Alright lads,

Any ideas on whats the best to buy for around 100 euro? Something with good casting capabilities. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

I bought a Shimano Aerlex 8000XS for €100 recently. Very happy with it. Also looked at a Penn Surfmaster 70 for same money. Can't go wrong with either reel.

I Bought an Dawia Emcast 6000 Reel last week 7 B\B
and Casts like a Dream,
the bail arm locks down well before every cast and Casts a lot better than my Quantium reel.
I bought it for Eur 120

Alright Lads, thanks for the advice, Ive just ordered the Penn Surfmaster 70, so just waiting on delivery. I got it for €125 on the net, as I rang all the Dublin shops and the cheapest was €170, and Rorys said €180!!

Thanks for the advice
