Saltwater Baitcasting Reel Manufacturer & OEM Supplier
WH Fishing is a fishing tackle manufacturer in China, supplying OEM and wholesale baitcasting reels for fishing brands, importers, and distributors.
This 400-size reel platform allows buyers to select different retrieve speeds and reel configurations for their product ranges. Branding, color schemes, handle styles, and packaging can be developed according to confirmed production requirements.
We support sample evaluation, configuration selection, and bulk manufacturing for private-label fishing reel projects.
Product Features
Independent ON/OFF Bait Clicker
The independent bait clicker can be switched on or off according to the fishing situation. When activated, it provides an audible indication of spool movement, helping anglers detect line movement while monitoring a baited setup.
The clicker can be disengaged when audible feedback is not required.
Two Alternative Reel Configurations
Buyers can choose between two different mechanical configurations:
Synchronized Level Wind: The line guide moves in coordination with the spool during line release, supporting line management during casting and line payout.
Magnetic Braking System: Provides adjustable magnetic braking to help control spool rotation during casting.
These configurations are mutually exclusive. The synchronized level wind and magnetic braking system cannot be installed together on the same reel.
Three Retrieve Speed Options
The reel platform is available in three gear ratios, allowing fishing brands to offer different retrieve characteristics within one product series.
The 6.3:1 version provides a lower-speed retrieve option, while the 7.2:1 and 8.1:1 versions offer progressively faster line recovery.
Drag ratings, reel weights, and line capacities differ by gear ratio and are listed separately in the specifications.
Customizable Handle Configuration
The reel supports both single-handle and double-handle configurations, allowing brands to select the handle arrangement that suits their target market.
Handle and knob designs can be discussed during OEM product configuration.
