A big game reel, often referred to as a big game fishing reel or offshore fishing reel, is a specialized type of fishing reel designed for catching large and powerful fish species typically found in deep-sea or offshore waters. These reels are built to withstand the extreme forces and demands of battling with massive fish, such as marlin, tuna, swordfish, and sharks.
Key features of a big game reel include:
Heavy-Duty Construction: Big game reels are typically constructed from durable materials such as aluminum or stainless steel to withstand the corrosive effects of saltwater and the stress of heavy-duty fishing.
High Line Capacity: They have a large line capacity to accommodate the long runs and deep dives often associated with big game fish.
Powerful Drag System: Big game reels have powerful and smooth drag systems that allow anglers to apply substantial pressure on the fish while maintaining control.
Two-Speed Mechanism: Many big game reels come with a two-speed mechanism, allowing anglers to switch between high-speed retrieval for quick line pickup and low-speed power for fighting large fish.
Large Handles: They often have oversized handles to provide the angler with a better grip and leverage during the fight.
Levelwind or Conventional: Big game reels come in both levelwind and conventional styles. Levelwind reels have a mechanism that evenly distributes line across the spool, while conventional reels require manual line guidance.
Trolling or Stand-Up Models: Depending on the type of fishing and angler preference, big game reels may be designed for trolling from a boat or for stand-up fishing where the angler stands and fights the fish without the aid of a fighting chair.
Line Type: They are designed to work with heavy monofilament, braided, or wire lines to handle the strain of big game fishing.
Ratchet or Clicker System: Many big game reels have a ratchet or clicker system that produces an audible clicking sound when a fish takes the line, alerting the angler to a potential strike.
