Top rated Fishing reels

Here's a ranking of the top rated products in this category. To give you a quick overview, we've also added some key information about the products.

1. Daiwa Ninja BG LT Swiss Edition

Never before have we sold so many reels from a single series! The Ninja BG LT Swiss Edition is the Swiss special edition of the already legendary Ninja LT. It impresses both visually and technically. The silky smooth and quiet operation is particularly noteworthy here. By integrating the LT concept, DAIWA engineers have succeeded in significantly reducing the weight of the reel. The new Tough Digigear gearbox, which was previously only used in much more expensive reels, ensures better power transmission and an even smoother operation than the previous model in the Ninja LT series. The integrated ATD braking system not only provides significantly higher braking power (up to 12 kg) in the Ninja LT but also allows for an immediate release of the set braking force without high starting resistance - ideal for using thin lines and in critical fighting situations. With the Ninja LT, DAIWA offers a new and optimized successor model to the globally successful Ninja series in many respects.
