Shimano

Shimano reels are the most reliable and highest quality reels in the world. Shimano has been making reels for 6 decades, and they do it themselves. Shimano develops, refines and manufactures the world's most advanced reels in its own factories in Japan and Malaysia. Shimano makes reels for everyone, from beginners to the world's best riders. The price of spinning reels starts at a few euros and goes up to 800 euros for the SW Stella, so you can easily find a reel to suit your needs and abilities.

What makes Shimano reels special?

First of all, it's the durability and longevity. Take any Shimano model, it lasts for years and years and is replaced, often not because it's broken but because you want a newer one. Take the competition, we hear about them "I've had it worse", but we rarely hear that about Shimano reels. What is the secret of this? It is difficult to say, but it is probably because Shimano has huge factories where they also produce bicycle components and, for this reason, they can produce, or cast, very high-quality sprockets and bearings very inexpensively. If other companies have to produce a good sprocket at a much higher cost, this is not a problem for Shimano. They have the best machine tools, the most advanced technology and a huge mass production capacity. So no Chinese company has been able to produce a reel of comparable quality either cheaper or more expensively, and it seems unlikely that they will. The other reason is probably quality control. Shimano, both in cycling and fishing, boasts incredibly low warranty and defect rates. This is a figure that is not achieved by any manufacturer of fishing tackle.

Another advantage of Shimano reels is that Shimano takes great care with both warranty and after-sales service and does not skimp on reel parts. If a Daiwa reel costs 1/3 of the price of a reel, a Shimano reel costs 1/8 of the price. The same goes for other parts and reels.
