Boat reel recomendations

[Budgie]

Looking to buy a boat reel for inshore wrecking and rough ground work with the occasional trips to deep water wrecks. Bit of a general work horse really.
What do you recomend fellas. All suggestions greatly appreciated.

My mate has a tld 15 and they seem very good reels can pick them up for £85 new around £45-50 second hand

Thanks mate first one to look at

I've never really owned a "good" boat reel always managed with cheap okuma reels. Just bought a silstar lever drag for £5 see how it fairs. I've been trying to get my hands on a tld myself but missed out by £1 on a tld 10 on eBay.

As said, the Shimano TLD15 sounds about the right choice for what you require. Well priced & good quality.

I was recently in ID Tackle and the subject of boat reel reliability was being discussed. The tackle shop owner stated that he gets many boat reels returned within their warranty period and many reels brought in for service and/or repair. In his opinion, based upon reliability and all round durability, the reels that came out on top were those in the Daiwa "Sealine" range.

diawa sealine 400h or sealine 450h been using for a few years now good solid reliable reels they bring double figure fish up easy.

David you can have a Penn 330GTI or a Diawa Firewolf 47X from me for £40. Can bring it with me when we come down. I had thought they were sold on Fisherman's locker, but just a timewaster. Both in great nick. I bought a couple of Shimanos, so need rid of the others.
