Built for Distance Casting and Surfcasting Performance
Overhead surfcasting reels have long been the preferred choice of experienced surfcasters looking to maximise casting distance and maintain precise spool control throughout the cast. Commonly referred to as multiplier reels, they remain a popular option among serious beach anglers throughout New Zealand.
When matched with a quality surfcasting rod and correct casting technique, overhead reels can deliver exceptional performance across a variety of beach fishing conditions.
Why Choose an Overhead Surfcasting Reel?
Overhead reels offer several advantages for experienced surfcasters:
- Excellent casting potential when used correctly
- Direct spool control throughout the cast
- Strong gearing and cranking power
- Durable construction for harsh saltwater environments
- Popular among tournament and long-distance casters
- Ideal for anglers wanting maximum casting performance
Modern multiplier reels feature precision braking systems, high-quality bearings, and corrosion-resistant components designed to perform in demanding surf conditions.
Overhead vs Fixed Spool Surfcasting Reels
Overhead reels reward good casting technique and offer outstanding casting performance, but they typically require more practice than spinning reels. Anglers new to surfcasting often start with a Fixed Spool Surfcasting Reel before progressing to an overhead setup.
Many experienced surfcasters continue to fish both reel styles depending on conditions, target species, and personal preference.
Pair with the Right Surfcasting Rod
To get the best performance from an overhead reel, it's important to choose a rod designed to suit multiplier setups. The correct rod and reel combination can improve casting efficiency, accuracy, and overall fishing enjoyment.
