Test Roles Before Purchase

It is truly amazing how much the prices of fishing gear have fallen in recent years. If you wanted to buy a good stationary roll in the past, you had to put a handsome amount of money on the table in the fishing shop. Today, the situation is a little different. The price range has become much larger. On the one hand, there may be fishing products that might not be more expensive, but on the other hand, it is also possible to purchase relatively high-quality equipment for little money.

This is especially true for fishing roles. From prices of approx. 25 to 35 euros it is possible to purchase first-class rolls. It has been possible to buy stationary roles for little money for a long time. The prices have gone down significantly, sometimes rolls are available for less than 10 euros.

Quality Should Be The Most Important Selection Criterion For Fishing Gear
However, it is especially important to take good care of the cheap stationary rolls. Basically, it doesn't matter what kind of fishing role the price is in the fishing gear trade. It doesn't really matter if it's supposedly a spinning roll, carp roll or freewheeling roll: you shouldn't expect too much at prices of about 10 euros. The quality of these products usually falls by the wayside. The result is a short service life.

That's why it makes sense to invest a little more money in your own fishing equipment, so that you are satisfied later or you still enjoy your equipment for a long time. As has already been mentioned, it is not so expensive to buy good fishing rolls. If you are willing to invest a good 30 euros, you can already buy high-quality rolls.

Buy Rolls In The Fishing Shop or Online Shop?

It is always good if anglers support a local fishing gear dealer. A fishing shop usually doesn't have it easy. Many fishing enthusiasts often order parts of their fishing gear over the Internet because they can benefit from lower prices. This is especially true for the purchase of rods and rollers. These are not always cheap to purchase and often the price differences of the individual dealers are very large.

The question of what to do quickly arises. On the one hand, it is commendable to support the local fishing shop. On the other hand, it can be much cheaper to order fishing rolls online. Some fishing shops on the Internet are undoubtedly expecting the lower prices, so that the matter is decided relatively quickly, at least from a financial point of view.

However, it should also be noted that the brick-and-mortar retailers have completely different requirements. You have to maintain a shop, pay rent, have limited space. And the big advantage: You can watch and test the goods live before purchase. In addition, you often get good advice. Online retailers can set up warehouses and offices in low-cost industrial areas. A return shipment of the goods is often associated with costs and effort for the buyer. You don't actually get advice. First inform in the fishing shop and then buy online, By the way, I do not find fair. In the end, this will also destroy brick-and-mortar retail.

Select Stationary Rolls Correctly And Buy

Especially with the stationary roll, quality is already available at a low price. Nevertheless, it is important to compare the prices of the fishing dealers exactly.

When buying new fishing wheels, most anglers don't have to think long. In almost all cases, it is clear that a new stationary roll will be purchased. Other roles such as multi-rollers and fly rollers are only comparatively rarely purchased. Especially in Germany, almost the majority of fish is with stationary rolls and very few anglers make exceptions.

Strictly speaking, this is also easy to understand. Because nowadays the fishing market has a lot to offer, especially in this area. The modern stationary rollers are considered to be powerful. Even in the middle price segment, a high level of quality is offered, so that you can't do much wrong with a purchase. Only with the particularly cheap or the really cheap rolls one should take good care. With a price of less than 20 euros, you shouldn't expect too much. In general, it is advisable to avoid fishing gear (rollers and rods) better in this price segment. You would rather pay a few euros more, so that you also get a corresponding quality.

Where The Weaknesses Of The Cheap Fishing Roles Lie

Basically, there are a number of weaknesses that should be identified. These include, for example, the cord-catching brackets: In the case of cheap rolls, the handles are not properly fastened and are also flexible. We better not even talk about a proper balancing. Even with cord rollers, cheap materials are sometimes used, so that the fishing line (especially braided cord) can quickly eat through. Once cracks and sharp edges have been created, the stationary roll is no longer usable. The cord would be badly damaged.

A very important point is the braking system. The brake of a fishing roller must start without jerking and at the same time be precisely adjusted. In some cases, these properties are even initially fulfilled. But usually it doesn't take long for the brakes to wear out and you can't do much with such a fishing role. As a result, it is all the more important to focus on brand quality if you want to buy new fishing wheels. Whether freewheeling roller, carp roll or spinning roller, it doesn't matter: the quality has to convince.

The Stationary Role Is Often About The Price

It is quite impressive how little money you can put together a complete fishing gear these days. Fishing rods and especially rollers are already available at extremely low prices. Many anglers and especially newcomers therefore take advantage of the opportunity and cover themselves cheaply with fishing equipment. But usually the disillusionment comes after a short time: the fishing equipment does not promise what one wanted.

