Weight

Weight refers to how heavy the reel is (usually in grams or ounces). Reel weight affects comfort, rod balance, and fatigue during longer sessions.

  • Lighter reels reduce fatigue and pair well with lighter rods for casting and finesse fishing.
  • Heavier reels can balance larger rods and feel more stable when targeting bigger fish.
  • Choosing a reel that balances your rod improves control and casting comfort.
