Baitcaster Reels

The Right Baitcaster for Every Aussie Angler

Get more control on every cast with baitcaster reels built for Aussie fishing. These reels are made for lure fishing where accuracy and power matter. They are great for dropping into snags chasing cod or flicking for barra near a riverbank.

You’ll find reels here from trusted brands like 13 Fishing, Rapala, Bite Science and Jarvis Walker. Choose from fast retrieve models or slow and steady ones. Each reel is packed with features to help you land more fish and fish longer without strain.

Reels That Match the Way You Fish

Some reels are made for long casts off the bank. Others are made for working lures close to structure. That’s why we stock a wide mix of models. If you want more stopping power look for the TX3. If you want a lighter feel for soft plastics check out the C2 or the Proton.

Built for Aussie Conditions

Fishing in Australia means you need gear that can handle both salt and fresh water. Some reels in our range are built with carbon frames that resist rust. Others come with big drag power to turn fish in tight water fast.

From casting along the coast to jigging in a dam these reels are built tough. Many models have tech made for longer casts smoother retrieves and better control when the fish hits. You’ll feel the difference after just one trip.

Are baitcaster reels hard to use for beginners?

They take a bit of getting used to but are easy once you get the hang of them. You control the line with your thumb which helps place lures where you want them. Start with a slower gear ratio and mono line for less backlash.

What size baitcaster do I need for barra?

Look for models with a gear ratio around 6 to 7 and a drag rating of at least 6kg. Barra can hit hard and turn quick. Low profile reels are ideal for flicking lures along banks and under snags.

Do baitcasters work well in saltwater?

Yes. Many reels here have sealed bearings and frames that resist salt. Models like the Concept TX are made for harsh saltwater use. Just rinse your reel after each trip to keep it in top shape.

Can I use braid with these reels?

Braid works great on baitcasters. It casts well and lets you feel every knock. Just check your reel’s line capacity. Thinner braid lets you pack on more line which is useful for longer runs or deep jigging.

What’s the difference between low profile and round baitcasters?

Low profile reels sit flatter in the palm. They’re good for long casting sessions and quick lure work. Round reels hold more line and are better for bigger fish or trolling. Both styles are used in Australia depending on the target.

What gear ratio is best for surface lures?

Look for a fast gear ratio like 7.3 or 8.3. These reels help you work lures across the top fast. They also make it easier to pick up slack when a fish hits and runs toward you.
