Free spool reels, also known as baitcasting reels, are a popular choice for more experienced anglers who need precision and control when casting and retrieving their fishing line. Unlike fixed spool reels, which have a spool that rotates around a stationary shaft, free spool reels have a spool that is free to rotate during casting, allowing for greater distance and accuracy. They also typically feature a braking system that can be adjusted to prevent backlash and provide smooth, controlled line release. Free spool reels are available in a variety of sizes and configurations, with options to suit any angling style or target species. Here at Fishing Republic, we offer a wide range of free spool reels to suit any angler’s needs from well-known top-quality brands such as Shimano, Prologic, Shakespeare, and Westlake. So, whether you're targeting bass in a local pond or chasing trophy tarpon in the open ocean, a free spool reel can provide the casting accuracy and line control you need to reel in your catch.
