OEM Catfish Conventional Reel Manufacturer

 

 

Fantan Fishing manufactures professional Catfish Conventional Reels for fishing tackle brands, wholesalers, and distributors worldwide. The WH40 series is designed with an unsynchronized level wind system that reduces casting resistance and improves casting distance while maintaining smooth and even line management during retrieve.
Constructed with a reinforced metal frame, precision-machined brass gears, stainless steel bearings, and a multi-disc drag system, this reel provides excellent durability and consistent performance under demanding fishing conditions. Complete OEM and private label customization services are available for global fishing brands.

 

Key Features

 

 

01/

Unsynchronized Level Wind System
The level wind disengages during casting, allowing the fishing line to flow freely with less friction for longer and smoother casts. During retrieve, the level wind evenly distributes the line across the spool.

02/

Dual Braking System
Equipped with a 6-block centrifugal braking system combined with an optional magnetic braking system, providing stable spool control and minimizing backlash under different casting conditions.

03/

Precision-Machined Brass Gears
High-strength brass gears provide smooth cranking performance, excellent durability, and reliable power transmission. Stainless steel gear upgrades are also available.

04/

Reinforced Side Plates
Heavy-duty side plates increase overall rigidity and reduce frame flex when fighting large catfish and other powerful freshwater species.

05/

Multi-Disc Drag System
Smooth multi-disc drag system delivers consistent drag pressure with a maximum drag of 18 lb (8 kg). Carbon drag washers are available as an optional upgrade.

06/

Stainless Steel Bearings
Standard 6 stainless steel ball bearings plus 1 instant anti-reverse bearing provide smooth operation and dependable performance.

07/

Clicker (Line-Out Alarm)
Integrated clicker system provides an audible line-out alarm, making the reel ideal for catfish, paylake, and bait fishing applications.

08/

Multiple Handle Options
Available with either a power handle for maximum cranking torque or a double-knob handle for enhanced control and balance.

FAQ

 

 

1. What is the difference between WH40, WH50, and WH60?

All three models share the same gear ratio, drag system, and internal structure. The primary difference is line capacity, allowing anglers to choose the reel that best fits their fishing style and target species.

2. Does the reel feature a synchronized level wind system?

No. The WH40 series uses an unsynchronized level wind system, which reduces friction during casting and improves casting distance while ensuring even line lay during retrieve.

3. What braking system does this reel use?

The reel comes standard with a 6-block centrifugal braking system and can also be configured with an optional magnetic braking system.

4. Can I customize the reel for my own fishing brand?

Yes. We provide full OEM services including logo printing, custom colors, bearing upgrades, drag system upgrades, handle options, and private label packaging.

5. Is this reel suitable for saltwater fishing?

The reel is primarily designed for freshwater catfish and paylake fishing but can also be used in light inshore saltwater environments with proper cleaning and maintenance after use.
