As early as 1986, Benle introduced the most cutting-edge HT-100 material to make brake pads, and after many years, this material is still used in its top fishing reels, which shows its outstanding braking performance. The reason why Benle fishing reel has a good reputation is mainly because its advanced models are often the most extreme of wheels in the same price range. Prior to Shimano's "capture" of ICAST, Benle Spinning Wheels won the Best Sea Water Wheel Award for three consecutive years.
There are only 6 types of Benle fishing reels on sale in China, which are basically spinning wheels, and the price of the main products is concentrated in 600-1500 yuan, of which the most eye-catching is the decisive second generation (Battle II) that won the 2014 ICAST "Best Sea Wheel", the price is less than 700 yuan, and Shimano's award-winning product TEKOTA in 2018 starts at 1000 yuan.
Compared to the first generation, the Battle II has improved body coating quality and uses stainless steel sealed bearings to further improve corrosion resistance. The patented HT-100 brake pads are distributed on the upper and lower sides of the wire cup, similar to Shimano's dual-disc brake system, and the braking performance is better than that of ordinary products on the market, and the throwing is consistent and stable. There are very few plastic parts of the whole wheel, and the materials are thick, which is a rare "sincere work". Although it won the "Best Sea Water Wheel", it is actually common in fresh seawater, so if you are mainly engaged in sea fishing, it is recommended to buy more than 6000 models.
CLASH is an upgrade of the 2015 ICE "Best Sea Wheel" by BENLE, both the number of ball bearings and the waterproof airtightness have been upgraded to a new level, and the main gear is made of precision three-dimensional CNC cutting technology, which is also relied on by the main gear of the 100 million watt top-of-the-line model SALTIGA. In addition, CLASH is also equipped with Benlor's exclusive Leveline braking system, which makes the line smoother and less tangled for novice throws. However, the price of about 1,500 yuan still affects its popularity, after all, China's high-end fishing reel market is still dominated by Japanese brands, and anglers with wheels above 1,000 yuan are more inclined to Shimano and Dayiwa.
The most eye-catching fishing reel in Benle is, of course, the highest TRQ second generation, priced at nearly 13,000 yuan, twice as much as Shimano's flagship model STELLA SW, but judging from the feedback of senior players and professional anglers, the comprehensive performance of TRQ second generation may not be as good as STELLA SW, let alone surpass. In fact, the TRQ generation caused a lot of controversy when it was launched, and the official claim that it could catch 50 pounds (about 22.7 kg) of large objects, but it turned out that it could not withstand the towing of 29.5 pounds (about 13.4 kg) of marine fish, and the STELLA SW still holds the record of 250 kg. Although the second generation of TRQ has been improved several times, it is impossible to achieve a counterattack in the sky.
