Tackle Week 2024: The year’s best new rods and reels for Canadian anglers

Best Smart Reel

IREEL ONE IFC

The iReel uses motion-capture sensors to analyze your casting to help you catch more fish. Simply pair the reel via Bluetooth with the KastKing app on your smartphone to learn how many casts you’ve made, the average distance of each cast and the retrieve speeds. That way, you can duplicate or alter your presentation, depending on what’s working. With a gear ratio of 7.2:1, the iReel comes in right- and left-handed models.
