Slosh 30 or an ABU 7000 if on a budget - the reels that Gary and Nicky have mentioned if you've got some lowie to splash

For information mate, you can get a brand new slosh 30 for £75.

 

[g-force]

Yeah, if on a tight budget look for a second hand SL30 or a Penn 535 GS, you should pick up either in good nick for £40-£50.

I love my saltist 30, if tight budget glasgow angling were selling the penn gs for 50 new last month.

ABU 9000C - 40lb line. You can get a good old one for £50 on ebay

cheers for the help lads, much appreciated.

Why a 9000C

Just to qualify why the 9000C -the dual gears is why. It's high gear is not quite as fast as the new reels at 5.3 but if you get a decent fish you can winch it in when it drops gear. A decent fish with a 6:1 gear ratio will stop you dead and you will need to pump it in. Seen many fish lost when you drop the rod tip in the kelp jungles.

Saying that there's nowt wrong with the other reels mentioned either just my personal preference.

Another nod for the Slosh30 here, picked mine up and a Slosh20 on the recommends of the group and more than happy with both of them, especially at the price they're at brand new.

I just use a saltist or a 525 at the moment loaded with 30lb line and a 80lb rubbing leader, but the abu 7000 would be a good choice or one of the new akios reels the 757 looks a great bit of kit I'm thinking of getting one of these myself.
Hope this helps

slosh 30 all the way

 

[apollo mk3]

another vote for the slosh 30 or the 535 gs, all of the above are good reels in their own right but you need not spent a fortune for good gear.

Saltist 30H !!!The end

 

[Wreckingball76]

Saltist 30H.... 30lb Tournament mono + 80lb rubbing leader or 30lb straight through, you'll never need another rough ground set-up...backed up with a decent rod you could pull the plug out.....

slosh 30 vote from me too !
