Description
The specimen BR 9-40 and smaller Carp Method BR 9-30 reels are an excellent choice for anglers wanting all the advantages of a freespool facility, but on a smaller reel body. The freespool system allows line to be taken by a fish until you engage the rear lever. A design widely used by specimen anglers targeting large carp and barbel, but has also become increasingly popular for general coarse fishing applications. There is also a growing trend for freespool type reels when targeting match-sized carp on commercial fisheries - particularly with bomb and method feeder tactics.
Each model comes with an alloy spool as standard plus a shallower composite spool and a useful set of line identification buttons.

Questions and Answers
Q
Would this reel take 12lb line and if so how much? Also is it designed for the drennan series 7 avon rod * Kind regards R
A
Hi Ray, thanks for the question. It will take 12lb line but how much would depend on the diameter. I would say around 90-100m approximately. It would be fine on that rod also. Hope this helps. Regards, Tackleuk.

I don't think enough match anglers appreciate the benefits of a freespool reel, but I've been using them for several years now. There particularly good for bomb-and-pellet work or underarming a Method feeder on the pole line. Simply engage the freespool lever and a big fish wont smash you up on the take. Its a much better system than loosening up the rear drag like some people do. Up to recently I was using some old Shimano 4000 DLs but I've now switched over to Drennan Series 7 BR 9-30s and 9-40s. Even if you don't use the freespool mechanism there a solid feeder reel in their own right. There perhaps too cheap for some of the tackle tarts I know but I honestly cannot fault them.
