But that&#8217;s not exactly realistic for most people, so here are some amazing big-pit reels that offer high-end performance but won&#8217;t break the bank:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><thead><tr><th>Fishing Reel<\/th><th>Price<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td><strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/43ufHEp\">Daiwa Windcast\u00a0<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Check Current Price<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/43a7Hbg\">Fox EOS 12000\/Fox EOS 12000 FS<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Check Current Price<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/45H2vxs\">Shimano Ulteraga XTD<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Check Current Price<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3qlftAD\">Shimano Baitrunner XT-B LC<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Check Current Price<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/42geSgE\">Okuma CB-60<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Check Current Price<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3C3Bzdv\">Wychwood Riot 65S<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Check Current Price<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong><strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3oypOJ4\">Diawa Tournament S 5000T<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Check Current Price<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center\" id=\"Diawa-Windcast-BR\">Diawa Windcast&nbsp;BR<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h4>Performance<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The Diawa Windcast is another example of a nearly perfect Big-pit reel. It\u2019s fully kitted out with the most premium materials and technology which results in a reel that is uncompromised in strength and capability. The cranking power on this reel is massive, it can retrieve line incredibly quickly which is very useful, especially as the Windcast comes in a Spod\/Marker version. Every function on the reel is calculated, and precise and allows the angler maximum control and flexibility when playing a fish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4>Value<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s no way around the fact that the Diawa Windcast is an expensive reel and for most people, I don\u2019t think it\u2019s the best value for money. However, if you\u2019re after a top-performing reel your initial investment will likely prevent you from continuously having to switch or upgrade reels. The Windcast is built to last, it\u2019s a purchase that will only be made once and will then hopefully last several years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4>Quality<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>As we\u2019ve mentioned many times before, Diawa always comes through with quality. The materials are premium which results in a large but lightweight reel which helps when casting large distances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"is-layout-flex wp-container-3 wp-block-columns\">\n<div class=\"is-layout-flow wp-block-column\">\n<p class=\"has-text-color\" style=\"color:#0e7800\"><strong>Pros: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>High Quality <\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Fast Line Retrieval <\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Great Cranking Power<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"is-layout-flow wp-block-column\">\n<p class=\"has-vivid-red-color has-text-color\"><strong>Cons:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Shiny Spool Picks Up Scratches <\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center\" id=\"Fox-EOS-12000-\/-Fox-EOS-12000-FS\">Fox EOS 12000&nbsp;\/&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2XlHUun\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Fox EOS 12000 FS<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h4>Performance<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The performance on the Fox EOS 12000 is also astonishing, this reel is a workhorse with some serious cranking power that holds up in the toughest of situations. Although it\u2019s not the lightest Big-pit we\u2019ve tested, it is probably one of the toughest and is built of high-quality graphite that is designed to last. The retrieval on the Fox EOS 12000 is very smooth and fast and the line lay is almost perfect because of Fox\u2019s Mesh-Tec gearing system, this reel is a joy to cast and play fish with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Fox EOS 12000 however also comes in a free-spool version, the Fox EOS 12000 FS. The \u201cFS\u201d stands for free-spool which is a multi-drag system. A free-spool system allows you to have two drag settings, take for example you can use a very slack drag setting when you\u2019re rods are on the bank so they don\u2019t get pulled in and when you are fighting the fish you can change the drag by the flick of a switch to your fighting drag setting which will make it harder for the fish to strip line. However, having the free-spool version of this reel does mean that it is also heavier, the standard version is just 744 grams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4>Value<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>To be honest we\u2019ve been looking at this reel from a number of aspects now and we just can\u2019t figure out why this thing is so cheap! It\u2019s actually unbelievable how well-built and equipped it is and it only costs shy of one hundred pounds which really isn&#8217;t much for a reel of this caliber. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4>Quality<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The Fox EOS 12000 and 12000FS are both incredibly well-built reels, the components are all very solid yet the reel still remains surprisingly light for its size. Overall, very robust, reliable, and nicely finished.