MiniReel Pro 3-Function Locking Pin Play
MiniReel Pro 3-Function Locking Pin

Benefits

Most compact reels do the basics—spooling polywire, tape, twine, or braid—but fall short when you need real control. If you want usable drag or a proper lock, you’re usually forced to upgrade to a full-size or geared reel.

The MiniReel™ Pro changes that:

✔ 3-function locking pin
Choose drag for smooth, tangle-free unspooling or switch to free-wind for rapid line deployment. Lock it down when you’re done.
✔ Large center hub
Winds faster with fewer turns—saving time on every setup and takedown.
✔ Ergonomic comfort and protection
The insulated handle and integrated hand guard reduce fatigue, improve grip, and help prevent accidental electrical contact.


Specs

  • Overall dimensions: 9"W × 11"L × 12"H
  • Bobbin diameter: 8"
  • Construction: UV-treated plastic
  • Color: Green, white and red
  • Made in New Zealand by Strainrite Fencing Systems

Pre-winding—Item #408341 includes a reel and 660' of Rutland™ Braided Poly Wire preloaded on the bobbin. Other electric fence conductors can be used, but not pre-wound.


Tips

To load a new conductor, feed the wire through the pilot slot on either side of the bobbin, tie a secure knot to anchor, cinch it in place and begin winding.

Most compact reels do the bare minimum. They’re budget-friendly, but they’re also flimsy and rarely built for the real, on-farm demands of frequent fencing work. That’s why we partnered with Strainrite to create something better—something we could trust on our own farms and expect to last beyond a single season while still being affordable.

The MiniReel™ Pro isn’t a throwaway accessory. It’s field equipment designed to withstand repeated use, rough handling, and the demands of frequent fence moves. The large central hub winds faster and more efficiently—a small detail that makes a big difference when you’re moving fence lines often. We also insisted on a design that hangs securely on high-tensile wire without working itself loose.

Got mine today and built a new rack to hang them off our side-by-side UTV. The reels seem like good quality, and the brake function will be really handy.

I had high expectations for these reels when I bought them. Finally a well-built small reel that would last. But of the 4 reels I bought, after a month of use 2 of them are now trash (the other 2 are still in the box).

Here's what I liked about the reels: 1) The handle is well made and seems like it should last a good while without breaking. 2) Likewise with the reel itself--built to last and I like that you can attach the polywire so that it doesn't slip on the reel. 3) The locking pin does firmly lock the reel, but it has other problems, as below.

Here are the deal-breakers: 1) The little red handle that you use to wind the reel is very flimsy in comparison to the reel. It breaks off easily. Get the polywire stuck on a piece of grass or weed and turn too hard and it snaps right off. 2) The locking pin when used in drag control mode wears completely off after about a hundred feet of polywire has played out. It just doesn't stand up. 3) There is a fair amount of friction between the reel and the "axle" that it rides on, which exacerbates point 1. Keeping it lubed might help. I have pictures documenting these problems, but this site apparently won't allow pictures in reviews.

For my money, I will continue buying the inexpensive mini-reels. They at least last a couple years before breaking or wearing out.

About Conductivity

Conductivity measures the amount of electrical current a material can carry. The opposite measure is known as resistance.

Tinned Copper Superconductor

Many of Premier’s electric net fences feature a green and white superconductor that has both stainless steel and tinned copper filaments for optimal conductivity.

These “premium” nets are 10 times more conductive (38 ohms per 1000') than “basic” nets offered by our competitors. This enables the electric pulse to travel much farther and be less affected by weed contact.

Customers who are unhappy with netting are often those who’ve chosen nets from China or their farmstore equivalents.

Types of Line Posts

Line posts are built into the net. Three options are available.*

Line Posts Compared
  1. Single Spike (SS)
    The best choice, unless your soils are always soft or very hard.
  2. Double Spike (DS)
    Posts allow you to push in the spikes with your foot. When soil is hard or rocky, double spikes are more difficult to install and remove.
  3. Drivable Posts (DP)
    Allows use of a mallet or dead blow hammer for installing posts in dry, hard or rocky soil. Features a “spike stop” for extra support and internal fiberglass ribs for added strength.

