Whether you are looking for cheap spinning reels or high end spinning reels, you can find them at J&H Tackle. Spinning reel prices vary depending on what kind of fishing you are going to do, how well built the reel is and whether you’re going to be fishing in fresh or saltwater. The casual angler will need a good spinning reel of course, but the avid fisherman and woman will want more than just the basic features.

The spinning reels we have for sale are manufactured from a variety of materials including aluminum and different blends of graphite and carbon fiber. Carbon fiber or graphite reels are generally lighter than an aluminum reel. If you are a beginning angler, you shouldn't buy solely based on what the reel is made of. It is best to identify the type of fishing you are doing and what quality of gear is necessary for you to achieve your goals. Most freshwater and saltwater fishing styles have a wide variety of reels. When you get into the more specialized types of fishing like trolling for big game tuna and slow pitch jigging your options will be more limited.

The internals of the spinning reel are very important. Gears can be made from zinc, aluminum, bronze, brass and stainless steel. If you want to fish for big fish with a small spinning reel you need to make sure the gears are made of a strong material or are built thick to handle the pressure. This will make a big difference in your fishing experience.

Spinning reel prices also depend on whether you purchase a sealed or partially sealed reel. Sealed reels are essential for saltwater fishing as the salt water can penetrate the reel and corrode the gears, bearings or other parts of the reel. Seals are usually rubber o-rings that keep the elements on the outside of the reel. Some companies also use magnetic oils to keep water out. There is no such thing as a freshwater spinning reel or a saltwater spinning reel. Both can be used in freshwtaer and saltwater situations but fishing slatwater is a harsher environemnt so purchasing a reel with seals will make a big difference. Especially if you are fishing from the beach or are taking a lot of spray on a boat. When buying a spinning reel it is important to know what type of fishing you will be using it for.

Most of the major spinning reel manufacturers have spinning reels that range from very cheap in price to high end luxury. It is up to you to decide how much you want to spend on a new fishing reel and determine if that is the best reel for the type of fishing you are doing. Daiwa, Penn and Shimano have a wide variety of spinning reels for sale while Van Staal, Tsunami and Visser have smaller lineups that are highly targeted. 

You can see why spinning reel prices vary, and why there’s no reason to buy more reels than you need, depending on what kind of fishing you enjoy.

What are some common Spinning Reel Features?

The most common features of spinning reels are:

- Drag systems to control how much line is let out during a fish strike

- A bail that flips over the line when not in use to prevent tangles

- A handle that can be turned to the wind in the line

- A spool of line that can be replaced when it runs out

- An anti-reverse system to prevent the handle from being turned backward, which would cause the line to become tangled.

What is the Price Range for most Spinning Reels?

The price range for spinning reels can be anywhere from $20 to $2000. The average price for a good quality reel is around $150.

What kind of Drag System does a High-Quality Spinning Reel have?

A spinning reel with a good drag system will have a smooth, consistent drag that can be adjusted to match the conditions. The drag system should not cause the line to break, and it should be able to handle the weight of the fish being caught.

Are Fishing Spinning Reels Corrosion Resistant?

Yes, most fishing spinning reels are corrosion resistant. This is especially important if you are fishing in saltwater, as the salt can corrode the reel and cause it to fail. It is also worth noting that the corrosion-resistant properties of a reel can be reduced if it is not properly maintained.

What are the Benefits of Light Weight Reels?

Light weight spinning reels have several benefits. They are easier to carry, and they can be used for longer periods of time without causing fatigue. In addition, lighter reels tend to be more sensitive, so you can feel the fish biting the line more easily.

What is a Good Gear Ratio for a Fishing Spinning Reel?

The gear ratio of a reel is the number of times the spool turns for each turn of the handle. A higher gear ratio means that the spool will turn more quickly, which is useful when you are trying to reel in a fast-moving fish. A lower gear ratio is better for reeling in heavier fish or when you need more power to break through vegetation. In general, a good gear ratio for a fishing spinning reel is between 4:1 and 6:1.

What types of Fishing Spinning Reels do Sportfishing Anglers prefer?

Sportfishing anglers tend to prefer spinning reels that are durable and have a high gear ratio. They also usually prefer a reel with that is strong, has a great drivetrain and a strong drag system.

Does a High Quality Spinning Reel have more Bearings?

The number of bearings in a spinning reel is not necessarily an indicator of quality. However, in general, higher-quality reels will have more higher quality bearings. This is because more bearings provide smoother operation and longer-lasting performance. The better the quality of the bearings the better the performance.
