Game Reels

A game reel is basically build up like a multiplier reel,
but of much more robust construction.

They all have a spool in a strong frame, centered between two side plates.

Most newer trolling reels are designed with a lever drag system,
with a strike zone as well as a maximum setting,
that can be adjusted on a preset finger-screw.
This allows quick and easy changes to the drag during use
and allows the setting to be returned to the original setting
after the fish is landed.

Some reels have two speed gearboxes making it easier to fight stubborn
and deep fighting fish like big Tuna and Shark.
Gear changing is instantaneous using a control on the reel handle,
which makes it possible to change gear at any given time during the fight.

Furthermore are all trolling reels designed with a often very loud ratchet,
informing the angler and crew when a strike occurs.