Tip: To insert a line post into frozen or hard soil, use a power tool to drill pilot holes.

* Not all fences have all line post options.

About Positive/Negative (Pos/Neg) Nets

Is your area dry?

Conventional electrified fence systems rely on soil moisture to be effective. However, not all areas have the required moisture.

Dry soil increases resistance—a weaker, less effective pulse occurs that does not deter animals.

To overcome this, Pos/Neg nets* are wired to allow the use of every other horizontal strand as an extension of the ground terminal. Because half the strands are connected to the ground terminal or ground rod, reliance on soil moisture is reduced. A PowerLink must be purchased separately to make the secondary ground connection.

How it works…

In order to receive a shock, the animal must touch both a positive (hot) and negative (grounded) strand at the same time. This will deliver more pain to the animal than an all hot net (Pos/Pos) because moisture in the soil is not required to complete the circuit.

Pos/Neg fences can be converted to Pos/Pos in moist conditions. Remember, all fences must be kept free of vegetation.

* Not all fences have Pos/Neg options.

Line Post Spacing

“Plus” nets—6'8" spacings between built-in line posts*

Line Post Spacing

Standard nets—10' or 12' spacings between built-in line posts*

* Spacings are approximate.
Distance between built-in line posts may vary by product.

Essential Energizer Advice

  • Buy a larger energizer than necessary. When the fence pleases, most folks will buy more fence—and need additional output.
  • Use a low-impedance intermittent pulse energizer.
  • Use a fence tester to check the voltage often.
  • Use enough ground rod(s)—included with our energizer kits.
  • Don’t allow your lead acid battery to discharge below 40%.
  • Use insulated wire that is designed for electric fences.
  • Always connect the fence to an energizer, not an outlet.
  • Visit this link for answers to other common energizer questions.

Two Basic Types

  1. All-in-one Solar
    • Solar units are very portable.
    • Because they need a battery, these units are more costly to purchase and operate than plug-in units.
    • Batteries are less effective in cold temperatures (deplete faster).
    • Most farmstore solar units are too weak, in joules of output, to properly energize netting. That’s why we designed our own.
  2. Plug-in & Battery
    • Least cost to purchase and operate per joule of output.
    • Best for fences exposed to heavy vegetation.
    • Cold temperatures do not affect performance.
    • Recommended for whole-farm systems, but can be complex to install. Higher output requires more ground rods, underground cables, multiple output terminals, etc.

While at Iowa State University, Dr. Dan Morrical was responsible for educational programs in all areas of sheep production, ranging from nutrition, genetics, marketing and management. Research areas focused on applied projects in the areas of nutrition, forage utilization, genetics, out-of-season breeding and lamb survival.

Dr. Morrical has been heavily involved in providing educational resources to the sheep industry. He has authored over 30 extension fact sheets, ration balancing software programs, grazing videos and co-authored the nutrition chapter of the SID Handbook with Dr. Margaret Benson from Washington State University.

Dr. Morrical now serves as Premier’s on-staff small ruminant nutritionist and sheep production advisor. Most recently, he’s introduced a line of “GOLD FORMULA” mineral premixes under The Shepherd’s Choice® brand, aimed to maximize hoof health and immunity.

Braided vs. Twisted

Braiding instead of twisting the horizontals increases the frequency of metal filaments on the outside of the strand.

Braided vs. Twisted Electric Net Fences

What’s the benefit?

  1. More metal is exposed on the outside of the strand. This enables improved animal to conductor contact. The electric pulse is better able to travel from the fence and into the animal, resulting in a memorable shock.
  2. A tighter, braided weave results in fewer snags when carried or pulled through pastures, reducing frustration.