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"is-layout-flex wp-container-6 wp-block-columns\">\n<div class=\"is-layout-flow wp-block-column\">\n<p class=\"has-text-color\" style=\"color:#0e7800\"><strong>Pros: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Excellent Line Lay <\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Reasonbly Priced <\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Relatively Lightweight<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"is-layout-flow wp-block-column\">\n<p class=\"has-vivid-red-color has-text-color\"><strong>Cons:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>The FS Version Is Only Slightly More Expensive Making An Arguement Difficult For The Standard Reel<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center\" id=\"Shimano-Ulterga-XTD\">Shimano Ulterga XTD<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h4>Performance<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the main reasons we have the Shimano Ulterga XTD near the top of our list is the perfect line due to the incredibly slow&nbsp;oscillations&nbsp;in this reel. We\u2019ve compared it to reels double its price and we&nbsp;seriously&nbsp;can\u2019t tell much, if any difference. It is perfect for casting long distances and targeting those larger fish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fights are also incredibly exciting on Shimano Ulterga XTD (which is important). It still is very fun when fighting fish but it also provides&nbsp;plenty&nbsp;of control and it performs excellently in most&nbsp;circumstances, you have a great sense of&nbsp;maneuverability&nbsp;with this reel (this does also depend on what rod you\u2019re using).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4>Value<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The Shimano is one of the more expensive reels on this list but for good reason, it is equipped top to bottom with&nbsp;high-quality&nbsp;features. We think at this price range, the Shimano Ulteraga XTD is the best big pit reel in the world, if there is a better big pit at this price bracket, we are yet to try it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4>Quality<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>As always from Shimano, the quality is on point for a reel of this price point, with premium materials and an immaculate finish. Another feature we love about this reel is the&nbsp;design, we love where Shimano has taken this reel. It comes with a stunning matt black&nbsp;finish&nbsp;with a very simple and&nbsp;minimalistic&nbsp;design. It\u2019s quite&nbsp;subtle&nbsp;but also stylish, we don\u2019t think are many reels out there that can match it for looks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"is-layout-flex wp-container-9 wp-block-columns\">\n<div class=\"is-layout-flow wp-block-column\">\n<p class=\"has-text-color\" style=\"color:#0e7800\"><strong>Pros: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Great Quality &amp; Well Finished<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Slow Osscillations <\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Plenty Of Cranking Power<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"is-layout-flow wp-block-column\">\n<p class=\"has-vivid-red-color has-text-color\"><strong>Cons:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>The Quick Drag Can Be Complacent At Times<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center\" id=\"Shimano-Baitrunner-XT-B-LC\">Shimano Baitrunner XT-B LC<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h4>Performance<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>We love Shimano\u2019s baitrunner line-up as they cater to&nbsp;nearly every fishing situation. Models like the 4000FB are perfect for commercial fisheries and monsters like the XT-B LC (Long-Cast) and brilliant for, as the name suggests, distance casting. The large AR-C spool brings super slow oscillations to the XT-B LC which allows you to cast longer and to help to bring that line in quickly, the reel has massive cranking power. As well as this the spool ensures immaculate line lay which keeps the line uniform and in good condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4>Value<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019d say with the XT-B, you get what you pay for. The reel isn&#8217;t priced particularly low but it doesn\u2019t need to be because it offers enough features and technology to make it a justifiable purchase if you\u2019re going to make use of its ability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4>Quality<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Shimano\u2019s been producing quality carp reels for many years and we\u2019ve never seen or experienced any difficulties with quality. Everything always seems to be simple, functional, and robust. The XT-B is no different from the rest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"is-layout-flex wp-container-12 wp-block-columns\">\n<div class=\"is-layout-flow wp-block-column\">\n<p class=\"has-text-color\" style=\"color:#0e7800\"><strong>Pros: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Draws A Lot Of Great Attributes From The Standard Baitrunner <\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Top Quality <\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Large Spool Allows For Slow Osscilations &amp; Great Line Lay<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"is-layout-flow wp-block-column\">\n<p class=\"has-vivid-red-color has-text-color\"><strong>Cons:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Quite Expensive<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center\" id=\"Okuma-CB-60\">Okuma CB-60<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h4>Performance<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>We first started using Okuma reels around seven or eight years ago and we\u2019ve been in love with them since. Every Okuma we\u2019ve used and tested has been robust, reliable, and excellent out on the lake and the CB-60 is no exception. The drag is incredibly smooth as are all the parts on this reel and it feels much more expensive than it really is, we find it hard to believe that these things are so cheap!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4>Value<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019d expect at such a&nbsp;low price that the reel has some sort of&nbsp;trade-off, but that\u2019s not the case with the CB-60, it has good cranking power and once you pick it up, it\u2019s easy to tell that it\u2019s built to last. The CB-60 is also quite compact and therefore making it relatively light compared to other big pits, it only weighs 570 grams!