This entry was posted on 31st August, 2019

Fishing reels are constantly evolving and improving, particularly in terms of performance and construction. Freespool or otherwise known as Baitrunner reels are perfect for carp or specimen anglers that love to use self hooking and anti-eject methods when setting up your rigs. Advanta have evolved with the reel technology on the market, offering a host of features to get us and anglers alike excited such as a balanced rotor for a smooth, soft vibrating when cranking rather than the horrid wobble you get on some older reel designs!

The MZ Freespool Reel offers carp anglers affordable tackle without restricting on performance. Although you can choose your restrictions with this reel! Thanks to the freespool lever, you can choose to manually engaged or disengaged from the drag system with a simple switch! Anglers can use the lever on the freespool to switch from a hooked fish to swim away, allowing the line to be released/dragged out from the spool, (which in turn prevents you loosing your rod), or switch off the free spool drag to gain control and play the fish on the standard drag system (which is present on the majority of fishing reels).

To assits in the reeling in of a monster carp, the reel includes an anti-reverse lock so there is no backplay when winding the line in! In addition to the freespool drag system there is a reel, the MZ drags can also be fine-tuned for ultimate control using the ball bearing which offers a reduction of friction between the moving parts. Freespool reels create a smooth casting and trolling, the MZ freespool revolves the spool without any tensions in the line.

With so much control you expect a weighty reel right? Wrong. This freespool reel is considerably lighter than its big-pit siblings, made from a durable plastic ideal for when you have to regularly recast when surface fishing for carp in the summer. For this reason it is also a good idea to invest in a smaller reel, that’s why Advanta offer the a 50fs which has a line capacity of 0.35mm/160m and the 60fs with a line capacity of 0.35mm/200m. Despite the smaller size, both reel sizes pack a punch when fishing at mostly close-range and is perfect for anglers that love stalking.

The features do not end there, the MZ also has slow oscillation, meaning the rate of the spool moving up and bottom of the reel is gradual, meaning less friction as the line leaves the spool, improving your casting distance and accuracy. When the bail arm is closed on the MZ, the line can be peels from the spool with ease, however with a quick and simple turn of the reel handle disengages this function which is great for when you need to quickly react to a indication that your bait has landed a bite. This feature is perfectly accompanied by the gear ratio of 4.9:1, meaning one turn of the handle rotates line around the spool 4.9 times, quickly reeling the line in once a fish bites. To ensure you have a firm grip, the Advanta reel is finished with an ergonomic handle grip, providing both comfort and security.

If that was not enough, Advanta also delivers the reels with a graphite spool that comes with a line clip, keeping it all in place when in transit as well as providing a spare spool with this product!

So if you are in need of a new reel at an affordable cost or you just want to add to your fishing collection, test out the MZ freespool reel that is wealthy in features but considerable in cost.
