Product Information
The MAP Dual Feeder Reel is a compact mini-pit style reel family aimed mainly at modern feeder fishing. MAP lists 4500 and 5000 sizes, giving anglers a choice between a more compact setup and extra capacity for bigger venues.
The oversized medium-depth spool is the key design point, giving room for thicker mainlines without turning the reel into a bulky carp-style big pit. That makes it a neat match for commercial and natural-water feeder rods where casting distance, capacity and balance all matter.
The 5:1 gear ratio, 6+1 bearings and anti-twist line roller keep the specification straightforward. A line roller guard and double handle add practical touches for repeat casting, winding from the clip and keeping the setup settled during long sessions.
This sits best as a value feeder reel with enough capacity for stronger lines and longer casts, not as a specialist distance reel or a tiny float reel. The 4500 and 5000 options use the same core design, with size choice depending on rod length, feeder weight and venue size.
Verified owner comments are broadly positive around smoothness, value and the reel's feel in use. The 4500 and 5000 variants share the same design idea, so size choice is about rod balance, line capacity and venue demands.
