A sl30sh has a capacity of 300m of 20lb, you will get reels that hold more yes but you will be sacrificing casting distance. Tope from the shore is it :mrgreen:

Used to have no problem 10 years ago , even a day hauling mackerel wasn't a problem ...... now I feel as if it would be easier to swim out for it , or throw the rod over me shoulder and walk up the beach.. old age at the gate I think :roll:
