hi all im lookin to get a new multiplier for a shakespeare salt beach mx. i would like to spend upto about £90 i have looked at an okuma magnetix, a abu 7000i and the daiwa slosh 20-30 but not sure what 1 to go for i am certainly tempted by the slosh. what slosh is best for mixed fishing from sandy ground too rough rocky ground

I would say whichever you feel more comfortable with. Bearing in mind the 30 will work better with thicker line for fishing the rougher ground ie 30lb line, and the 20 would be a hell of a lot easier to cast over sandy ground with 15lb line over a decent distance.
If you fish cleaner ground more often, then i would be more tempted by the 20 as it would be easier to cast 15lb line plus shockleader without a fluff.

look out for second hand ones i got a bargain at the boot sale today a penn 525 super mag like new all thats missing the stickers its spanking new £28 suprise

may just be the best buy of the year 4 me big grin

as for the reels i would go for the penn 525 mag of sum sort but the slosh 20 and 30 are good reels not as good as the penn ones tho

Not to go against the grain codfather, but I replaced my 525 mag xtra with a sealine x slosh 20, similar reel, but in my opinion, just slightly better than the penn
