Wychwood Riot Big Pit Reels

The Wychwood Riot Big Pit has been one of the most successful reels in Wychwood’s history. This new and updated version of the classic Riot Big Pit features all the same stunning technologies that made the original reel such a huge success, this time in a modern matt black with a dark wooden handle. Based on appearance alone, Riot Big Pit Black must be the dream carp reel for much of the modern carp fishing community. However, reels can’t simply be judged on appearance alone and the Wychwood Riot Big Pit Black has the credentials to match.

An out and out distance reel, the Riot Big Pit Black is ideal for tackling the largest venues on the world stage. This makes it ideal for those carp anglers who like to head over to the large continental waters to tackle the beasts that reside in their depths. It isn’t only the incredible casting power of this reel that sets it apart from the rest, however, and the Riot Big Pit Black has a number of retrieval features that make it the perfect carp fishing reel. Not least is the five bearings, plus additional roller bearing, that ensure that this reel is silky smooth to use. The micro-pitch multi-disc drag allows you to precision define the drag on your reel, enabling you to play the largest fish in the country with ease. The reel has also been fitted with an oversized main shaft. This ensures that this reel has an incredible amount of cranking power, available for use when the going gets really tough.

An anti-twist line roller and an ACS line clip ensures that you can fish with both monofilament and braided lines without incurring line damage. The Wychwood Riot Big Pit Black is supplied with a spare matt black tapered spool as standard and is available in both a 65S and 75S size.

In conclusion, Wychwood Riot Big Pit Black reel is a must-have for any carp fisher looking to take their game to the next level. It’s sleek black finish and strong features, make it a reliable companion on the bank and its long casting capability ensures that you’re always ready to fish with confidence. This reel is a great all-rounder and perfect for both novice and experienced anglers. Wychwood Riot Big Pit Black – the only choice for big carp fishing!

After taking a detailed look at the Wychwood product range, we were pleasantly surprised to discover some hidden gems. Their luggage is aptly designed and their rods are crafted with absolute perfection; however, it’s the reels that left us in awe of its quality construction. We assessed three different Wychwood reels: The Riot Big Pit Reel 75, Solace Big Pit 65RDS and the compact variation-Solace Compact Big Pit 55QD which works well with lighter test curve rods as it’s smaller in size.

Wychwood has been releasing some remarkable pieces of gear, and their reels take the cake. As mentioned in the video, these Wychwood Riot Big Pit 65s are unparalleled for their cost point – you’ll have to see them yourself to believe how great they look and feel!

These fishing reels are a steal in terms of quality and price. Not only will they outshine any other reel within the same cost range, but their lasting design ensures that it won’t become obsolete anytime soon! Plus, all the aforementioned pros make this an irresistible purchase. The only downside is its lack of brand recognition; however, if you can look past that minor detail then these reels should be at the top of your list!

A Riot Big Pit reel has become an integral part of many people’s Spod and marker set-ups, with some reports claiming these reels can cast beyond 100 yards. However, I believe that this remarkable piece of machinery is too good to be used exclusively for such tasks — if you’re able to make the purchase, get yourself the 75 model!
