Default 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.

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.

Regards,

Colin Sloanes
