High Speed Spinning Reel

WH Fishing manufactures spinning reels for fishing tackle brands, distributors, and private-label product lines. The ZDT series provides a shared design platform across twelve models, allowing buyers to build a coordinated reel collection with different spool capacities and retrieval characteristics.

For brands developing a high-speed spinning reel range, the 1000–4000 models provide 6.2:1 gearing with several shallow- and standard-spool options. The 5000 and 6000 models extend the collection into larger reel sizes with 4.5:1 gearing.

OEM projects can focus on branding, spool color combinations, handle details, and retail packaging, subject to production feasibility and confirmed order quantities.

2:1 High-Speed Gear Ratio for Faster Line Retrieval

The ZDT1000SH through ZDT4000H models use a 6.2:1 gear ratio, making them suitable for fishing techniques where anglers need to recover slack line or retrieve lures at a faster pace.

Actual line retrieval varies by model, from 73 cm to 93 cm (28.7–36.6 in) per handle turn. This distinction matters because gear ratio alone does not indicate how much line a reel retrieves with each rotation.

The ZDT5000 and ZDT6000 instead use a 4.5:1 ratio. These larger models are included in the same product family but should not be classified as 6.2:1 high-speed reels.

Carbon Fiber Reinforced Body and Reel Foot

The body, main cover, rotor, and reel foot use carbon fiber reinforced nylon construction. This material arrangement provides a structural alternative to an all-metal reel body without implying that the reel is made from solid carbon fiber.

The integrated reel foot is designed to connect the reel securely to a compatible spinning rod seat. Its construction also gives the series a consistent body design across the available sizes.

Two-Tone CNC Aluminum Spool

The ZDT features a two-tone CNC-machined aluminum spool with a double-anodized finish. The contrasting metal colors create a recognizable appearance for retail product ranges and provide a practical starting point for private-label color development.

The series includes shallow-spool models identified by the SH suffix, alongside standard-capacity versions. Buyers should compare the actual line-capacity figures rather than relying on model size alone.

Screw-In CNC Handle with Machined Sleeve

The screw-in CNC handle uses a machined sleeve and a lightweight handle knob. This construction differs from basic folding-handle arrangements and gives the ZDT a more defined handle assembly.

The handle is interchangeable between left- and right-hand retrieval positions, according to the series specification.

Heavy-Gauge Teardrop Bail Wire and Line Management

A heavy-gauge, teardrop-shaped bail wire is paired with the spool seat and rotary balance design. The series also incorporates an anti-tangle spool seat intended to support line management during casting and retrieval.

These components should be evaluated together with the selected line diameter, spool capacity, and intended fishing application when developing an OEM specification.

Body, main cover, rotor and reel foot: Carbon fiber reinforced nylon

Spool: Two-tone CNC aluminum, double-anodized finish

Handle: Screw-in CNC-machined handle with CNC sleeve

Handle knob: Lightweight design

Bail wire: Heavy-gauge teardrop profile

Bearing system: 7+1 stainless steel bearings

Anti-reverse: One-way system

Line management: Anti-tangle spool seat and rotary balance design

The ZDT series covers several reel sizes and line capacities for different freshwater and suitable inshore fishing requirements. The 6.2:1 models are particularly relevant where quicker line recovery is preferred.

 

Freshwater Fishing: Suitable for spinning applications targeting freshwater species with appropriately matched rods, line, and lure weights.

 

Inshore Fishing: Selected sizes may be used for coastal lure fishing where faster line retrieval is useful. Saltwater exposure requires proper cleaning and maintenance; a waterproof or fully sealed body is not specified.

 

Explore Freshwater Fishing

The appropriate target species depends on reel size, line selection, drag requirements, and fishing conditions.

• Bass: The 1000–4000 high-speed models provide options for lure retrieval and slack-line pickup in freshwater bass fishing.
• Trout: Smaller shallow-spool models can be considered for lighter spinning setups.
• Perch: Compact high-speed models offer suitable line capacities for light freshwater lure fishing.
• Walleye: Mid-sized models can be matched with appropriate lines and rods for freshwater spinning applications.

Model selection should be based on the complete fishing setup rather than reel size alone.

WH Fishing supports OEM and private-label development for the ZDT spinning reel series. Buyers can use the existing reel platform while specifying selected branding and appearance details for their market.

Available customization options include:

• Brand Logo: Custom logo placement on suitable reel components
• Spool Colors: Two-tone aluminum spool color combinations
• Handle Details: CNC handle and sleeve finish options
• Product Range: Selection of high-speed, shallow-spool, and larger standard-ratio models
• Packaging: Branded retail boxes and product labels
• Model Identification: Custom product names and series markings, subject to technical feasibility

Minimum order quantities depend on the selected models, colors, and customization requirements. Final MOQ and pricing are confirmed after reviewing the OEM specification.

Explore OEM & ODM Services

ZDT reel production involves the assembly of carbon fiber reinforced nylon body components, machined aluminum spools, CNC handle assemblies, bearing systems, and bail mechanisms.

Key manufacturing and inspection considerations include:

• Body Assembly: Component fit and alignment between the body, rotor, and reel foot
• Spool Finishing: Appearance and surface consistency of the two-tone anodized aluminum spool
• Handle Assembly: Fit and operation of the screw-in CNC handle, sleeve, and knob
• Bail Mechanism: Movement and alignment of the heavy-gauge teardrop bail wire
• Reel Operation: Rotation, anti-reverse engagement, drag operation, and line retrieval
• OEM Appearance: Logo placement, color consistency, and packaging details against the approved specification

Inspection requirements and acceptance criteria can be established during order confirmation.
