Hi.
Has anybody any opinions/experience of these reels? Thinking of getting one for general/light boat work but none of my mates have ever tried them before.Im just looking for a reel that can handle maybe a half decent pollock in over 100ft of water.Cheers lads. Im a relative amateur to boat angling :oops: so all opinions or suggestions are greatly welcome.
Ps I can buy this reel for 40 euro

Dave

Cheap and problem nasty.
Line counters serve no purpose other than to keep your mind occupied while you are catching no fish.

Spend a bit extra and buy in the Penn 535 or a diawa slosh-30 class
You could pick up a good second hand one cheap

Some here, a bit more then you might spend but they will outlive a lot of other reels
