multiplyer
I have been given a Abu 7000 by my granddad as a present and so far I have
got on well enough with it to want to buy another multiplier. I want one with a level wind because I basically can't be bothered to waste my time concentrating on the line and (hopefully) the fish on the end. I know you lose distance in the cast but that to I am not fussed about. What I really need to know is what else to take into consideration when buying. I know that it needs to be a "surf) reel for distance on the beach and that the material it is made from should be probably aluminium or stainless steal but what I am unsure of is things like the magnets, washers being resistant to heat and anything else that I should look for. I know that some people will say that it depends on what you are fishing for and were but all I am looking for is the reel that won't break after a few years and won't cost the earth. something around the £100 mark All help will be appreciated. |

Try to get hold of an old ABU mag 3 or something similar, they have a free
floating level wind. "willherb" wrote in message ... I have been given a Abu 7000 by my granddad as a present and so far I have got on well enough with it to want to buy another multiplier.

Hi
Try an abu 6500CS rocket £80, Abu CS elite, abu CS mag elite CS is the levelwind version)or the diawa millionaire, all great for clean beach fishing. Abu 7000 better for rough ground fishing.
