Re: 2500 size reel
Daiwa procaster 2500 not a bad reel at around your budget, also a Daiwa Sweepfire also within budget. The Procaster would be the higher spec of the two.

Id choose the Shimano Catana 2500. Or the Exage. There is a new model of the Exage just released, you might get a good deal on the one being phased out

Re: 2500 size reel
look at the Penn Battle a cracker of a reel it also comes with a spare alu spool, you might have to spend a little bit more but well worth it

Re: 2500 size reel
Henrys Tackle had a couple of Mitchel Mag Pro reels to clear recently. Only €60 and they are a cracking reel. He might not have any left, but it would be well worth a look.

Have to agree here the battle is great.JOHN1 wrote:look at the Penn Battle a cracker of a reel it also comes with a spare alu spool, you might have to spend a little bit more but well worth it
The Surecatch unity 30 is slightly bigger but superb too ( no spare spool though)

I have a couple of cantanas and can't fault them for the price. They come with a second spool which is handy.
