Why can't you just use an electric reel?
The Swordrill Fishing Reel Drill Adaptors are a game-changing solution for deep-drop anglers, especially those targeting swordfish. Traditional electric reels designed for swordfishing can cost anywhere from $5,000 to $15,000, putting them out of reach for many fishermen.
With a Swordrill adaptor, you can power your Shimano Tiagra, TLD, or Tyrnos reel using a standard cordless drill—making deep dropping and line retrieval faster, easier, and far more affordable. Unlike electric reels, these adaptors still allow you to fight the fish on stand-up gear, giving you the full big-game experience without losing the challenge.
Best of all, Swordrill adaptors are IGFA compliant, so you can fish with confidence while staying within international sportfishing regulations.
What type of fishing is the Swordill adaptors used for?
The Swordrill Fishing Reel Drill Adaptors are designed for deep sea fishing in depths ranging from 200 to 1000 meters, making bait retrieval faster, easier, and more efficient. Hand cranking at these depths can take a huge amount of time and energy—cutting into your valuable fishing time—while the Swordrill adaptor allows you to power your reel with a cordless drill for quick line recovery.
Beyond deep dropping, these reel drill adaptors have multiple uses. They are ideal for respooling fishing reels, retrieving kites and trolling lures, and even for beach fishing, where long lines need to be pulled back in quickly. Durable, versatile, and easy to use, the Swordrill adaptor is the perfect tool to save time and effort while maximizing your fishing experience.
What type of drill works best?
Most standard cordless drills used at home or on construction sites are suitable for powering the Swordrill. Each adaptor is designed to fit a 3/8" drill chuck for a secure connection. For best performance and to protect your gear, it is recommended to operate the drill on low speed only.
