Mitchell has been around for decades, so they know what they are doing. This baitrunner reel for carp fishing offers performance and great value. The body of the reel is manufactured from aluminium, well known for its corrosion resistance. The multi-disc drag system will allow you to play fish of all sizes, without fear of overstressing the line or your rod. We particularly like the chunky soft-grip single handle, enabling you to put the pressure on when you need to. The line capacity and retrieve rate easily make it a great choice of reel for carp fishing, especially if you are on a budget.
Shakespeare knows a thing or two about making fishing tackle. This lightweight graphite offering would be a great choice for smaller venues. The large diameter bail arm keeps everything nicely out of the way, particularly when you are putting a bend in your rod with a big cast. The reel is available in several sizes, but for monster carp, we would recommend sticking with the series.
Along with this high-quality reel, you also get a spare spool, giving you a little flexibility as you can load two different types of line. FI you want the functionality offered by a baitrunner but normally fish on smaller venues and think a sized reel might be overkill then this could be ideal. It would work particularly well with a light feeder rig. The reel features infinite anti-reverse, preventing tangles and giving you ultimate control over your line.
The composite body and rotor offer a frictionless performance and are lightweight and strong to boot. The aluminium handle features a chunky grip, perfect for winding in whatever has taken your bait. For big fish, you ideally want to be pulling out the heavy artillery. Although the reel is pretty sizeable it manages to keep weight down with a graphite spool. The aluminium body feels solid in the hand.
This reel has a great retrieve rate, making line retrieval effortless, with a fish on or without. With a slow spool speed and excellent line lay capability this reel will allow you to cast into orbit.
A 15kg drag system gives you more than enough firepower to handle the biggest specimens. Check out the following short video on the features of this amazing reel:. When talking about big pit reels this is no doubt a thoroughbred. The unique air rotor system relieves stresses caused by powerful casting and winding. The 'air bail system' means you can open the bail arm at the touch of a finger.
Daiwa have done it just a little bit differently by also increasing the length of the spool as well as the width. Due to the forces involved casting large distances with heavy weights, tangles can be a problem. Daiwa have addressed this by adding anti twist technology to the reel. This great reel from Sonik has features that are well thought out in the design that adds real value to the actual user on the bank. For example the quick click folding handles is a luxury feature that makes things easier when setting up.
The 'nitty ' gritty' however of the cast and retrieve of this reel has the same luxury feel of the 'quick click' feature and indeed of a reel 3 times its price tag. This reel isn't a Basia or an Emblem as an all round package but isn't far off and with a much more affordable price is well worth the investment. Okay it hasn't got all the frills and spills of the Basia 19 or the Emblem 25 but as a beginners big pit reel or for those on a tight budget this is absolutely ideal.
This reel should be a consideration for all and sundry. You might get a touch more line on, but if you are down to the last 20 metres then you have other things to worry about. Big pit reels used to be big heavy contraptions, but this reel has borrowed a little technology. It is constructed almost entirely of lightweight graphite and aluminium. The line lay will be silky smooth however the retrieve ratio just isn't as good as the premium counter-parts as its more on par with the premium bait runners.
None-the-less, this reel is great for beginners and fantastic for those looking for a budget big pit reel. The XT range from Shimano is really popular in the angling industry today and understandably so. Shimano have always produced quality reels and this is no exception. This particular version has taken the original and given it a cosmetic face lift alongside an upgrade.
Line management is now controlled by the 'Aero Wrap II' system with 2-speed oscillation to deliver perfect line lay and increasing casting performance. Another improvement is the hybrid aluminium body which is stronger and lighter than the previous 'RA' version.
This reel is available in different sizes allowing you to balance your perfect reel with the sized water you are predominantly fishing. Speaking of the handle it is super chunky with a huge arm, just like a big pit reel. You will never need another reel for heavy work. Well this is a great example of what we were saying. You will fit around m of line on a spool provided you use a sensible breaking strain.
But you also get the bait runner function. Whilst this has a really decent sized spool you maybe wont get quite as much distance on a cast.
But it will certainly come close. Once you have landed that big carp you have spent months targeting, you want to see how much the fis We have compiled a list of carp bait companies from the biggest names like Mainline Baits through to Our one-click login makes it easy to join our carp community.

Most often I will load the D with just shy of yards of lbs braid. With a drag rating of 20 lbs, you are ready to fight most of your mid-sized species. This is the model I prefer for reef fishing for jewfish. The Shimano Baitrunner D is the largest of the models and is typically used when going after your larger pelagic species that love to run such as Sailfish, Wahoo, and Tuna.
If you need to step up the strength you can pack yards of 80 lbs braid on the spool and get ready for a great fight with a big fish using the 20 lbs drag. Line capacity rings on the Spinfisher V are a first for spinning reels.
