Spools over size 6000
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 little 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. Reels over 6000 are the most massive and the heaviest, making them suitable for sea fishing. 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. Take a look around the TackleBait Webshop, where we have a huge selection of front-end spools for you!
The front-end spool is one of the most versatile and reliable fishing tools, and can be used for almost any type of fishing method - from fine line fishing to trolling to heavy carp fishing. Its popularity stems from its simplicity and precision, making it an ideal choice for beginners, but professional anglers also prefer it for its sophisticated control.
With a front-brake reel, the brake system is located on the front of the reel drum, so fine adjustment of the brake is always at hand. The system is usually made up of different materials such as carbon fibre, graphite, metal or textile, and these lamellas are compressed by the user to achieve the desired braking force. This type of solution ensures that the brake gradually and predictably adds resistance during the rigging process, thus sparing the line and the fishing gear from overloading.
The range of front-brake spools is extremely wide, from the smallest models in the 1000-2000 range to robust spools over 6000. The smaller sizes are perfect for floating, light feeding or fine trolling, while the mid-range models (3000-5000) can handle larger carp. Sizes 6000 and above are designed specifically for powerful target fish, sea angling or extreme conditions.
The choice should take into account the power of the gearbox, the design of the drum, the quality of the bearings and the line capacity. Weight and balance also play a role: a balanced spool will tire you less over the long run and make fishing more enjoyable. Smooth running, no-rollback and precise brake response are now standard features on a mid-range front-end spool.
The models offered by Garbolino feature precise construction, rugged build and a clean design - perfect for the river or tournament angler. Prowess products are renowned for their reliability, designed especially for targeting larger fish. The Sunset manufacturer offers models specifically designed for marine and extreme conditions, where saltwater resistance, a robust housing and high stopping power are essential. Haldorado' s range offers practical solutions for feeder, method and general carp fishing, optimised for domestic conditions.
