You'll get a very good second hand Shimano Aerlex for £50 and that will still be better than many of the other reels available for £50 new. They are fantastic quality. The 7000 size has more than adequate line capacity for beach fishing. I have 300yds of 40lb braid on mine. If you want to fish a heavier line straight through go for the 8000 size as it has the bigger spool.

They are great casters, very, very smooth and are known to be long lasting under heavy work.

I'm not a fixed spool user but a freind from work has a couple of assasin 7500's that he rates quite highly, here's a link Leeda Assassin Reel| FREE POST over £100 buy at North East Tackle

Daiwa Emcast 5000 - excellent reel. Mine was £55 on Ebay thought they are probably a bit more nowadays.

Shimano aerlex 7000 but they dont have many ball bearings in not as smooth retrieve as the okumas with more bearings but still good reel for line lay casting etc which is more important.
