The 5¾" General Purpose is a light reel used for spinning and jig and drop.
The 6¼" General Purpose is suitable for general ground- baiting and throwing bigger spoons and lures.
Then there is the Groundbait range covering 5¼" 5½" 5¾" 6" Medium Groundbait and 6" Heavy Groundbait as well as the Shark reel.

We are often asked what the difference is between Standard and Deluxe Reels.Basically the Standard reels are plain black DMC(Dough Moulding Compound)and the Deluxe reels are laminated with wood.Currently we are using Etimoe and sometimes Ofram.Older reels are most likely to be Kiaat.We hand select the best wood available.The wood laminate reel is aesthetically pleasing and make the reel more robust.
This is an example but they are available across the range.
