For the shore, I had a Penn 535 Knobby for years and it was the best reel I have ever had

[pop65]

i have both saltist and 535 magged up both good reels for rough ground but i prefer saltist new 535 are only £120 new me mates just bought one they look spot on good retreive as well

Fathom mate or a trq if you can stretch ;-);-) . I have had both penn & daiwa reels and prefer the floating spool design as opposed to the fixed spindle design on the bg salty

Avet 5.3 sx mc well built just a little down on retreive compared with penn/saltist but Iam right into fixed spools and braid so don't use mine much.

slosh30 holds plenty 35lb line bomb proof fast retrive what more do you want

Slosh 30. Cheap, reliable and plenty winching power

Agree with the above,for the money can't beat the sloshe's or 535's will pull the plug out the bottom of the sea.If u want to spend a bit of hard earned,the saltist's n trq's are just magic proper hardcore

[Lance mcvey]

Saltist 30 are great reels have 3 also slosh 30s exellent above great of peirs cliffs and heavy stuff in my opinion thinking about a fixed spool me self for the winter

[Mackemchris]

Another vote for the Slosh 30 here.

[Pighunter]

Slosh 30s are pap £80 for a reel that will fall to bits if slightly abused penn trq is expensive but they do eveyrthing cast well and can snap your line with the drag power. But cheap buy twice

How about going retro ? At one time the only reliable reel for rough ground was the old ABU 9000C. Fast retrieve, high capacity with 45 lb straight through, automatic 2 speed gearing, brass side plates if you go for the black 9000 C. Gett a Swedish made one from the early 80s and they are bullet proof. Do an upgraded bearing conversion and they cast well too ;-)
