Product Details and Uses

Angling Pursuits Sea Spirit 70 Sea Spinning Reel – Pre-Spooled with 20lb Red Line

If you are looking for an affordable, rugged, and “ready-to-fish” solution for your coastal adventures, the Angling Pursuits Sea Spirit 70 is a top-tier choice for the budget-conscious angler. At Gerry’s Fishing, we often recommend this reel to beginners or those looking for a reliable backup because it takes the guesswork out of the setup—it comes pre-spooled with high-visibility 20lb red line, meaning you can head straight from our shop to the shoreline.

Despite its entry-level price point, the Sea Spirit 70 is packed with features usually found on more expensive models. The Hi-Impact ABS Body provides the structural integrity needed to withstand the knocks and scrapes of pier and rock fishing, while the Saltwater Treatment ensures that the internal components are protected against the corrosive nature of the sea. The Computer Balanced rotor and Anti-Vibrating System work in tandem to provide a smooth retrieve, making it much easier to feel what is happening at the business end of your rig.

Examples of Where to Use

Pier Fishing: The 70-size spool and 4.1:1 gear ratio provide the cranking power needed to hoist mackerel feathers or small baits up high pier walls.
Beach Casting: This reel is an excellent match for 10ft or 12ft beachcasters when targeting species like flatfish, whiting, or bass in moderate surf conditions.
Rock Fishing: The “Hi-Impact” body is designed to handle the rough-and-tumble environment of rocky outcrops, where gear often gets bumped against the terrain.
Light Boat Work: If you are heading out on a calm day for some light bottom fishing or jigging for codling, the Sea Spirit 70 has the line capacity and strength to get the job done.

Pro Tip from Gerry’s Fishing

The Freshwater Rinse: Even though this reel is “Saltwater Treated,” the secret to making a budget sea reel last for years is a quick freshwater rinse after every session. Simply tighten the drag (to prevent water from entering the washers) and give the reel a light spray with a hose or under a tap to wash away salt crystals. This prevents the line roller and handle from seizing up over time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the 20lb line strong enough for shore fishing?

Yes, 20lb monofilament is a fantastic “all-rounder” for UK sea angling. It is thick enough to handle the abrasion of sea beds and strong enough to land most species you’ll encounter from the shore, including bass, rays, and larger flatfish.

Can I swap the handle if I am left-handed?

Absolutely. The Sea Spirit 70 features an interchangeable handle system. Simply unscrew the cap on the opposite side, move the handle across, and tighten it back up to suit your preference.

Why is the gear ratio 4.1:1?

In sea fishing, you often need more “winching power” than speed. A 4.1:1 ratio means that for every one turn of the handle, the spool rotates 4.1 times. This lower gearing provides the mechanical advantage needed to pull a heavy lead or a fighting fish through thick kelp or against a strong tide.

Does the red line help with fishing?

The red line is highly visible above the water, which helps you track where your rig is in relation to other anglers or obstacles. Interestingly, red is the first color in the spectrum to “disappear” and turn a neutral grey underwater, which can help reduce the chances of spooking fish in deeper water.
