Dual speed reels

2 speeds

— reels with two different gear ratios: one of the speeds is usually suitable for fast line or line reeling, the other for slower and more powerful reeling. Such reels are often used when catching large fish. As long as it is passive and gives little resistance, you can use a higher gear ratio to quickly reel in the tackle. When the fish begins to resist appreciably, a shift to a lower gear ratio is provided to achieve more power and better control when reeling in. A lever or button mechanism is usually responsible for switching speeds, changing the position of the internal elements of the coil and, consequently, the gear ratio.
