Spinning reels are a classic choice for spin fishing. Here you will find spin-fishing reels, along with select rod-and-reel combos, all chosen with L.L.Bean quality in mind.
To choose a reel, start with the size number and the line-capacity listing. Those specs help you match a reel to your spinning rod and the line you plan to spool up. You can also compare details like retrieve direction, handle position and gear ratio to get the feel you prefer.
If you already have a rod you love, a reel-only option lets you refresh or replace a key piece of your setup. If you want a simple matched pair, a combo puts a rod and reel together in one package, which can be helpful for new anglers, guest gear or keeping a second outfit ready to go.
Need the rest of your setup? Pair your reel with Spin-Fishing Rods or start with a complete Spin-Fishing Rod & Reel Outfits. For more essentials, explore our full assortment of Fishing Outdoor Gear.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What size spinning reel should I choose for spin fishing?
A: Choose a reel size that matches your spinning rod's recommended line range. Reel sizes are often shown as numbers (for example, 1000, 2500, 3000, 4000), and they are meant to help you compare overall spool and reel size. When you are between sizes, use the line-capacity listing to decide what fits your setup best.
Q: How do I match a spinning reel to a spinning rod?
A: Match the reel to the rod by checking the rod's line rating and comparing it to the reel's line-capacity listing. This helps you build a setup that makes sense together, especially if you are pairing a new reel with a rod you already own. If you want a ready-to-go pairing, a rod-and-reel combo does the matching for you.
Q: What does left-hand or right-hand retrieve mean on a spinning reel?
A: It means which hand turns the handle while you fish. Many spinning reels are set up so the handle can be positioned on either side, but it varies by model. Check the product details for the reel you are considering to confirm how the handle is configured.
Q: What does line capacity mean on a spin-fishing reel?
A: Line capacity is the amount of line the spool is designed to hold. It is typically listed as a length paired with a line rating (or as a line diameter paired with a length), so you can compare reel sizes and plan how much line to spool. Use the capacity listing as a simple spec for comparing reels side by side.
Q: How should I care for a spin-fishing reel between trips?
A: Follow the care instructions on the product page for your specific reel. As a general routine, wipe the reel down after use, keep it stored in a dry place, and avoid leaving it packed away with wet gear. Before longer storage, loosening the drag is a common practice many anglers use.
