Our decision process of what makes the best carp reels takes into account various factors including price point, cranking power, build quality and usability to ensure we can give you the best advice on factors that will make a 'reel' different to your angling, rather than confuse you with a load of specifications

Bass are powerful but are very short fighters

If you know your chosen mark has rougher ground, then a weedless version of a soft plastic would be an ideal choice, as the bass will be feeding around the bottom and that will be where you need to work the lure, the weedless versions just help reduce the lure snagging up when retrieving

And not only does this reel win our Best Spinning Reel Under $50 award, but it also costs less than $40
