  • TOP.1 SHIMANO Shimano

    SHIMANO Shimano Japan

    Shimano won the best freshwater/seawater wheel at ICAST in 2017 and 2018, and this result is not surprising. Shimano reels have long since become a recognized industry benchmark, and the AR-C diagonal line cup has attracted many brands to follow suit, and even the top-of-the-range model SALTIGA has since switched to a similar diagonal line cup. In recent years, although the magnetic oil sealing technology of 100 million watts is famous all over the world, but throughout the development process of the fishing reel, 100 million watts are more to play the role of followers, and Shimano is the pioneer of the industry, and its original twist shaft cable system can obtain a very uniform reciprocating motion, and the wire arrangement effect is impeccable. The flagship spinning wheel that is difficult to meet The most domestic anglers will measure the size of the fishing reel by the standard of Shimano, and its position has been difficult to shake. However, Shimano's influence is not limited to Asia, and its fishing reels are also highly respected in the European and American fishing circles, especially the STELLA SW. Since 2001, Shimano STELLA SW has successively launched 01, 08 and 13 models, the latest STELLA...

  • TOP.2 DAIWA up to 100 million watts

    DAIWA up to 100 million watts Japan

    While Shimano shined at ICAST, Dayiwa also began to reap awards at the industry's most important EFTTEX (European Tackle Show), with its Exist LT and 18 RYOGA winning the 2018 EFTTEXBest New Fixed Spool Reel and Best New Multiplier Reel, respectively. Although the impact of 100 million watts of fishing reels on the industry is not as extensive as Shimano, its magnetic oil sealing technology is the first to break the trend and reverse the situation that the industry despises the waterproofness of fishing reels. Since then, manufacturers including industry leader Shimano have also begun to develop waterproof functions in a targeted manner. The powerful flagship spinning wheel Dayiwa and Shimano have been fighting for many years, and the fight is even more inextricable on the flagship spinning wheel. UP BILLION WATTS 01 SALTIGA IS BORN TO COMPETE WITH SHIMANO STELLA SW, HAS LAUNCHED THREE GENERATIONS OF PRODUCTS, INCLUDING 01, 10 AND 15, THE 15 SALTIGA ON SALE IN CHINA COSTS ABOUT 6500 YUAN, THE PRICE IS COMPARABLE TO 01 AND 10, TO SAY THAT THE PERFORMANCE UPGRADE, IT IS NOT AS SIGNIFICANT AS THE MANUFACTURER CLAIMS, BUT THE DEGREE OF IMPROVEMENT BETWEEN 01 AND 10 IS DEEPER. IN THE RACE BETWEEN THE 01 SALTIGA AND STELLA SW...

  • TOP.3 okuma 宝熊

    okuma 宝熊 Taiwan

    Okuma shares the same name as Okuma in Japan, but the two are not affiliated. Okuma is a machinery manufacturing company, and Baoxiong is one of the world's top three professional fishing gear manufacturers, and its fishing reels have won many awards from ICAST and EFTEX, and are known as the three giants of fishing reels along with Shimano and Dayiwa. But Bao Xiong did not continue to launch a powerful model like the other two giants, the early VS series was the world's largest number of bearings spinning wheels at that time, it can be regarded as a domestic top wheel, but it has been discontinued for a long time, the current flagship model of Bao Xiong is a warrior, the price is about 1300 yuan, placed in the Shimano and up to 100 million watts of the product line belongs to the advanced model, Bao Xiong's competitiveness is also focused on the advanced model of about 1,000 yuan, characterized by strong and durable, suitable for the rock rod lake Kubo big fish, it can be said that there is no one else in the domestic manufacturers. Sincere advanced spinning wheels: After the discontinuation of the 2nd generation VS series, the 2nd generation has become the face of Baoxiong, and it is naturally equipped with its iconic EOS elliptical gear transmission system, which can change the rate of reciprocating motion when transmitting, and it is said that the wiring effect is more...

  • TOP.4 Abu Abu

    Abu Abu Sweden

    Abu has received an award from the Swedish royal family and can be said to be a Swedish national treasure. As one of the world's largest manufacturers of fishing reels, Abu has nearly 80 years of wheel-making history, and its fishing reels have a reputation for small cranes, and its REVO series of water drop wheels have won the reputation of ICAST and EFTEX. Looking at the fishing reel market, Shimano and Dayiwa have the most balanced layout, whether it is a basic model, an advanced model or a flagship wheel, there are well-known masterpieces; Measured by the product lines of Shimano and Dayiwa, Baoxiong basically only launches basic and advanced models, and its main products are concentrated in basic models; In contrast, although there are many models of Abu fishing reels, covering various price ranges, they are only famous in the advanced model, and the basic products are decent as a whole, and there are better choices at the same price. It is the famous REVO series that supports the façade of Abu, each model corresponds to a spinning wheel and a drop wheel, the spinning wheel generally focuses on freshwater fishing, and the drop wheel takes a rough and sharp route, which is basically positioned as a big wheel, which is widely used...