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4>Quality<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Another one of the main reasons we love this reel is because of its gorgeous aesthetics, Big-pits don\u2019t come much better looking than this. It has an awesome retro look, finished with classy matt black paint and a beautiful dark wooden handle. Out of all the big pits we\u2019ve used over the years, this has to be one of the best looking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"is-layout-flex wp-container-15 wp-block-columns\">\n<div class=\"is-layout-flow wp-block-column\">\n<p class=\"has-text-color\" style=\"color:#0e7800\"><strong>Pros: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Reasonably Priced<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Aesthetically Pleasing Body &amp; Handle<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Large Spool Allows For Slow Osscilations &amp; Great Line Lay<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Incredibly Lightweight<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"is-layout-flow wp-block-column\">\n<p class=\"has-vivid-red-color has-text-color\"><strong>Cons:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Slightly Behind Some Of These Other Reals In Terms Of Performance &amp; Quality <\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center\" id=\"Wychwood-Riot-65S\"><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2KtcuiB\" target=\"_blank\">Wychwood Riot 65S<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h4>Performance<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Like a lot of Big-pit&nbsp;reels, the Wychwood Riot 65S doesn\u2019t feature a frees-pool system,&nbsp;however, it does feature a very good clutch system that allows you to maintain control of the carp in fights. It\u2019s also a very enjoyable reel to play fish with, a&nbsp;lot&nbsp;of reels we\u2019ve tested work brilliantly but feel dull, this, however,&nbsp;feels alive and very real in fights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4>Value<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Compact Big-pits have become very fashionable among anglers recently because of their amazing capabilities and they are also often cheaper than&nbsp;full-sized&nbsp;big-pits. The Wychwood Riot 65S is a perfect example of this, it&#8217;s everything you\u2019d want your compact big-pit reel to be, it has an amazing casting capability, beautiful line, and gorgeous aesthetics (which matters a lot!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4>Quality<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s not something that everyone\u2019s accustomed to, but we personally really have these \u201ccompact reels\u201d. They look slightly strange at first but they\u2019re actually put together very well and show no signs of compromise from a standard carp fishing reel. The Wychwood 65S is built with the same premium components as standard reels, the only difference being the size.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"is-layout-flex wp-container-18 wp-block-columns\">\n<div class=\"is-layout-flow wp-block-column\">\n<p class=\"has-text-color\" style=\"color:#0e7800\"><strong>Pros: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Compact &amp; Perfect For Travelling <\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Aesthetically Pleasing Body &amp; Handle<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Large Spool Allows For Slow Osscilations &amp; Great Line Lay<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Reasonably Priced<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"is-layout-flow wp-block-column\">\n<p class=\"has-vivid-red-color has-text-color\"><strong>Cons:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Slightly Behind Some Of These Other Reals In Terms Of Performance &amp; Quality<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center\" id=\"Diawa-Tournament-S-5000T\">Diawa Tournament S 5000T<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h4>Performance<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The Tournament S 5000T is really expensive and it shows, it\u2019s a classic reel that has been re-designed for the modern angler. This reel is a powerhouse, with super slow oscillations, unbelievable cranking power, and a very large spool so that it can push rigs out to astonishing distancing with ease. It simply doesn\u2019t get much better than the Tournament S 5000T.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4>Value<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Its difficult to argue the value of something when it starts to become really expensive, the Tournament S 5000T is specialist gear and for a select group of carp anglers, it will be a worthwhile purchase. But for most people, spending nearly 800 pounds on a few fishing reels isn\u2019t good value and probably won\u2019t significantly impact your fishing. Its like trying to justify buying a sports car, its amazing but most people don\u2019t have the pockets for it and they won\u2019t maximize its capabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4>Quality<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>At this price, you get what you deserve in terms of quality, impeccable finishing, and attention to detail. The line lay on the reel is excellent, the spool is perfectly designed to hold large amounts of line, and there isn\u2019t much else to say. We can\u2019t criticize the quality because there\u2019s nothing to criticize.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"is-layout-flex wp-container-21 wp-block-columns\">\n<div class=\"is-layout-flow wp-block-column\">\n<p class=\"has-text-color\" style=\"color:#0e7800\"><strong>Pros: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Great Cranking Power<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Top Performance <\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"is-layout-flow wp-block-column\">\n<p class=\"has-vivid-red-color has-text-color\"><strong>Cons:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Quite Expensive<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Big-pit fishing reels tend to be expensive these days, they&#8217;re specialist pieces of equipment, designed for fishing at long distances for monster carp.
