Spinning fixed spool
Can anyone recommend a decent fixed spool for spinning? My Ryobi 4000 has a problem with the bail arm and think it may be best to just buy a new one as I've had it about 7/8 years now.

Totally depends on your price range and marks you looking to fish with it mate (ie: how much line you need it to hold). Plenty good reels about, wont go far wrong looking at reels by Shimano or other well known brands"In order to becomes old and wise, first you must be young and stupid."

Only go onto South Shields pier and the rocks at marsden way with it spinning mate. Isn't gonna be use for casting miles or anything, got an abu multiplier for the best mate.

Any Shimano reel mate, I use a Shimano Exage 4000 for my spinning, that's in the 50-60 price range. I do also use the Shimano Hyperloop 4000, that's 15 quid and apart from it being light and plastic and cheap, I don't really see a difference yet, maybe time will tell. I've been using the exage for over a year now and the Hyperloop for a few months, I only bought it as a cheap back u reel but found it helps having the 2 reels to chop and change.Comment

It's always handy to have 2 reels. Think mine is able to be fixed because I've found the part. Already got an Abu fixed spool as a back up but fingers crossed this one can be fixed because its served me well lol.Century Eliminator T900

Nicky I bought the Rovex 6000 for £40.00 thought it would be OK for a season, the bail arm snapped after 6 sessions pure plastic crap. Another one with a snapped arm was spotted in the same shop, cheap Australian crap best avoided unless used for freshwater fishing im my opinion/experience.Originally posted by topbanana View PostComment

I stand corrected lol. Just read on the Whitby site about them, I'll stick with shimano for my f/s.Regards Nicky.
