Electric Fishing Reels

An electric reel is a motor-driven fishing reel that retrieves line at the push of a button. Instead of winding by hand, the reel does the heavy lifting for you. It's perfect for when you’re fishing deep, running heavy sinkers or hauling fish from the bottom. Deep-sea anglers, this one's for you!

If you fish deep or offshore, absolutely! Electric reels reduce fatigue, let you fish longer and make repeated deep drops much easier. They’re especially handy when you’re pulling heavy rigs up from depth all day in a long fishing sesh.

Well-known and trusted electric reel brands include Shimano, Daiwa, Samaki and PENN. These brands are popular with offshore anglers for their reliable motors, smooth operation and proven performance in harsh saltwater conditions.

Electric fishing reels are designed for offshore fishing, deep dropping and bottom fishing. They’re ideal when fishing deep reefs, wrecks and offshore ground where heavy tackle and long retrieves are part of the game.

Electric fishing reels are commonly used to target Aussie deep-water and offshore species like blue-eye trevalla, bar cod, hapuku, gemfish and deep-water snapper. They’re also an awesome option when fishing heavy rigs for reef species such as pearl perch and large nannygai.
