Fixed Spool Reel

[Deleted User 12130]

Hey,

I was wondering if you guys could help me out. I recently dropped my Mitchell Advocet 5500 Free Spool reel on the tarmac in the carpark which made bits of the handle and bent the bail arm. I am in the market for a new reel of the same capacity (around the 200m mark of .30 mono) as it will only be ever used when fishing off the rocks with feathers or sidewinders and i am a bit lost. I have been looking at Mitchell, Abu Garcia, Daiwa, Penn and am being bogged down in information. I was wondering if you guys could help me narrow my choices to a sturdy, strong and durable reel that can take a knock or two and give me your experiences with some of these brands and if you think they are worth the money. I really appreciate your help and your time,
Thanks,
Colin

Hi . I was in the same boat. I was looking at shimano and a few others you mentioned. I ended up buying a penn fierce 11 simply cause the shop had a second hand one for €45 which swung it for me and I'mvery happy with it. I send you a PM that I got from another angler on here
