Hooking Monster Fish with Heavy-Duty Offshore Game Fishing Reels
When you hook onto a rampaging marlin or see that dorsal fin of a brute shark circling below, you need a fishing reel packing some serious muscle. At Fishing Tackle Shop, we offer a wide range of heavy-duty big game fishing reels for sale built to help stop ocean beasts dead in their tracks.
Serious offshore anglers know that landing gigantic pelagic fish like marlin and yellowfin tuna requires specialised fishing equipment. These hard-charging fish can strip line faster than you can yell “colour!” That's why our selection of quality big game reels from trusted brands like Shimano and Penn focuses on power and rugged construction to turn the tables on these monsters of the deep blue.
When a black marlin rockets off in a blistering run, you'll be glad you've got a reel with the cranking power to take back line and keep tension. Advanced lever drag systems ensure smooth, steady pressure to gradually tire out tenacious game fish. Durable reel frames and components can handle the jolting strikes, and drag-testing battles offshore trophy fish are known for.
Durability and heavy line capacity are essential for anglers who regularly tangle with sharks. Our shark reels for sale boast robust builds to help withstand blistering runs from these offshore predators. Fill the spool with heavy IGFA monofilament for the backbone needed to gain line on hard-charging sharks.
FAQs
Here are a few answers to some of the most asked questions regarding game fishing reels.
What do game fishing reel size codes mean?
Game reel sizes 30, 50, and 80 typically indicate the recommended line strength in pounds test. A size 50 reel is best suited for 50lb (24 kg) IGFA monofilament, while a size 80 reel matches up with an 80lb (37kg) line. This helps anglers select a reel with the right capacity and power for their target species.
What size game reel is best for marlin fishing?
A mid-large-sized game reel in the 50-80 size range for targeting marlin works well for most anglers. A 50 or 80 size generally provides sufficient line capacity and drag pressure to handle long runs from bigger billfish while maintaining a manageable weight for anglers. Our best-selling reel for marlin fishing is the Shimano Tiagra 50WLRSA.
Can you use a big game reel for land-based fishing?
While primarily designed for offshore boat fishing, big game reels can be used for land-based game fishing. Anglers who target powerful species like sharks from beaches and marlin, tuna, and trevally from rocky headlands can consider a game reel to pair up with an LBG Game Rod.
The crucial elements of strength, capacity, and drag power make game reels ideal for fighting big fish from shore or out wide.
