Good fixed spool spinning reel?

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!

Good fixed spool spinning reel?

#1 Post by tiestomac »

Hi Im new on here. I want to start gearing up for the season now and am looking to update my beachcasting set up! I Currently have a decent penn reel dat has endured 5 years of hardship, never failed me but it has a plastic handle which now starts to wobble when under pressure so I want to get a decent reel preferably with a steel constructed handle. It will be mainly used for bass/dogs/flatties off the beach, but I also want something that wont have any bother pulling in 6 mackerel at a time, Im also hoping to go after conger at some stage also. Could Someone recommend a reasonably priced reel < €100 (im a student) that would cover the above please? Thanks

Ps any opinion on these waders? http://www.henrystackleshop.com/product ... ts_id=1726
