Multiplier for a novice shore fisherman

Hi

I am a member of a predominantly boat fishing club who has done a bit of shore fishing, biut I still class myself as a novice.

Another member is starting to go share angling and has asked for suggestions for a multiplier. Most of the fishing will be in fairly clean ground off the Holderness coast or over rocks at Anglesey.

I was thinking either an Abu Mag Elite or Daiawa 7HT for the clean ground and either a SL20sh or SL30sh for the rougher ground and for uptiding. What do others think?

Thanks foir your advice

Fred

Hi Fred I would recommend the slosh range,it never nests up if used properly and is suitable for clean or rough ground,its a very popular reel,Its also suitable for the boats as well.
 
when I got back in to shore fishing a few years ago I bought a couple of cheap multipliers. combined with my crap casting it was a nightmare. Bought a slosh and never had a problem (except when I tried it before xmas with spiderwire braid still onit!)

my advice would also be get a slosh 30, 35lb mainline straight through and you should be laughing
 
Just ordered a Slosh 30 from Torbay Angling for £65.00 plus delivery.

Should turn up tomorrow!!!!

cheers

thats what I use Mark,35lb yo zuri with a shockleader,shame they don\'t make the yo zuri line anymore,think I\'ve got enough for one more fill up.
 
FWIW, if anyone ever contemplates buying spiderwire braid, don\'t, it\'s pants. Had it on the reel for the boat and it was pants then as well. In fact its worse than pants, its was John McCrirricks pants
 
The problems that you had that night I wasn\'t too impressed mate.

You still on the roof by the way. Hope your well fastened down lol. Throw that brolly away afore you turn into Mary Poppins lol.

can\'t see how it could ever be good. The outher sheath on the braid is way too stiff, the inner too soft. Cos the outer is hard it damages really easily, exposing the inner. Its a complete bitch to bed in and get to lay flat, the outer seems as though its too big for the inner so the line flattens out when its had pressure on the spool, which makes it twist, which makes it not lie flat on the spool etc etc etc

just heard some more slates go a while back, roofer here the morrra all being well. Reckon the wind was higher earlier than it was the other night and its been lashing down most of the day
 
welcome to the board Fred. I use a penn 525 gs for clean ground fishing and a penn 535gs for the rough stuff. Once you have them tuned to suit you they are great.

cheers.

luv slosh 30s was a good rel till bro inlaw borrowed it. gag1 what are the5 25 gs like wife won one for me in the xmas comp,,, do you leave all brakes in ( 4 ) or do you take 2 out. have filled mine with 20 lb sensor plus shocker.
 
Fred welcome to the board mate. As the lads have said previously, the slosh 20/30 range are excellent value for money and are reasonably easy to tame for casting. They both have excellent retrieves 6.1 to 1 and are ideal for both rough and clean ground fishing. For fishing the more clean sandy areas i don\'t think the new Penn 535 mag slidey can be beaten, it has an excellent retrieve 6.1 to 1 and casts superbly although at £115.00 it is slightly dear, but you pays for what you get - quality. Anyway hope this helps.

Cheers JAW. :D
 
I\'ve used penn 525\'s and Sloshes, but the Abu Mag Elite is by far the easiest to cast with......and it\'s oh so smoooooooooth!

Only useful on clean sand though. The Sloshes are tough but I don\'t rate them as user friendly and 7000 Abu\'s look too good to be dropped on the rocks. At some point I\'ll be trying a 535. :D
 
Hi

Thanks everybody for your comments. I sent the link to the person who asked the wquestion and he has been on the board to have a look.

I\'ve been using a Shakespeare President for the last three years, and it has been ok, once I learned to tune it (down) to prevent birds nests.

I know that it\'s a clean ground reel, but I have used it uptiding in the Humber with no problems.

I just bought a SL30SH and found that it worked like a dream beach fishing, I\'m looking forward to trying that up-tiding later in the month.

Again, thanks for your comments, folks. Much appreciated.

Fred
