Closed-face

Closed-face reels

Unlike a classic spinning reel, these reels feature a "cover" that encloses the spool. This is a real advantage when fishing in cluttered environments, as is often the case when trout fishing with bait. 

Ideal for trout fishing, these underspin reels are also suitable for other species, such as perch or pike-perch, particularly with finesse techniques, using soft lures or drop shot. Its compact and lightweight design makes it perfect for confined environments, such as small streams or cluttered areas.

Which closed-face reel should you choose?

The line release system

A lever located on the top or on the foot of the reel triggers a pin that releases or "catches" the line.

Drag smoothness

As with all finesse fishing, the quality of the drag is of central importance. A model with a progressive drag that allows the line to be released smoothly without jerks is essential.

Rod balance

Choose a reel suited to your rod, meaning a reel that will balance the rod.

If you have any questions about choosing a rod, the rigs suitable for your fishing area, or the type of line (braid, monofilament, fluorocarbon) to put on your reel, do not hesitate to contact us via our website, by phone, or by visiting us in person at our Ardent Pêche store.
