What size spinning reel should I get for general Perth fishing?
A 2500-4000 size spinning reel is the most versatile for Perth. A 2500 handles bream and whiting in the river, a 3000 is great all-round for jetty and boat work, and a 4000 gives you extra line capacity for beach fishing and bigger lures.
Do I need a sealed reel for saltwater fishing?
For regular saltwater use β especially ocean, land-based casting, or boat fishing β a reel with sealed bearings and body is highly recommended. Salt spray destroys unprotected components. Always rinse your reels with fresh water after saltwater sessions.
Can you service fishing reels in-store?
Yes! Compleat Angler Nedlands offers reel servicing and can source replacement parts for Shimano, Daiwa, and other major brands. Bring your reel in and we'll assess what it needs.
What reel do I need for jigging in deep water?
For deep-water jigging (60-150m) targeting samson fish or demersal species off Perth, you'll want a high-speed overhead reel with strong drag β Jigging Master, Daiwa Saltiga, or Shimano Ocea are purpose-built for this demanding style.
