go to your local tackle shop and tell them what you need the reel for and what rod youve got and im sure they\'ll have the one you need!

Moggy, as Alan has mentioned, the Okuma UR 50 is well worth considering.
My wife bought me one the year before last and it is a lovelly smooth reel to use.......and if they\'ve dropped the price.......a definite one to think about.

Seen one on Ebay for £14.99,I was watching it but missed the end,no bidders,brand new and boxed,cant remember the postage but i think it was £3

 

[moggy]

well worth a look

have you ever used this company Askari ?

they seem to have some great special offers on, i\'m very tempted on the brolly and overwrap they have on special reduced from £125 down to £39 !! just seems a bit too cheap.
just like to know they\'re kosha before i part with my cash.

Mickey, they send me catalogues all the time. A lot of the stuff seems european i.e Scandanavia( ice fishing equipment etc) but there are some decent things you can get from them. Only snag is I thiunk you have to make a minimum spend of about £30, but if you\'re after something for £39 you should be ok.

Undertaker 50 here for £19.99 (at least you get it straight anway and don\'t have to bid):

used askari a few times waterproofs and small bits of tackle never had any problem with them there is a minimum order of 30 quid but there catalogues like a sweet shop lol your spoiled for choice ,normaly takes 7-1o days to get your stuff ,i think paul (hiram)uses them a lot
no worries about getting ripped off the companys massive and reliable
i always check out there bargains

 

[Ian_D]

Askaris bargains look great, but can\'t say I\'m too impressed with some of their other prices. I was looking at the fly reels and they have the Grey\'s GRX at £79.95, which is available from other on-line dealers at around £50. Suppose it just shows that it pays to shop around.

I have used Askari before and the only problem I found with them is the delivery. It takes 2-3 weeks for the stuff to arrive.

 

[moggy]

righty, ive narrowed it down to the following reels...anyone got any suggestions on which is the better reel?

I use an Abu Cardinal,no probs,what you would expect from Abu.

Stay away from the Undertaker reels Moggy. I got one last year and in my opinion it is crap. I did the same last year as you\'re doing now, wanted a cheap set up to try a bit of spinning. Wish I\'d budgeted a bit more for the reel as going to have to get a better quality one for this year.

 

[jordy]

I got a daiwa regal twistbuster 4000 or something like that( i\'ll have to dig it out and confirm that) from I.D last year mint reel for spinning and flattie bashing sure i only paid £30 quid for it .
