At the suggestion of various members and given the magazines will run a mile from criticising a piece of kit, here is your chance to tell us what you really think about a rod, reel, line, lure... keep it legal please!
I have two of these reels. Cracking reel for the money and they have excellent cast control as well. If you are beach fishing go for one without the level wind. The 20 size is plenty for Irish beaches.
you could pic up a good second hand reel for that money a sports mag or mag elite would be my choice for a reel to learn on ,then again i never had a wang with a magnitex
Have heard nightmare stories about over-runs with multis, so magnetic braking seems to be the way to go
Also, with the wife buying it, it will give me more of an excuse to get out fishing. Something along the lines of "I'm just showing my appreciation of you present dear. it would be such a shame for me to be ungrateful and not use it