This is a problem that is particularly relevant to fishing roles. Especially stationary rollers are already extremely cheaply available nowadays. In the fishing gear trade, a number of roles are available at absolute low prices. However, it is often overlooked that prices also reflect quality. Really cheap rolls don't have much to offer from a technical point of view, which you usually feel quickly on the water.

In general, one should be aware of the existing price differences of the dealers. It is worth making comparisons and testing the roles before purchasing, so as not to be disappointed later.

Finally, an important note. Some stationary rolls are sold by the manufacturer together with a replacement coil. However, there are dealers who remove the e-coil or buy it separately. Especially with online shops you should be careful. The replacement coils are not always included, which dilutes the roll prices.

Freewheel Wheels As An Alternative For Carp Anglers

Freewheel rollers are stationary rollers with built-in freewheel function. The advantage is that, for example, a carp can remove the cord from the roll when the freewheel is switched on and the handle is closed without resistance. The freewheel is either switched on and off via a small switch at the rear of the roller or is already fully integrated into the coil (Instant Drag System).

Until a few years ago, the choice of fishing rollers with an integrated freewheel was not particularly large. To be precise, the selection was very modest. Many manufacturers of fishing gear had only one or two models in their range.

Why The Bait Cast Roll Is Worth Fishing

Many anglers shy away from the bait cast role. But the experienced spin fisherman knows full well that this fishing role has a lot to offer. So far, most spider fish use simple stationary rolls. In this segment you can now look at a very ready selection of so-called spinning rolls. The manufacturers of fishing gear have greatly expanded their ranges in recent years.

This development also concerns the area of so-called bait cast rollers. However, it should be noted that there are still relatively few anglers who dare to fish with these roles. True to the motto: "What the farmer does not know, he does not eat" many anglers remain at a safe distance, which is basically a great pity. Because many experienced spin anglers know full well that these fishing roles have a raison d'etre.

Anglers Should Test These Roles Once

It's really worth mounting a bait cast roll and fishing with it. However, it should be pointed out at this point that in such a case the appropriate spinning rod, namely a so-called bait cast rod, is also needed. The really good fishing rods, which come from well-known manufacturers, are therefore available in two versions, namely as spinning rods and as bait cast rods.

The high level of comfort when fishing speaks for the use of these fishing rollers. Even the ejection of the artificial baits is a lot of joy. The Baitastroll can be operated better with one hand, which is why throwing is just more enjoyable. It is also considered to be particularly comfortable. Especially when it comes to making underhand throws (when fishing from the fishing boat, you often have no alternative to the underhand throw), you will appreciate the comfort of a corresponding fishing roll.

What To Consider When Buying Bait Cast Rolls

Especially in the bait cast role, one should know that quality plays an immensely important role. Therefore, it is especially important to pay attention to the cheap models that are offered in the fishing shop. Even if they come from well-known manufacturers, they do not necessarily have to convince. Already many experienced spider fisherman has been disappointed. For newcomers, this poses a risk: you may reject these spinning rolls early, although you might actually like them.

Any angler who wants to buy a bait cast fishing role for the first time should therefore focus on quality from the start and better buy a middle or higher price dearly fishing roll. Only these fishing rollers show what comfort is actually offered. Especially since the roles in the purchase can be quite favorable.

Multi-Rollers For Sea Fishing

The multi-role is similar to the bait cast roll. And it embodies a fishing role that still has a raison d'etre, even if not many anglers consider it for use. In the first place, multi-rollers are used for sea fishing from the boat. Especially when fishing from the fishing boat, it can be extremely practical to have such a massive and at the same time strong role. It is considered to be extremely robust, is also salt-water resistant with good design and is also considered to be resilient. Especially when drilling marine fish, it is usually much easier compared to the use of stationary rollers. The easy draining of the bait into the depth is also extremely convenient.

When it comes to ejecting, it gets harder. Once the roller is opened, it leaves the cord off the coil. In order to avoid wigs, you have to coordinate ejection and opening with the right timing.

A Multi Roll Should Only Be Bought In High Quality

It is immensely important to acquire quality. In contrast to stationary rolls, the quality differences are usually much greater. Therefore, it is advisable to be on the safe side and buy a better model right away. Some newcomers may prefer to buy a cheap and possibly not quite as good role. However, he may not be happy with it. It is therefore better to buy quality from well-known fishing manufacturers. If you are unsure when choosing, you should seek advice in a good fishing shop.

