Kosadaka 5000 B MX
Rating: 4.9
The appearance of this feeder reel is very similar to the exterior of the competitor (SHIMANO EXAGE 4000 FD), but structurally they are two completely different mechanisms. On the side of the Kosadaka 5000 B MX, there is both a cost parameter and a more 'expanded' filling, which allows you not to worry about the state of the model for at least five seasons. The reason is simple: ten ball bearings (+ one roller) play the role of supports for the shafts of a miniature transmission. And, as anglers note, the positive effect is very pronounced – the rotation of the handle acquires exceptional softness and smoothness.
As for the load parameters, the Kosadaka 5000 B MX clutch can withstand up to 20 kilograms of load (according to experts: up to 27 kilograms). This makes it possible to use heavy feeder lures and bottom 'baits' to attract trophy fish. Considering the extremely low cost of the reel, such a purchase will prove to be the most profitable and certainly the best investment.
Advantages
-
the ability to withstand large pulling and jerking forces;
-
low price;
-
pleasant design;
-
ten bearings in the mechanism, providing a smooth and soft handle stroke.
disadvantages
- not detected.
SHIMANO EXAGE 4000 FD
Rating: 4.8
A Shimano EXAGE 4000 FD feeder reel rated for top quality. Despite its small size and lightweight body, it has established itself as a very lively rig, capable of withstanding up to seven kilograms on the friction clutch. The line intensity of the spool is reduced (relative to competitors) and is 180 meters with a diameter of 0.3 millimeters.
The gear ratio on the EXAGE 4000 FD gear train (5.2: 1) allows you to quickly reel the line, forcing the bite moment and entering a stubborn struggle with aggressive fish (until the moment of blowing off). Thus, the only really significant disadvantage of this feeder reel is the cost – it is much more expensive than its opponents. But, as mentioned above, the price is partially offset by the high quality of performance – the rest of the markup remains on the conscience of domestic distributors.
Advantages
-
high structural quality;
-
optimally matched gear ratio;
-
precise adjustment of the mechanism parts, which guarantees an increased service life (5-7 years);
-
sharpening for feeder fishing and light bottom baits.
disadvantages
- high price.
BANAX GT Extreme-3000
Rating: 4.8
Spectacular GT Extreme series inertia, ranked as the best model in terms of power and ergonomics. It is based on the use of six roller supports, due to which it has an increased smoothness of the handle and does not have problems with the line coming off the spool. The load capacity of the GT Extreme-3000 is most eloquently indicated by the value of the peak force on the friction, equal to 25 kilograms. Thanks to this indicator, the reel is able to survive the attack of a trophy predator, be it pike, zander, large catfish or carp when fishing with a feeder.
Despite the heavy weight (about 600 grams) and the significant weighting of the fishing equipment, the model has good ergonomics and the ability to change the position of the handle (from the right side to the left). Among other things, it is beautifully customized: the combination of black metallic with elements of red always looks advantageous. An excellent reel with no obvious design and technological flaws.
Advantages
-
the maximum load on the clutch is 25 kilograms;
-
increased running smoothness thanks to six bearings;
-
traction gear ratio (4.7: 1);
-
low cost for a powerful feeder reel.
disadvantages
- not found.
SHIMANO NEXAVE 4000 RC
Rating: 4.7
The representative of a series of reels of the middle segment, the characteristic feature of which is the equipment of the rear drag. Despite some inconvenience of this design, the NEXAVE 4000 RC demonstrates excellent casting performance, for which it deserves a place in the ranking of the best. The rotating parts of the mechanism are supported by three ball bearings, which have become an unspoken symbol of Shimano. The accuracy of fitting and lapping the coil parts is so high that the normal operation life can reach ten years.
A nice addition to the kit of the original NEXAVE 4000 RC is an aluminum spool with increased wear resistance. This feeder reel has no drawbacks, with the exception of the same less familiar clutch arrangement. However, the fact that the cost is not the highest has a positive effect on its sales.
Advantages
-
high-precision casting, satisfactory range;
-
gear ratio typical for hardy coils (5.1: 1);
-
balanced price;
-
durability (5-7 years of moderate exploitation).
disadvantages
- somewhat unusual location of the clutch.
Daiwa Black Widow Carp 5000 LDA
Rating: 4.6
Feeder reel rated for best value for money performance. Belongs to the heavy class and is designed for catching large and aggressive fish. According to the official dealer, the Daiwa Black Widow Carp movement is based on a single bearing, but does not lose in the least in the smoothness of the movement compared to competitive models. The spool of the reel holds 530 meters of line with a cross section of 0.35 mm, which is the best result among the entire collection.
As noted by users, the disadvantage of the 'Black Widow' is its massiveness – it adds 675 grams to the total weight of the rig. Nevertheless, its large dimensions do not in any way reduce its convenience and in no way affect the softness of the handle stroke.
Advantages
-
sensitive friction, finely regulating line bleed;
-
smooth movement of the handle (despite one single base bearing);
-
capacious spool;
-
gear ratio guaranteeing increased traction performance (4.1: 1).
disadvantages
- heavy weight (675 grams).
