Overview
Piscifun lists this BRL005 model as a spinning reel in an 8.1:1 gear ratio, black finish, with an aluminum body weighing about 0.82 kilograms.
The product title calls this a spinning reel, but the spec sheet tags its technique as baitcasting, a mismatch worth noting before you buy. An 8.1:1 gear ratio and 0.82 kilogram weight both read as more typical of a baitcasting reel than a spinning reel, so confirming the actual reel type before ordering is worthwhile.
- 8.1:1 gear ratio
- Aluminum construction
- Black finish
- About 0.82 kilograms
Who it's for
Anglers shopping specifically for a high-speed reel around an 8.1:1 ratio, who should confirm with the seller whether this is spinning or baitcasting before purchase. Not a safe pick if you need a guaranteed spinning reel for open-face casting.
Pros and cons
- Fast 8.1:1 gear ratio suits quick-retrieve techniques
- Aluminum body construction
- Title and spec sheet disagree on reel type, spinning vs baitcasting
- 0.82 kilograms is heavy for a spinning reel
Performance notes
An 8.1:1 gear ratio means the spool turns roughly eight times per handle rotation, a fast retrieve speed used for techniques like topwater walking baits or fast-moving spinnerbaits. Aluminum construction keeps the frame rigid, though at 0.82 kilograms this reel runs heavy, another detail that lines up more with baitcasting reels than typical spinning reels.