  • TOP.5 Penn

    Penn United States

    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 Wheel had 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 battle II (Battle II) that won the 2014 ICAST best seawater wheel, with a price of less than 700 yuan, while 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 throughout the wheel,...

  • TOP.6 Pflueger

    Pflueger United States

    Founded in 1881 as a producer of fishing hooks, Figo launched its first reel in 1916 and has a history of more than 100 years of reeling and a firm following in the European and American fishing worlds. Also a sub-brand of Pure Fishing Group in the United States, the layout of Figo fishing reels is not much different from Benle, and the main spinning wheels in the Chinese market are concentrated in the price range of 700-1700 yuan. Benle is good at making seawater wheels, while Figo has a clear advantage in fly fishing wheels, and has won the ICAST Best Fly Fishing Wheel many times. Fly fishing reels are a kind of spinning wheels, which are called fly fishing reels, which means that they are most suitable for fly fishing. The reason why Figo Supreme won the 2017 ICAST Best Fly Fishing Wheel is mainly because it was designed with fly fishing in mind, which generally uses hollow fishing lines and has variable diameters (thinner line heads, slightly thicker middles), which require larger notches than ordinary spinning wheels. In addition, the rear of the Supreme spool is sealed to protect the angler's fingers when fighting large objects. It also comes with standard fixed feet that are able to apply equal pressure on both sides of the spool, resulting in...

  • TOP.7 TICA Dija

    TICA Dija chekiang

    Dijia originated in Taiwan, China, in 1980 began to produce fishing gear, has been Japan's Dayiwa and Sweden's Abu and other first-line brand OEM products, the manufacturing process is relatively mature, the exclusive research and development of the control framework concept is stable and efficient, has become the object of imitation by many domestic manufacturers. At present, Dijia is participating in the formulation of the national light industry standard "Drum Fishing Reel", but it is still the mainstream spinning wheel that has established its position. Among the domestic fishing reel manufacturers that mainly target the mass market, Dijia, Wolf King, and Guangwei have the widest audience, and their main products do not exceed 300 yuan, and Guangwei is down to 50 yuan. In this case, Dijia still insists on launching a powerful model TG series that starts at 1200 yuan, which is very unusual. From the perspective of comprehensive performance, there is still a big gap between the TG series and the top models of Shimano and Dayiwo, but it has two structures that are praised by fishing friends at home and abroad: first, the powerful stainless steel cutting main gear, which is comparable to that of Dayiwo on the flagship model; The second is the smooth shaking twist shaft, and the wiring effect is better than that of products at the same price on the market. It is a little regrettable that in the light of the triumvirate of fishing reels...

  • TOP.8 Wolf King

    Wolf King Taiwan

    Wolf King belongs to the fishing reel giant Baoxiong, from 1995 began to produce fishing reels, strong technical reserves, in the main mass market brand research and development strength is second only to Dijia, on the after-sales service, the wolf king is also slightly better. Similar to most domestic manufacturers, the wolf king also mainly promotes spinning wheels, and its business focus is on the model of 70-300 yuan, but the three giants of fishing reels have launched a lot of remarkable series at the price of 200-300 yuan, in contrast, the wolf king does not have an obvious price advantage, therefore, the price of 100-200 yuan has become a battleground. The main reason why Wolf King and Dijia stand out is that they offer a higher configuration, specifically the fact that they have more wheel ball bearings in the same price range. The wolf king is priced at about 170 yuan, and the wolf is equipped with 12 ball bearings, and there is no model on the market that can match it. However, the evaluation of the braking performance of a wheel should also comprehensively consider the material of the bearing and whether the layout is reasonable, from this point of view, there is still a certain gap between the wolf king and Dijia, but the basic ...

  • TOP.9 GW Guangwei

    GW Guangwei Shandong

    As a leading domestic fishing gear enterprise, Guangwei had made efforts on high-end fishing reels in the early days, but with little success, and did not prevent the three giants of fishing reels from dominating the market. At present, Guangwei has reduced the R&D investment and technical research of fishing reels, and is mainly engaged in cost-effective spinning wheels, with prices below 150 yuan, and the market performance is acceptable. Anglers tend to buy the style with the largest number of ball bearings when choosing a fishing reel to ensure the braking performance of the wheel. But this principle is only applicable to the same brand of products, comparing different brands of wheels can not only talk about the number of bearings, but also consider the material, layout and installation accuracy of the bearings, which are closely related to the manufacturer's R & D and manufacturing strength. Although Guangwei encountered Waterloo on high-end wheels, the quality control of its basic wheels is above the level line, and the GW.HA equipped with only 5 ball bearings can still meet the daily fishing needs. Guangwei spinning wheels are equipped with engineering plastic bodies as standard, and on the whole, their weight is much lighter than similar products on the market. GW.GB 3000, which costs about 100 yuan, only weighs 250g, while the products of the same level as Dijia and Wolf King generally exceed 300g.
