fixed spool reels

[jimbonda]

I usually fish the river or the piers having not fished very long and just buy cheap gear really not needing anything pricey for the occasional trip to the river.

I am looking to start fishing on the beach and the rocks a bit more and am thinking of buying a half decent reel. i know some of you will probably say i should buy something more expensive but my budget is about 40 quid.

any advice appreciated but was wondering if any of you have used these and how have you found them. I want something thats good to cast with for the beaches mainly but is strong enough to cope with some mixed ground if i decide to fish off the rocks.

TF Gear V8 Distance Reel - Sea Fishing Reels Fishtec

the tf gear reels both have 13 beaings and looks good the big pit is in the sea section in fishtec but appears in most freshwater sites, would it be suitable for what I want.

my son always had a fixed spool but could cast very far got himself a couple of 2nd hand mutli in good nick, first one from lewis tackle wbay abu 6500 rocket nice mutlti with mags on so could be worth a look. fixed spools are good but not for a big fish, sons 65 quid leeda assasin was less than 3 month old and gave up when he ahd a big fish on last week, spindle and everything is bent

I know youve got a limited budget but youd probably be better going for a good second hand quality piece of kit.I would reccommend a Shimano Aerlex 7000 or 8000 great reels and built for the job.
