Reels

[DEEP SEA]

I want to know you views on the best reels on the market the perfect alround reel.

[shaun]

slosh 20 is a good alrounder and not a to expensive.

[gary2010]

for me its the 525 mag but the slosh 20 is just as good and a little bit cheeper

[RedcarUk]

525 mag best all round reel by far casts great strong and robust.

[tonynufc]

slosh 30 for the heavy stuff and 525 mag for the rivers and beaches is my choice.

I agree, owned both and both are spot on reels that are pretty bomb proof

Slosh or penn 525-535 pretty much covers it

Im looking at getting a Penn Surfmaster 850. Has anyone had one before or know much about them?

[greggthe1]

Yip had one but only any good on clean ground. Mine bust when i fished a beach covered in weed.
Good fast retrieve and a nice reel if like i said you are going to be fishing clean ground.

[backintofishing]

Yeah just read a few bad reports on them. Im now looking at either a Spro 460 or a Mitchell 7000. Torn between them.

Basically I want something not too expensive that is good for casting at distance.

For rough ground i use a penn 535, very tough/reliable reel with quite a fast retrieve.
For clean ground i use an abu 6500 c3 mag elite.
For boat angling i use penn tld 15.

[el_sid]

slosh is a great reel for the money and rough ground

original 6500 blue elite for clean ground and distance

Thanks lads but I am wanting a fixed spool.
