6 Recommended Spinning Reels for Sea Bass Fishing! Easy to use for other fishing too!

This article is based on a Japanese article and has been machine translated

Sea bass fishing is a form of lure fishing that targets sea bass fish near estuaries and fishing ports.

Sea bass fishing is loved by many people because the fishing grounds are close to their living areas.

There are many different types of spinning reels that are used for such sea bass fishing.

In this article, we will introduce in detail how to choose a reel for sea bass fishing as well as recommended products.

If you are thinking of trying sea bass fishing or other lure fishing, please refer to this article.

How to choose a spinning reel for sea bass fishing without regrets

First, let’s take a look at how to choose a seabass fishing reel without any regrets. Before you actually consider which one to buy, please take a look.

Size 2500 or 3000.

Choose a size 2500 or 3000 sea bass fishing reel.

The advantage of the 2500 reel is that it is smaller and easier to handle than the 3000 reel, but it is inferior to the 3000 in power.

For this reason, it is recommended to master how to move the lure with the 2500 size when starting out, and change to the 3000 size when targeting big fish.

Of course, it is possible to catch a large sea bass even with a 2500, so you can choose one depending on whether you value maneuverability or power more.

As for the thickness of line to be wound on the reel, PE line No. 0.6 to 1.0 is recommended.

A 2500 or 3000 spinning reel is also a good size for spooling a line of 0.6 to 1.0 thickness.

Waterproof and lightweight is recommended.

Seabass fishing is a sport that involves the repetitive motion of constantly throwing and reeling in a lure.

Therefore, when choosing a spinning reel, it is recommended to focus on waterproof performance and lightness.

Intense movement will inevitably cause seawater to enter the reel, but a reel with high waterproof performance will prevent deterioration caused by water immersion.

Also, a lighter reel may allow you to cast more times than you would with a heavier reel.

It is these small differences that lead to fishing success.

In this article, we pick out reels with waterproof technology from Daiwa and Shimano, and introduce the lighter models among them.

Both dedicated and general-purpose reels will work.

Daiwa and Shimano each have specialized reels developed for sea bass fishing.

Of course, those reels are the best option for sea bass fishing.

However, it does not mean that you have to use a special reel to enjoy comfortable sea bass fishing; a general-purpose reel is also sufficient.

In this article, we introduce both dedicated and general-purpose reels, so you can choose the one that best suits your budget and preference.

Also, because it’s a dedicated reel, it’s not only for sea bass fishing, so even if you want to enjoy fishing other than sea bass fishing, you can choose a dedicated reel.

6 Recommended Spinning Reels for Sea Bass Fishing

Now that you have confirmed how to choose a seabass fishing reel, let’s take a look at some of the products we actually recommend.

Recommendation 1: Shimano Exsence BB

The Exsence BB is a reel from Shimano’s Exsence series, which is aimed at sea bass fishing.

Among Shimano’s reels, those with the name BB are the best models for beginners, and the Excess BB is the first model in the BB series to be equipped with Core Protect.

Core Protect is Shimano’s proprietary waterproof technology that prevents water from getting inside the gearbox.

Other technologies such as “HAGANE gear” and “X-SHIP” provide excellent durability.

The price is about 20,000 yen, which is very affordable for its performance, and is perfect for those who want to start sea bass fishing in earnest.

Recommendation 2: Shimano Exsence CI4+

The Excessense CI4+ is a model that is one rank higher than the Excessense BB introduced above.

One of the most notable features is the lightness of the CI4+ carbon material.

Of course, it also uses Core Protect, HAGANE Gear, and X-SHIP, which were also used in the Excess BB, so it has excellent waterproof performance and durability.

Its lightness, durability, and water resistance make it ideal not only for seabass fishing, but also for a variety of lure fishing.

This spinning reel is also recommended for those who want to enjoy a variety of lure fishing such as shore jigging and eging at a high level.

The all-black color scheme is also cool and attractive.

Recommendation 3: Shimano Stradic 2500S

Stradic is not a reel developed exclusively for sea bass fishing, but a general-purpose reel that can be used for various types of fishing.

Its cost performance is a major attraction, and it has overwhelming performance for a reel under 30,000 yen.

Especially since Shimano’s pride and joy, the Micro Module Gear II, is used, the winding comfort is at its peak.

Also, “Core Protect” and “HAGANE Gear” have been adopted.

In addition, the silver-based design will easily fit in with any rod.

It is recommended for those who want to try not only sea bass fishing but also other lure fishing and bait fishing.

Recommendation 4: Daiwa X Fire

 

The X-Fire is an excellent cost effective reel from Daiwa that is a great introduction to sea bass fishing.

The body is made of ZAION, a carbon resin with carbon fiber woven into it.

It is both light and durable.

It also uses Daiwa’s famous “Mag Shield” waterproof technology.

Mag-Shield is a technology that uses magnetic fluid to prevent flooding, and has a structure with no physical gaps.

As you can see, the X-Fire is a reel with performance suitable for sea bass fishing, and of course it can be used for other types of fishing as well.

The light blue design is unique, so it is a good choice for those who do not want to wear anything else.

Recommendation 5: Daiwa Morethan

Morethan is Daiwa’s flagship series for sea bass fishing, and this spinning reel is also one of Daiwa’s top-performing reels for sea bass fishing.

In order to catch as many sea bass as possible, technologies such as “ZAION” and “Mag Shield” are employed.

In addition, it uses a body structure called a “monocoque body” that uses as few parts as possible to achieve both lightness and durability at a high level.

It is also one of the most luxurious in terms of design.

It is especially recommended to use it with a sea bass rod also named Moazan.

If you are serious about improving your sea bass fishing, please consider buying one.

