We’re Ryobi Fishing Gear Manufacturer

I’ve been fishing for over 30 years, and I have to say, the Ryobi Ranmi Reel is one of the best investments I’ve made in my gear collection. Living near the coast, I primarily target redfish, snook, and tarpon, and this reel has handled them all with ease. The sturdy construction gives me confidence when I’m fighting larger fish, and the drag system is incredibly responsive. I was especially impressed by its durability—after repeated saltwater exposure, it hasn’t shown any signs of rust or mechanical failure. The first time I took it out, I was fishing off the Florida Gulf Coast. Within the first hour, I hooked into a 25-inch redfish, and this reel performed like a dream. The drag was smooth yet powerful, allowing me to play the fish without putting too much strain on my line. Even when the fish made a sudden run under the boat, the reel’s quick response time allowed me to maintain control without missing a beat. Beyond performance, the design is another highlight. It has a solid, comfortable grip, and even after long hours on the water, my hands don’t feel fatigued. The retrieve is smooth and efficient, helping me maintain a natural presentation for my bait. Another major bonus is the corrosion resistance—I’ve used reels before that started to degrade after a few months of saltwater exposure, but this one has held up remarkably well. I've now had the Ranmi Reel for over a year, and I’ve taken it on deep-sea trips as well, where it held its own against bigger species like amberjack and grouper. Whether I’m casting from the shore, working the docks, or heading offshore, I can always count on this reel to perform. If you’re looking for a reel that can withstand harsh environments and still perform like new, look no further. This is the real deal!
