Multiplier role

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Multiplier

As a multiplier role abbreviated multiplier reel is the first type fishing reel called, in which the coil using a translation faster than the crank, and at 1: 1 ratio, the same speed turns.

distribution

This type of roller was probably invented in England in the second half of the 18th century, but achieved its breakthrough at the beginning of the 19th century by the American George W. Snyder . In the multiplier reel, the spool rotates both when casting and when retrieving the bait . It differs fundamentally from the stationary reel, the spool of which is fixed. The stationary role is still much more popular in Germany than the multiplier. This is mainly due to the tendency of the multiplier to wig if the spool rotates faster than the line runs out during the cast. More experienced anglers have no problems with this.

In regions such as North America or Scandinavia , where mainly artificial lures are used, almost all anglers fish with multiplier reels. However, in the course of the boom in special techniques such as vertical and jerkbait fishing, German anglers are increasingly turning to these types of reels. The multiplier reels can be divided into throwing multis (also called "baitcasters") and "normal" multiplier reels. The litter multis are mainly used with spin baits (for spin fishing). The "normals" are used from the boat, where long throwing distances are not important.

handling

The contact with the bait and the feeling of fighting are much more intense with the multiplier reel than with the stationary reel, which is why experts have long preferred them. These reels usually have a star brake that is attached to the crank, as well as a so-called "thumbbar", a kind of button that is operated with the thumb and switches the spool into free-running mode during the throw. Modern litter multis have several independently working brake systems, the task of which is to control the speed of the reel during the throw so that it does not turn faster than the line runs off. Usually these brake systems consist of a friction brake in combination with a centrifugal or magnetic brake. These modern braking systems make throwing multiplier reels easy and pleasant. Under certain circumstances, you can even achieve greater throwing distances than with the stationary roller.

The handling of the multiplier reel remains somewhat more difficult than that of the stationary reel. Ejecting is much more difficult, especially for beginners. The "normal" multiplier reels are normally always used where they are advantageous due to their design-related robustness. Typical examples of this are deep-sea fishing in Northern Europe and the so-called big game fishing for large marine predatory fish such as marlin , shark and tuna . These reels usually lack a line guide, as they would not withstand the enormous loads during the fight of extremely combative sea fish when using lines that sometimes carry up to 60 kilograms (130 lbs) or not long enough. Normal multis with star brakes are mainly used to land small to medium-sized bottom fish.

For trolling, however, lever brakes are mostly used, even in relatively light equipment combinations (12, 16, 20, 30 lbs IGFA class). The lever brake is much easier and more sensitive to adjust during the fight than the classic star brake. In addition, a roller with a lever brake has larger and more stable brake discs that do not overheat so quickly. This is an advantage when you consider that even a medium-sized tuna often takes over 200 m of line from the reel in one go and can reach speeds of up to 70 km / h.
