SWIMBAIT FISHING REELS
By: Matt Spencer

 

Not all are made for fishing swimbaits. You need a reel that will handle the weight and size of these normally oversized lures. Here are a few great choices from Pinnacle to get you casting swimbaits for the bass of a lifetime!

I personally use two different reels for throwing big swimbaits. My first choice is the new Pinnacle Vision XLT. With the 13 ball bearing drive this reel will definitely perform when using heavier baits. This reel has extremely strong gears which is what the strain is on when fishing heavy lures. The drag is very strong and responds very well when setting the hook on fish. This Pinnacle Vision XLT is also very light which can make a difference in feel and comfortability.

The reel I also have great confidence in is the Pinnacle Pro Select. Made of all metal, this reel is very dependable, and extremely strong. It is made for handling heavy offerings such as the swimbaits and also heavy spinnerbaits. Both of these reels are also loaded with Pinnacle's new centrifugal magnetic cast control mechanism. This really gives the reel the ability to make longer smoother casts when fishing heavy baits without the worry of backlash. Both reels are geared at a 6.2:1 ratio which is perfect for swimbait fishing reels.

Just keep in mind that the heavier your bait, the more quality reel you need to support the lure. You are not fishing for average keepers with a swimbait, you are looking for a big bite, so use a reel that will stand up to the test. Give one of these new Pinnacle Vision XLT or Pro Select Reels a try today, and take your swimbait fishing to the next level!
