  • Greys mag 7 v Okuma magnetix

    I am fancying slashing out on a new multiplier, but am a bit strapped so price range limited. Have been looking at Greys mag 7, and Okuma magnetix, both maybe in price range. Any advice on merits of both these reels would be great, want to use on all kinds of marks, and good casting a help.

    Thanks.

    Got the okuma magnetix 20 without level wind the only fault I can find with it is the spool is too small. I can empty it with ease and Im not the biggest chucka either.
    Nothing makes a fish bigger than ALMOST being caught

            Bought the okuma magnetix 30 and couldnt get away with it, could put plenty line on it but the reel felt too bulky, got the magnetix 20 and as
            one of the above posts mentions you can easily empty the spool,but the
            reel itself is spot on, cant fault it.

                  why not the greys 6 - capacity for loads of 15lb, or enough 30lb quality line. only problem may be the anti reverse bearing but its very easy to fix

                    like the other lads say mate try flea bay just make sure wot you get has got all wot it says ie magnets or brakes because sometimes they've been removed and not put back in
                    but i would go with a slosh20/30 or a 525 mate cnt get anybetter than them

                      unless u fish heavy line then look for a 525 or 7000 second hand

                        Go for the greys mate u will get a new 1 for the same price as a second hand slosh and if u buy new from the shop it should come with a warranty.

                          Greys have a bad review mate plus they are £60 you can get a mint second hand slosh for £45-£50 also there on ebay brand new for £75
