tackle - reels

Hi all,

thinking of buying a multiplier reel ( shore fishing - bass etc) - any recommendations, is it worth it or am i better off with fixed spool

thanks

i switched from fixed to multi in the summer and man i would never use a fixy again i bought a penn mag2 525 they are highly recomennded and im sure others will tell u the same here aswell, i recently upgraded myself with an early xmas present and got an abu tsr and what a reel, personally for me i love them and cant see myself ever useing a fixy again apart from spinning etc.... but as the saying goes dont buy until u try coz they are exspensive and take alot of time practicing before ull be able to results in distance etc.....but i would recommend either of the reels above, as i was advised by the top casters in the country dont need to mention names but u know who they are!!!!!!!!!!!!!

best of luck in ur endevours!!!!!!!!!

same with me i bought penn525mag in the spring and as lugworm said with a bit of advice and practising fixed spool reels are no more in role, if you buy one, and first few casts you fail just don't go dissapointed just need a bit of time
i'v already changed 4 sets of line, but now geting there
good luck to you

as the lads, been use'n a mags for 4 sessions and she's a cracker & work horse
never looked back.

good luck&tightlines

Fixed spool all the way.

Multi's have little or no advantage over fixed spools in 99 % of angling situations but the fixed spool has many advantages. None more so than being virtually hassle free.

pro's and cons to all, just expressing my own experience in switchin from fix to multi, each ti thier own i supose!!!!!!!
