Just a little update on this fixed spool caper. I bought a trio rex and it exploded so now have to eat my words lol. I did manage to pick up a first model ultegra xt 14000 and it's an awesome reel. Cranks for fun with little or no flex.
Also if you have a limited budget ie you don't have 3/4/500 quid or more for top spec shimanos and daiwas, seriously have a look at the daiwa emblem s 5000/5500/6000ts. Proper strong reels for not a lot of money on the bay. Sure they don't have all the bells and whistles but what they do have is plenty of grunt and as robust as you need. Make sure you get a japan model and not the rerun they brought out.Last edited by topbanana; 23-01-2015, 06:39 PM.Regards Nicky.

I love my Daiwa Tournament 6000t also but the other reel is an ultegra and it needs a bit of attention now so instead of buying some spares it might just pay me to try one of the Okumas.
Thanks again for your reply, Ian.
