Re: reel capacity
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

Re: reel capacity
Plenty out there that will hold a mile of line or more.
Depends on your intended application as to what will suit, and of course how much you wish to spend.

1st one is the only fixed spool reel, but probably about as big as you'll get

Re: reel capacity
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 thinksaving private brian wrote:does anyone find there arm getting sore from reeling a f/s reel after a bit
