutch of the reel so the spool can spin freely when line is pulled, before engaging when the handle is turned. This is also known as a baitrunner on Shimano reels.
What is the longest distance I could cast?
Casting distance is very heavily based on technique and the balance of your kit. Practise makes perfect but having the correct kit for the job is vitally important. 12-13ft rods, with big pit style reels, and tapered lines are the best for extreme long-range of distances over 140yrds.
How much line can be held?
This is entirely down to the reels size and spool capacity and the diameter of the line chosen. Most big pit style reels will hold around 300m of 0.35mm (12-15lb) mono, whereas small baitrunner style reels would hold around 180-220m.
What are the main differences between the more expensive reels and the cheaper options?
Like with most things, when you pay a bit more, you get more for your money, and it's similar with reels. More expensive reels will be constructed from better, stronger, lighter materials, with more bearings making them smoother, and offering better line lay.
Is there technology in place to minimise line twists?
All modern-day reels will have an anti-twist line roller on the bail arm. However, twist occurs when the line is pulled from the reel on the clutch, and wound back on. The twist roller reduces this but does not fully prevent it. If you can play fish from the backwind, or open the bail arm when taking rigs out by boat rather than using the clutch, this will reduce the twist in your line.
