Coarse & Match Fishing Reels

Coarse and match fishing reels are essential tools for those anglers wanting to pursue different styles of fishing in freshwater enviroments. While numerous types of fishing reels are available, each reel is tailored to specific fishing techniques. Coarse fishing, for instance, involves targetting non-predatory fish such as carp, bream, roach and tench in still or slow moving waters. Coarse fishing reels are designed for versatility, allowing anglers to present baited hooks and feed effectively to attract fish. These reels often have larger spools to accommodate heavier lines and ample capacity for bait and feed storage. Whereas match fishing is a competitive discipline where anglers aim to catch the highest weight of fish within a set time frame, often on commercial fisheries or canals and therefore require match fishing reels that are designed for precision and rapid line retrieval, enabling anglers to cast frequently and accurately. Melton Angling have a selection of coarse and match fishing reels from Shimano, Daiwa, Preston Innovations and many more top brands in the fishing industry.
