reel

[cod hunte1]

could any one suggest a good reel for all conditions not to fussed on price must be a multiplier was looking at the diwa 7ht mags ut heard it mostly for clean beach also iv been looking at the penn fathom heard ther ok actually



thanks in advance

if your not fussed on price get the new penn torque 100 best all round reels out there but 400 quid penn fathoms are nice but seam to be a bit cheaply made the new saltist 30s are much better cast well and will pull the plug out there around the 180 price

sorry i should re phrase that around the 200 mark hahah sorry

 

[big phil 123]

haha if you want a all round reel that copes with 30lb line straight through and that casts well saltist 30

 

[cod hunte1]

haha i use 18 lb mate and iv heard theyre godd reels off a few people now

 

[big phil 123]

haha if your not going to fish heavy ground i would buy a 525 mate

 

[cod hunte1]

i fish heavy ground quite oftern mate

 

[codfather145]

i fish heavy ground quite oftern mate

I use a saltis 20 and its fine for beachs and brilliant for the ruff stuff.
So for an all rounder I would go for the 20 .

if you fish heavy ground quite often you need to change your mainline. before buying a new reel. 18lb just isnt upto it.

for mixed ground go for a 525 mag, if your going to be fishing in really heavy kelp etc, u want a bigger reel..

penn535 , slosh 30s, saltitst 30 etc etc.

dont go buying a 7ht mag to fish over rough ground.

dont buy a reel just because you have heard they are good, or they look great.

different marks etc etc mean using different tackle and equipment.

I have a couple of Penn torq 100s which I use on the wks in the summer, uptiding / downtiding in the winter and been used on the piers, rocks and beaches. I think thats what you call an all rounder, in fact I would call them bomb proof !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Penn 525, Diawa Slo20sh, Diawa Saltist...... none are that cheap and will handle most stuff around here

what the tourques like to bring decent fish up with the high retrieve, ive got the 100 and 300 but keep getting put of using them by people saying there to fast for wrecking.

Hi, excellant for working shads etc, bringing fish up just take your time - not a problem !!!!.
No good listening to other people who will probs not even own one, get them on and give them a go - bomb proof !!!!!!!!!!

 

[big phil 123]

i agree great reels only used the 100 from the shore they need magging though as i find the new black ones un castable as they have no brakes but i have only used a mates black one and they cast like a 6500 but will pull the plug out

 

[Mogthemackem]

Could probs get an excellent condition 2nd hand torque 100 for around 200. Seems a lot for a 2nd hand reel but I've got one and as Phil said probs the strongest reel around and they cast well

 

[keith.s.]

Get 2

Get 2

Why not get 2 if you`ve got 200 quid get a nice little casting reel for the beach and piers and a winch for the rough ? Penn 525 for up to 20lb line, and a S/hand slosh 30 for the heavy stuff. Just a thought

Probably showing my age but what about an ABU 7500

Any Diawa millionire or Abu 6500 or Akios 656 size reel for distance over clean ground with 15lb-20lb will be fine but heavy ground or rock marks need a bit of grunt. Slosh 30 with 30lb line or Saltist 30 will be good.Mixed ground 525 20lb line ?
