Who it suits
Is it right for you?
Great for
- Carp anglers fishing normal-range waters. The deep spool, line clip and strong front drag give you a useful setup for everyday carp work without going full big-pit.
- Anglers who mix feeder, spinning and carp fishing. The two spools and all-round gearing make it easy to cover different styles with one reel.
Maybe skip if
- Extreme-range carp anglers. Dedicated big-pit reels are a better shout when huge line capacity and maximum casting distance are the whole game.
- Ultra-light lure or precision match anglers. This is a general-purpose reel, not a tiny finesse or specialist match machine.

- 5.1:1 gear ratio with a 90 cm retrieve per handle turn

Quick verdict
A cracking all-rounder with plenty in the box
The 1of1 All Rounder is aimed squarely at anglers who want one reel to cover a lot of ground. Carp, feeder, spinning and the occasional saltwater trip are all on the menu, and the two-spool setup makes switching between jobs properly handy.
It’s not a specialist big-pit monster or a tiny finesse reel. That’s the point. For general bank work, mixed fisheries and anglers building a versatile setup without buying a whole reel collection, this looks bob on.

The carbon drag washers, ceramic line roller, stainless-steel bearings and practical finish make a strong overall package.
The 5.1:1 gearing, 90 cm retrieve and 13 kg drag cover a broad range of normal fishing jobs.
Two spool options, a line clip and a capable drag help you fish accurately and control fish properly.
The folding handle, EVA grip, anti-reverse and simple spool swap keep day-to-day use nice and straightforward.
Getting both a deep and shallow spool makes it more flexible than a single-purpose reel in the same general bracket.

The full rundown
Everything you'll want to know about the One More Cast 1of1 All Rounder Reel
The One More Cast 1of1 All Rounder Reel is aimed at the angler who doesn’t fancy owning a different reel for every job. Carp one weekend, feeder the next, a bit of lure fishing when the mood takes you, then maybe an occasional salty session. That’s a fair old spread, but this reel has been built to cover it without making a song and dance about things.
Straight away, the styling will appeal if you like your tackle with a bit of character. It has a matte black finish, old-school detailing and a carbon insert that give it more personality than the usual anonymous black reel. It looks smart without being too flashy — the sort of bit of kit that sits nicely on a carp rod or a general-purpose spinning setup.
The useful bit, though, is the spool arrangement. You get one deep spool and one shallow spool in the box, so you can set the reel up for different jobs rather than trying to make one line setup do everything. The deep spool holds 275 metres of 0.35 mm line, giving you plenty of capacity for general carp work and heavier fishing.
The shallow spool is loaded with lighter-duty duties — it holds 325 metres of 0.18 mm line. That makes it a much more natural partner for feeder fishing, lighter float work or spinning. You can keep each spool ready to go, which is dead handy when the fish suddenly switch on and you fancy changing tactics without a load of faff.
The 5.1:1 gear ratio is a sensible middle ground. It isn’t painfully slow when you need to pick up line, but it also gives you useful control when playing a fish close in. With 90 cm of line retrieved per handle turn, you’ve got enough recovery for general lure and feeder work while still keeping things calm and manageable on a carp setup.
Drag power is another strong point. The front drag is rated up to 13 kg and uses carbon drag washers, so there’s plenty of headroom when a proper lump decides to test your gear. You won’t need all that power on every session, of course. The real win is having a drag that can be set smoothly for lighter work but still has muscle in reserve.
There are a few little touches that make the reel easier to live with on the bank. A line clip is included for clipping up when fishing accurately, while the ceramic line roller is a welcome feature for keeping line lay and line flow tidy. The anti-reverse system does what you’d expect, helping keep the handle solid when a fish kicks off.
The screw-in folding handle is useful if you’re packing the reel away or moving between swims, and the EVA handle grip should stay comfortable through a long session. The supplied magnetic-closing box is a nice cheeky extra too. It won’t put more fish on the mat, but it does make storage feel a little less thrown together.
There are limits to the all-round approach. This isn’t being pitched as an extreme-distance big-pit reel, and ultra-light lure anglers may want something smaller and more specialist. But for the angler who wants one capable reel to cover carp, feeder, spinning and the odd bit of saltwater fishing, the 1of1 All Rounder looks like a very sensible bit of kit.

Our take
One reel, several jobs
The big selling point here is flexibility. The deep spool gives you plenty of capacity for carp work, while the shallow spool suits lighter line for feeder and spinning. Add the 5.1:1 gearing, 90 cm retrieve and 13 kg front drag, and it’s a very usable middle-ground reel rather than a one-trick pony.
What you’re buying
A versatile reel with two useful personalities
The 1of1 All Rounder comes with a deep spool and a shallow spool, which is the main reason it earns the all-rounder name. The deep spool holds 275 m of 0.35 mm line for general carp work, while the shallow spool takes 325 m of 0.18 mm line for lighter feeder and spinning setups.
Inside, you get 5+1 stainless-steel ball bearings, a 5.1:1 gear ratio and a 90 cm retrieve per turn. The front drag uses carbon washers and offers up to 13 kg of maximum drag power. There’s also a ceramic line roller, anti-reverse system and line clip.
The finish is matte black with old-school detailing and a carbon insert. An EVA handle grip and screw-in folding handle keep things practical, while the magnetic-closing box makes storage a bit more polished.
Worth knowing. The two spools make this reel flexible, but they don’t turn it into two reels. Keep your carp line on the deep spool and lighter line on the shallow one, and you’ll save yourself a proper faff on the bank.
Best use cases
A strong choice for mixed fishing
For everyday carp fishing, the deep spool and line clip give you a useful combination. You can clip up accurately, fish the margins or work a normal-range swim without needing a dedicated distance reel.
The shallow spool makes the reel far more appealing to feeder and spinning anglers. Load it with suitable lighter line, change the rod and you’re ready to go. The 90 cm retrieve is a good compromise for working lures and winding in a feeder rig without feeling frantic.
It’s also suited to anglers who fish different venues through the year. The drag has enough authority for carp and stronger fish, while the general gearing keeps the reel usable for less demanding styles.
Worth knowing. If your fishing is all about chucking huge leads to the far bank, look at a proper big-pit reel instead. This one is about covering more situations, not winning the distance game.
Quick answers
The bits anglers usually want to know
Can it handle carp work? Yes. The deep spool capacity, line clip and powerful carbon-washer drag make it a sensible option for general carp fishing. Just match the rod, line and terminal tackle properly rather than relying on the drag rating alone.
Which spool should you use? The deep spool is the obvious choice for heavier carp line and extra capacity. The shallow spool is better when you want a lighter 0.18 mm line setup for feeder, spinning or similar work.
Can it go near saltwater? It’s designed for occasional saltwater fishing, so it can handle the odd trip. Rinse it with fresh water afterwards and don’t leave salty deposits sitting around the line roller or spool.
Worth knowing. Keep the spare spool protected in its box, and label your line setups if you regularly swap between carp and lighter work. It’s a small thing, but it stops a lot of last-minute head-scratching before bite-time.
