Why Choose Jarvis Walker Reels?
When it comes to durability and affordability, Jarvis Walker Reels are a cut above the rest. Jarvis Walker is a brand as Aussie as a stubby holder at a BBQ; generations of anglers have trusted its reels since Jim Walker founded the brand in 1946.
You’d be hard-pressed to find an Aussie angler's tackle box or fishing kit without Jarvis Walker in it in some form. The brand has started many anglers off in the fishing scene with its affordable hooks, sinkers, rigs, rods, and reels.
Jarvis Walker spinning reels have special qualities that appeal to many Aussie anglers, especially those new to fishing or looking to save a dollar. Let’s take a deeper look below at some of the standouts that Jarvis Walker Reels have to offer.
Built Sturdy – Perfect for the rough angler
Jarvis Walker reels are perfect for the "Destructo Angler" in all of us. If you’re the angler who drops your kit on the rocks, in the saltwater or throws your rod in the corner of the garage with little regard, buying a Jarvis Walker reel is an excellent choice.
Consider purchasing a Jarvis walker when you want a half-decent reel but couldn’t care less about reel maintenance. They’re quality reels that can take some rough stuff.
Modern appearance and feel
Take a fresh look at the latest Jarvis Walker reels for sale. You will first notice that their traditional utilitarian appearance has been replaced by ultra-modern, sleek styling.
If you once thought Jarvis Walker was a ‘plain Jane’, think again, or more to the point, look at the current range of affordable reels that have hit the market. Several models sport stylish colouring, ported alloy spools, and alloy handles with soft rubber knobs, all in a compact unit.
This is more consistent with models and brands with a far heftier price tag. (See each model listing for the model-specific info and features.) All for a price that'll make you yell, "Fair dinkum!"
Sizes for Sale
Not only are Jarvis Walker fishing reels hard to match for their price, but there is a range of sizes suitable for lightweight freshwater fishing up to heavy rock and beach-to-bluewater action. From chasing Whiting in the bay to Bass in the rivers with a 2000 or Mulloway from the Beach gutters with an 8000, Jarvis Walker Spinning Reels are up for the challenge. See each listing at the fishing tackle shop for a deeper look into each specific model.
Jarvis Walker Compared to other reel brands
Sure, Jarvis Walker reels won’t last forever. They may not sport waterproofing technologies found in some of the most expensive brands, but should you run over your Jarvis Walker reel with the Land Cruiser or drop it from the boat at 20 fathoms and subsequently trash the bearings, don’t panic since Jarvis Walker Reels are good reels that are priced affordably.
You can shop online here at Fishing Tackle Shop and add a new one to your shopping basket without causing any pain or at least very little pain to your wallet.
Consider this: You could invest in an ultra-high-quality reel for $500 plus from a high-end brand and still need to replace it a few seasons down the track, or you could opt for multiple Jarvis Walker reels over the same period and likely still come out on top by spending much less.
