REELS

Reliable reel selection for slow pitch jigging

REELS is a collection centered mainly on lever drag reels,
offering reliable options for a wide range of jigging situations.

Based on target species, depth, and fishing style,
we propose reels that are practical and comfortable in real fishing conditions.

In slow pitch jigging,
a reel is more than just a tool for retrieving line.
It plays an important role in transmitting underwater information to the angler
and allowing controlled operation during the fight.

At SPJ Laboratories,
we select reels primarily from high-quality Japanese manufacturers,
based on the practical demands of slow pitch jigging.

When targeting larger fish,
lever drag reels offer clear advantages,
such as the ability to free the spool
and adjust drag tension smoothly according to the situation.

On the other hand,
depending on the target size or fishing depth,
there are situations where reels without a lever drag are also suitable.

Lever drag reels are generally designed with relatively simple internal structures,
making them well suited for long-term use.

At SPJ Laboratories,
we propose reel selection from the perspective of choosing
the right tool for each fishing situation.

Simple Structure and Maintenance

The lever drag reels we handle feature comparatively simple internal designs.
This allows anglers to perform maintenance and adjustments more easily
and keep their reels in good condition over time.

By avoiding overly complex mechanisms,
sensitivity loss is minimized,
making it easier to feel jig movement and fish response directly.

To support this approach,
SPJ Laboratories also offers maintenance parts
such as grease and bearings
for anglers who prefer to maintain their own equipment.

Customization and Parts

Thanks to their simple construction,
these reels can also be fitted with aftermarket custom parts.
By adjusting components such as handles, handle arms, and palming cups,
anglers can fine-tune sensitivity and overall handling
to match their personal preferences.

SPJ Laboratories also carries reel parts
to support maintenance and customization.
Rather than treating reels as disposable items,
we view them as tools to be maintained, adjusted, and used over time.

REELS is a collection that allows anglers
to choose reels based on fishing conditions rather than reel type alone.

By considering your target and environment,
you can select the reel that best fits your fishing style.
REELS offers those options.
