Monster Feeder Reels & Spare Spools

The Preston Monster Feeder Reels are designed for retrieving large, heavy feeders. They are suitable for feeder fishing with longer rods, distance fishing and powerful fish. Alongside the complete reels, this product page also includes individual spare spools for the corresponding Monster model.

Drag and line clips for control

The SD Speed Drag system allows you to adjust the drag quickly. The double line clip helps mark a chosen casting distance and repeat subsequent casts at that distance.

Both complete reels feature a 4.7:1 gear ratio and 6+1 bearings. Preston combines these with powerful retrieval for heavy feeders and understated branding.

Difference in line retrieval and weight

According to Preston, the Monster 520 retrieves 85 cm of line per handle turn and has a stated reel weight of 411 g. For the Monster 620, line retrieval is 105 cm and the reel weight is 428 g. The 620 therefore retrieves more line per turn, while the 520 is slightly lighter.

The stated line capacity is the same for both models: 150 m of 0.26 mm nylon. Therefore, do not choose based solely on the size number, but also consider the desired line retrieval and weight in combination with your rod.

A suitable spare spool

The Monster 520 spare spool is designed for the Monster 520 Feeder Reel; the Monster 620 spare spool for the Monster 620 Feeder Reel. A separate spare spool is supplied individually and is not a complete reel. These spools have the same stated line capacity as the corresponding reel. A spare spool is useful, for example, for having a different line ready to use.

If you want to fill the reel or a suitable spare spool with nylon for feeder fishing, Reflo Sinking Feeder Mono is a supple, fast-sinking main line. Match the line diameter to your fishing and the expected load.
