Fixed Spool Advice

[Tonyc]

A colleague of mine has asked if I could recomend a good fixed spool for general beach fishing. I know nothing about fixed spools as I always use multipliers. He has a budget of about £100, so I would have thought he should get a good one for that. Any advice would be great
