Baitcasting Reels

A baitcasting reel is a low profile reel with a spool centred between two side plates,
and a built-in star drag system. They feature a thumb button to activate
the free spool mechanism prior to a cast. The free rotating spool provides
less friction than fixed spool reels thereby offering greater casting distance
and accuracy. Control of the cast is also an advantage of this reel since the spool
first can be slowed and then stopped when the bait hits the water.


Below is a detailed list of various models of baitcasting reels
available through Thai Fishing Guide.

Shimano Antares
Antares is Shimano’s pride when it comes to baitcasting reels,
and there’s a good reason for that.
Apart from the Super Stopper and SVS systems to eliminate back-play in the handle
and control the amount of drag applied to the spool for avoiding backlash,
it also has some impressive features, putting this baitcasting reel
in a class of it’s own. A light-weight titanium shaft, wide but light-weight
magnesium spool and pure carbon drag washers just to mention a few.
A serious piece of freshwater equipment available with right or left hand wind.

Please note that use in brackish or saltwater will void warranty.