This Is To Be Taken Into Account When Buying Rollers For Sea Fishing


  • You have to be able to rely on sea rollers when fishing. That is why it is all the more important to buy only high-quality fishing rolls.
  • When it comes to fishing at sea, most anglers (who have never fished at sea before and also do not have a special sea fishing rod) often find that they take their usual fishing gear with them or use them. The fishing device is trusted with a lot, which is often also justified – especially if one has decided to buy high-quality branded products.


Nevertheless, one should always be careful when fishing for the sea. Even expensive fishing gear can fail under certain circumstances. The fishing rollers in particular are considered endangered. The biggest challenge is seawater. The salt contained in it can attack stationary rollers and multi-rollers quite nicely. Damage can be caused even during fishing. If you do not clean your fishing roll immediately and above all thoroughly after fishing, it can be damaged in such a way that later use is no longer possible. In order to avoid such risks, it is best to fish with a proper marine roll.

Saltwater-Resistant Fishing Rollers Ensure Safety

There is no doubt that it is worth starting with proper sea rollers or so-called saltwater rollers. These rollers (whether stationary rollers or multi-rollers) are considered salt water resistant, which ensures the necessary protection. In addition, the conditions prevailing at the water and water are adapted. They allow wide throws, have large coils for the fishing line and the gearbox is considered to be resilient, so that difficulties do not get so quickly in the drill.

Please Buy Sea Rolls Only In High Quality

Basically, it has already been made clear that it is better not to take any risks with fishing rolls in general and therefore only buy quality. But just because a fishing role is offered as a saltwater roll in the fishing shop does not mean that it is really good. Quality can be recognized primarily by the fact that it comes from a well-known manufacturer. Interested parties should therefore get well informed or deal intensively with the topic and, if necessary, even seek advice in the fishing shop.

A Roller Bag Protects Against Damage

We have already mentioned several times that one should rely on quality when buying fishing rolls. So that you can also preserve this quality of the fishing rollers, it is worth to buy appropriate roll pockets. If you keep towing the rolls into your fishing bucket or generally rabiat with them, they won't last long. The shocks and shocks will affect it over time. In addition, it is ensured that the roller cannot get scratches or comes into contact with moisture from outside, for example.

Such protection is at least given if you use a high-quality bag. In this respect, it is to be promised that unfortunately not all roll bags offer good protection. This is partly true even for the bags that are enclosed by the manufacturers. It may therefore be advisable to switch to another model despite the existing bag.

Roll Pockets Made of Neoprene Protect Well

Particularly recommended are roll pockets made of neoprene. The neoprene material is elastic and can therefore ideally absorb shocks. At the same time, it is waterproof and also has a low weight. For storage as well as for the transport of most fishing rollers, neoprene bags should therefore be used.

Finally, a few words about storage. Of course, the best roll pockets and rod bags are of little use if the angler packs his fishing gear wet in it. Rods and rollers should always be dried. A transport can be quite wet, but afterwards it is necessary to the fishing things and the actual bags too dry. Moisture can attack the fishing gear under certain circumstances or at least lead to the formation of mould etc., which also does not have to be.

How To Find The Right, High-Quality Role

It will certainly say that some anglers do not have the possibility to carry out a fishing roller test. However, this is not absolutely necessary, because basically all the better fishing equipment coming from established manufacturers is tested anyway. Finally, the fishing magazines must also have something to report. In really numerous fishing magazines you come across device tests again and again.

It is worth studying the test results. It is easy to find out which roles are to be used and which models are better to leave your fingers on. As a rule, one can rely on the evaluation of the tests or the test results. The editors of the fishing magazines are experienced anglers who know exactly which points to look for. Basically, you only have to find the right test for the fishing role you are interested in. If you have one or more magazines in your subscription, you will of course have an advantage, because you will automatically stay up to date.

How To Test Fishing Rollers Yourself

If a test about the stationary roll or multi-role you are interested in is not to be found, another solution has to be found. It is best to visit a fishing shop. With a little luck, the role you might want to buy is even available. Taking your hands on them in the fishing shop is basically a good idea. In this way, you can get a good impression. If the role is not available, you should ask the trader if he would order it, regardless of whether or not you acquire the role later. With a bit of luck, the trader agrees.

If this possibility does not exist, you do not have to give up. After all, there is the Internet. In the meantime, fishing blogs and fishing forums have a wide selection of articles and reports. If fishing roles that you are interested in have been available for a while, you will certainly come across testimonials and test reports or personal opinions and test results of other anglers. If not, you should listen and open up appropriate postings: On the right pages you are guaranteed help.
