      Ok, so I got one...

      I know there are some bad reports of penn reels, but after hours of research, and finding lots of good reviews of the fierce, I went with the Penn Fierce 6000.

      Full price is £80, it's got a full metal body and shielded bearings, so should be fairly solid. Havent used it yet but it feels really smooth out of the box.

      I got it for £55 in NETS. treated myself to a beta seat box as well, I'm risking looking like I know what I'm doing now!


      Also, I HAD to get a new rod...it wasn't right putting the new reel on my old 10 quid go outdoors rod, so I've ordered a powerstix 11' 6 pro bass 2-4oz.

      I'm not obessesed with Penn or anything, and I didn't just get it so it matched! It just happened that the best rod I could find (going by hours of reading reviews) in my price range was the powerstix. I got it for £69, it's been replaced with the rampage now, but I couldn't find one bad review of the powerstix.

      Looking forward to the rod arriving, and getting out to christen them. Probably too skint to buy bait now though! Could go out spinning and try for a Bass though !

      Thanks everyone for all the input.
