welcome to the site mate. i use a penn 535 picked mine up reconditioned for 50 notes 2yr ago and love it. what im tryin ta say is probably better going for a quality second hand one rather than new with ya budget. have a look in the trading section on here

Boat reel

Enjoyed using my penn 320gti,never let me down.have a look on ebay you can pick them up quite reasonable for a quality piece of kit.

I would recomend a penn 225LD. This is a nice open spool leaver drag reel, the drag is easy to adjust while reeling a fish in so that you have more control, Just incase you hook that bigun

The only thing is they dont make them anymore, but they do crop up on eBay every so often you should pick one up for well within your budget.


Then all you need is some 40lb dynon 3000 to put on it

Shamano TLD15 these reels rule the boat fishing, tried and owned many other types but sold them all on and purchsed more TLD 15's and 20's, solid reel, well built, able to handle anything and you can pick then up for £86 new, i paid £83 for mine and then postage

Bought a penn 320GT spot on mate, think it was £70 from nets at Hendon

Theres a canny Penn Senator for sale in the classifieds, bit bulky for my likes but bullet proof and easy to maintain.

Shimano TLDs 15 or 20
Do own original Penn GTI 10 & 20 WOULDN'T buy the newer models as like the Abu's the none made in Sweden models the Penns reels are made elsewhere also, Me's Thinks.
