Fixed Spool 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!

Tica 10000 - Big Pit type
Diawa - Big Pit type
Shamino Cardiff 401 -small 'multi'
Mitchel 7000 - Med Spinner type

Have noticed that the smaller reels perform better for distance casting 100+yds up to 30yds extra...don't know if this is to do with the smaller reels a more inline with the eyes and closer to the butt!...not advising ye to get small reel but consider one step down from big pit type... best luck ...great rod... :D

ps... if yer going for a Navi make sure tis latest version (lot of old 2009 versions still selling a 2011 prices!)
Cheers gerryl have already bought the Shimano Biomaster.
Welcome m8 ...now ya got a great reel as well...enjoy
