According to the fishing museum online it was probably the Chinese that invented the fishing reel around AD300 or AD400, but they didn’t come into widespread use by anglers in the UK until the late 18^th Century when they resembled brass winches.

Since then, as our large selection will show, fishing reel technology has improved substantially, and continues to do so as designers and manufacturers strive to make them ever stronger, speedier, more lightweight and generally enhance their performance.
