How they are rated depends on the brand of reel. As an example, a size 1000 reel is the same as another brand&#8217;s size 10, or a 3500 size reel is the same size as a size 35.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Shimano, for example, lists their reels from 1000 to 6000, whereas Abu Garcia lists them from 10 to 60. (10 = 1000)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Line Capacity Is Important<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to reel sizes, it&#8217;s the line capacity of the reel that is most important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>When purchasing a spinning reel for salmon, I recommend getting one that can hold a minimum of 150 yards of 10-pound test. However, as you will see below, how much line you will need depends on the type of river you fish.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Reel Size: River Size<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"506\" src=\"https:\/\/troutandsteelhead.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Best-spinning-reels-for-trout-fishing-900x-min.jpg\" alt=\"Three of my reels that fit into the best trout spinning reels category.\" class=\"wp-image-15257\" srcset=\"https:\/\/troutandsteelhead.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Best-spinning-reels-for-trout-fishing-900x-min.jpg 900w, https:\/\/troutandsteelhead.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Best-spinning-reels-for-trout-fishing-900x-min-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/troutandsteelhead.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Best-spinning-reels-for-trout-fishing-900x-min-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m not a big fan of giant reels for salmon fishing. I use reels suitable for the rivers I&#8217;ll be fishing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I see guys using spinning reels in the 5000 and 6000 sizes on small rivers, which I think is overkill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unless you are fishing large, fast rivers like the Niagara River or the big BC or Alaska rivers, where you may not be able to walk the banks to chase a huge salmon, reels of this size are not good. They are heavy and awkward when casting and when float fishing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>On a smaller river that might be 30 to 60 feet wide on average, I would use a smaller reel of 3500 to 4000. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On these smaller rivers, the salmon are often confined to smaller spots, or if they decide to run up or down the river, you can run after them. Therefore, you will not need a larger reel with a large line capacity like you would find on a size 5000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have caught plenty of 20-lb to 35-lb and even some possible 40-pound salmon on 3500 and 4000 reels. I have never had a salmon take all of my line, even on a 3500 reel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When fishing salmon on some of the bigger rivers or for guys that might be fishing off the piers, the best salmon-sized reels are 4000, 4500, or 5000-sized reels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Baitcast Reels<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Baitcasting reels are preferred for some methods like <a href=\"https:\/\/troutandsteelhead.net\/back-bouncing-for-salmon\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"16766\">back bouncing<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/troutandsteelhead.net\/back-trolling-for-salmon\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"16808\">back trolling<\/a>, and ocean <a href=\"https:\/\/troutandsteelhead.net\/trolling-for-salmon\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"14666\">trolling<\/a> for salmon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Check out the <a href=\"https:\/\/troutandsteelhead.net\/best-baitcasting-reels-for-salmon\/\">11 Best Baitcasting Salmon Reels<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The 5 Best Reels For Salmon Fishing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>These are the reels that I, other guides, and good anglers are using.

the best and can afford this reel then go for it, it&#8217;s a fantastic reel for both saltwater and freshwater salmon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Consider this reel in the 4000 model size when fishing for salmon around the great lakes in both rivers and in the lakes or on the piers.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn.kb-btns5840_163c8e-82{gap:var(--global-kb-gap-xs, 0.5rem
