Before you buy
Frequently asked questions.
Still unsure? Call +1-877-337-9591. You'll talk to a builder, not a sales rep.
-
Can electric reels be used manually if the battery dies?
Yes, nearly all modern electric reels include a standard manual handle. You can continue to hand-crank your line and fight fish using manual physical power if you lose electrical connectivity.
-
Does it ship spooled with line?
Reels ship empty. Free spooling service with reel purchase at our Pompano Beach shop — bring your line of choice. Most tackle shops will also spool with proper tension. We do not recommend spooling at home unless you have a line winder.
-
Does the digital line counter reset if I swap the battery while the line is deep in the water?
No, the internal memory retains your tracking data. The digital chip features a short-term backup memory that holds your current depth calculation during a quick battery swap. To prevent any tracking errors, it is still best practice to swap batteries while your rig is at the boat, but a mid-drop swap will not completely ruin your line count calibration.
-
Do I need a special electric reel rod, or can I use a standard conventional rod?
You can use a standard conventional rod. Because the battery integrates directly into the reel, there are no bulky external battery boxes or power cords to get in the way. As long as your rod has a heavy-duty reel seat that fits a standard conventional reel foot, it will mount securely without needing a specialized "electric" curved butt or component modifications.
