Baitcasting

Saltwater Baitcaster Fishing Reels

Find a saltwater baitcasting reel that will help you master the art of inshore fishing with our unmatched selection. Saltwater baitcasters are placed on top of a casting rod so the line releases directly in line with the rod. This improves accuracy and range, letting you drop baits and lures where you want even in crowded fishing areas.

Other advantages of baitcasting saltwater reels are that they are durable, have a low profile, and are built to handle bigger fish. While baitcasting requires a little more skill than spinning, the reward is worth it when you're chasing large inshore stripers, pike, and salmon. With a little practice, a saltwater baitcaster will take a boring fishing outing and bring it to life.

Precision casting distance and placement matter most when it comes to baitcasting. You can get these with the help of the same premium reels that TackleDirect's expert anglers use. We have baitcasting fishing reels from industry-leading manufacturers such as Shimano, Penn, Avet, Daiwa, and 13 Fishing with unmatched power, smoothness, and efficiency. These reels can be used with monofilament, braided, or fluorocarbon line to fish any technique in any body of water.

The Best Saltwater Casting Reels for Any Anglers

Our saltwater baitcasting reels are built to last with watertight designs and quality construction from metals such as aluminum and stainless steel. Choose between several gear ratios, from low gears with high torque for big baits to high gears for jigs. You can also find baitcasting reels with variable gears. Some baitcasting reel models come in variations with distinct gearing, line capacity, and max drag based on what you want to catch. You may also have a choice between power handles that are easy to hold onto or paddle handles that offer an ergonomic feel.

With premium drag systems, maneuverability, spool tension, and control, the possibilities are endless. Most saltwater casting reels are available with the choice of right-hand or left-hand retrieve so anglers can dominate with their preferred hand. Some of these reels were featured at ICAST and other major fishing conventions. Use our search options to narrow your results based on brands, specific features, which hand the retrieve is done with, or if there's a deal such as free shipping.
