a would go for a slosh and there is one second hand in lewis for 50 pound

 

[tonynufc]

i'd go for the slosh30 mate, you cant beat them.

Defo the slosh30.had mine for about a year now and cannot fault it on the rough ground

 

[mickbrennan]

does the slosh 30 have a levelwind

 

[seabeast]

no level wind on slosh ,had 7000s most of my life there legend brick ****houses with levelwind if you want.

 

[mickbrennan]

use an abu 7 but lookingg to upgrade

Standard SLOSH 30 - brilliant casting reel.

 

[nick1]

Got to be the slosh mate, strong and robust and they chuck well

 

[canman]

Go for the slosh, it will hold more line. good tip, take the handle off and put it back onto the other oblong hole, much improved cranking power. I do this with all my sloshes, other wise they feel over geared.

went for the slosh 30,35lb f1 line straight through,ill put 20 or 25lb f1 on the 525 and a shocker.

good choice pete but depends where you fish i would consider still use a rubbing leader if its very heavy ground

7000 everytime far far better reel for casting and gut hauling than a slosh simple as that.

7000 everytime far far better reel for casting and gut hauling than a slosh simple as that.

That's what i would have said 15years ago when I bought my slosh's and they're still grafting. Although I regard the 7000's still a good reel I lost a bit of faith after losing good fish when the reels started locking up under load.

i think its 6 and 2 3s

i think its 6 and 2 3s

Slosh wins hands down, I have always used a abu 7001 with level wind being a lazy lefty, since i've mastered the right hander, the slosh is excellent, much more distance, smoother & more pulling power than the 7001, which is prone to locking up when hauling good fish.
The abu is now a spare, until I get hold of another slosh 30.

 

[adam.d]

got a slosh in the for sale bit, the pics make it look much worse than it is!

pulled cod in to 10lb and over at craster kelp beds and never had a lock up from my 7000s i guess mine must be special ones eh.
