Front spools between 4000-6000 sizes
The front-end spool is one of the most popular types of spool, thanks to its versatility and ease of use. But what exactly does it mean to have a spool with a front brake? What methods can they be used for? Well, the brake system of a front brake spool is located in the spool drum itself and the system itself is mostly made up of metal and plastic or metal and textile plates, which are clamped together to provide different brake forces. The answer to the second question is a bit simpler: apart from the artificial reel and the casting, depending on the type, it is practically all of them. The differences are found in size, weight, drum design and bearing arrangement. The 4000 spools are already used for the larger river catfish and walleyes. It is worth having a good look around the range of front-end spools, as it is not easy to find your way around the huge selection, but you will find products from brands such as Garbolino, Prowess, Sunset and Haldorado.

Front-end reels have long been a dominant force in modern angling, and for good reason: their reliability, ease of use and versatility make them the choice of beginners and experienced anglers alike. The front-brake design features a braking system located directly on the front of the reel drum, making it quick and easy to adjust the braking force during the baiting process - a great help for precise, fine adjustments, especially when dealing with stronger fish.
The plates that provide the braking action are often made from a combination of materials - metal, graphite, textile or a mixture of these - depending on the characteristics the manufacturer is looking to achieve. This design allows for efficient energy absorption and ensures a smooth ride even during the wildest outbursts. Spools in sizes 1000 and 2000, for example, are ideal for light trolling, floating or snook fishing, while sizes 3000-4000 are well suited for method feeding or even for jigging large fish such as walleyes or small catfish.
It's important to note that most of the front-end models are designed for universal use: a well-chosen model can be used for a variety of methods. The key is size, drum design, gear precision and bearing arrangement. A quality front-end reel not only guarantees a smooth and quiet run, but also a reliable partner on the water for a long time.
Garbolino reels are well-known names in European tournament fishing circles for their exceptional sensitivity and durability. The Prowess manufacturer's products are specialists in carp fishing, and are particularly popular for fishing medium and large fish. Sunset is better known for its solutions designed for saltwater or extreme conditions, making it a great choice for sea fishing. And Haldorado is unbeatable on home turf: their reels, optimised for fine line and feeder methods, have been an angler's favourite for years.
If you're looking for a front-end spool, it's worth considering the methods you want to use, the water you fish most often and the size of fish you expect to catch. It's not just the size and line capacity that matters, but also the finesse of the braking system, the material used in the spool and the design of the crank. Choosing the right model can make every fishing trip more enjoyable and more productive.
