The Japanese company Ryobi, which was founded in 1943, initially specialized in the production of aluminum elements for production and various machines. In 1961, the company began to produce printing equipment, and already in 1968 it began to produce power tools. After some time, the company grows significantly. Its units appeared in the USA and Great Britain.
For the first time in the Japanese fishing reel market, Ryobi made itself known in the late 70s by releasing Dynaflight reels, which became popular in a short time. Ryobi coils were among the first to break through the Iron Curtain. They were highly appreciated by anglers.
In the 1990s, the Japanese company stopped paying attention to the fishing division, as a result of which Ryobi coils disappeared from the field of view for a while, losing ground to competitors Shimano and Daiwa.
At the end of September 2000, Ryobi sold the fishing industry, as well as the right to use its trademark to another company from Japan - Joshuya Co, which resumed production of fishing products. So Ryobi coils reappeared in the Japanese market.
A new development of the company, which constantly presents gifts to anglers, is the Zauber reel.
It applied a number of innovative ideas. The main thing was the synchronization system of the worm extension and the main gear pair. This design significantly reduces the unpleasant knock that occurs when the coil is under load. It is equipped with a high-quality fine-clutch front friction brake. Ryobi Zauber metal coils, whose case is made of titanium alloy, are not subject to increased wear of their parts. Titanium nitride, in addition to giving a modern look, made it possible to obtain a reliable and high-quality device for lobbying fish.
Ryobi Excia is one of a series of high-speed inertia reels made in Japanese technology. The metal case and the whole mechanism as a whole are highly reliable.
The coil is equipped with a good front friction brake with fine adjustment. The Excia mechanism puts fishing line without any “humps” or “dips”. This makes it possible to catch without jumping loops. The tubular bow guarantees the ease and accuracy of the line being pulled off after casting onto a roller that is coated with titanium nitride. The model is intended for professionals who can appreciate its merits and the high class of the mechanism of the Excia coil.
Zester VX is a great model for spinning enthusiasts.
The metal case, which has bearings on all bearings, will provide a smooth ride and high-quality operation of the coil. The case is designed according to the "V-metal concept" system, the front clutch - with ultra-precise adjustment. A semi-closed roller makes it possible to avoid overlapping fishing lines. Ryobi Zester coils have an ergonomic handle with push button lock. You can work with both the left and the right side. These reels are great for any spin fishing method.
Ecusima reels are equally interesting to fans of predator fishing or peaceful fish. They are 1000-2000 in size suitable for both ultralight and wire rods. Models from 2000-4000 are ideal for spinning gear equipment. The coil has a large margin of safety and a smooth ride. Ultra-precise friction clutch and well-balanced reel mechanism put it next to more expensive models.