Recommendation 6: Daiwa Caldia LT3000

The Cardia is Daiwa’s general-purpose spinning reel that competes with Shimano’s Stradic.

Like the Stradic, the Cardia is one of the best reels under 30,000 yen and is particularly attractive for its lightness.

Adopting “ZAION V”, which is a more advanced version of “ZAION”, the LT2500S weighs only 190g.

Even among reels priced higher than the Cardia, there are not many reels with a deadweight of less than 200g.

Another important feature is the use of a monocoque body, which is also used in the flagship Moazan reel for sea bass fishing.

This high performance will be very useful not only for sea bass fishing but also for various other types of fishing.

Sea bass fishing is a great introduction to lure fishing.

Sea bass fishing is one of the most popular lure fishing methods, and it is easy to try because of its familiar fishing grounds.

Also, sea bass fishing rods are easy to use for other types of fishing, making them the perfect introduction to fishing.

There are many such spinning reels that are used for sea bass fishing that are very versatile.

In particular, the six spinning reels introduced here are all models that can be used for various types of fishing while performing sea bass fishing at a high level.

Recommend Shimano Baitcasting reel Metanium

Shimano’s reel series “Metanium” continuing from 1992. Do you know how much reel named Metanium has been released so far? Those who started Bass fishing may have heard names such as “Metanium DC” and “Metanium MGL” once. Metanium is a reel series trusted by anglers for that long and gained high support. This time we will introduce theMetanium series!


Source:Shimano

What is Metanium?

Metanium was a Shimano reel series that began with ‘Bantam Scorpion Metanium XT’ which was released from Shimano in 1992. It has been loved by many anglers as a top model of Baitcasting reel that used Shimano’s abundant technology from that time. This time we will introduce the Shimano Metanium series which was named Metanium series.

16 Metanium MGL

Metanium MGL released in 2016. MGL = Magnum light spool has been subjected to lightening processing such as “blanking” on the side of the spool. Since the location far from the axis of rotation has been reduced in weight, the flight distance of the lightweight lure is improved compared to conventional spools. X-SHIP, micro module gear is adopted and finished in a smooth winding feel.

New SVS Infinity

While “New SVS Infinity” is a centrifugal brake, it achieves a brake adjustment range that can handle most situations only by adjusting the external dial. Adjustment of the internal brake shoes is not necessary if 4 brake shoes are turned on during casting. When finer setting is required, fine adjustment with internal brake shoe is possible. (The four brake shoes are on when shipped.) The durability has also improved greatly.

15 Metanium DC

15 Metanium DC launched in 2015. I-DC5 is carried and boasts stable casting performance. X-SHIP, micro module gear is adopted and finished in a smooth winding feel.

I-DC5

In addition to the 3-mode internal dial, the I-DC 5 can easily set the brake by selecting four semi-automatic & one step auto according to the lure weight with the external dial. AUTO covers up to the middle of volumes 2 to 4 of semiauto.

  1. A position suitable for a heavy lure with low air resistance such as large vibration and jig, 0.5 to 1.0 oz.
  2. Position corresponding to a wide weight of 0.3 to 0.7 oz, such as medium size vibration and spinner bait.
  3. A position that matches a lure of 0.3 to 0.4 oz with large air resistance such as minnow or shallow crank.
  4. Position that you can cast no-sinker worms and small shads, 0.2 – 0.3 oz lightweight lure without stress.

AUTO. Wide position to cover up to the middle of volumes 2 to 4.

Metanium DC lineup

The gear ratios are 3 types: 6.2 (normal gear), 7.4 (high gear), 8.5 (extra high gear). It is active in various scenes such as warming which needs early collection. (Extra high gear has long handle length of 48 mm)

Shimano 15 Metanium DC (gear ratio 6.2)

Comparison with 16 Metanium MGL

Although the spool diameter of Metanium DC and MGL is the same 1.3in, MGL is equipped with a lightweight magnum light spool, which is characterized by a good feeling of light cast lure. Therefore, if you mainly use the lure below 0.3 oz, the meta-MGL will have a more stable flying distance. However, because MGL does not have DC installed, 15 Metanium DC is recommended if you want to achieve a stable flight distance in overhead wind at 0.3 oz or more.

Comparison with Antares DC

Antares DC’s spool is 1.5 in, Metanium DC is 1.3 in, and Antares DC is superior in long cast performance of heavier lure. As a rule of thumb, people who use the lure below 0.6 oz at the main should recommend Antares DC if you would like to long cast Metanium DC, 0.6 oz or more.

Daiwa adopts the latest “LT concept”

The LT concept is an acronym for the concept of “LIGHT· TOUGH” to be launched by Daiwa. Weight reduction of the body, spool and handle has been aimed at, and it is regarded as a new standard that evolved the body material into a more tough one.

18 Caldia is a reel that not only has lightness but also toughness by adopting the LT concept.

▼ For the LT concept, please see here.

Article on the LT concept

“18 Caldia” realized further weight saving

18 Caldia has succeeded in lighter weight of 1 oz than the previous model by reviewing the body, handle, spool. In addition, since the center of gravity is a hip part, light operability is realized.

Adopted a new spool “LC-ABS”

“LC-ABS” stands for long cast ABS spool. We evolved into a thin aluminum spool and realized weight saving by reviewing the shape of the front of the spool. Compared with conventional spools, attractive performance is adopted, “Travel distance increases by about 5% + Line trouble is reduced by 10%”.

Until now, fishing with a hard Fluorocarbon line was mainstream, and the reel of a large caliber spool was a standard to reduce line troubles. However, by adopting a long cast ABS spool, even if the caliber of the spool was made small, it became troubleless, and we could further lighter weight.

Eleven models of 18 lineup of Caldia. I summarized each gear ratio and maximum winding length.
