All I can say is Daiwa - been using a couple of the cheaper models for the last two years in all conditions with no problems (I do oil and clean regularly). |

Shimano if your budget will run to it or as Eccles said Daiwa are a good bet if looked after,my pair of Opus 5500s are still in really good shape after several years of use,hope this helps you decide,all the best,Mick  |

Daiwa Emcast all the way......I got a Daiwa BF5500 on Eccles advice a while back and it was only about 20 quid and an awesome reel but cant seem to find them now but for a budget of the size you have i would go for the emcast.
There are a few emcast models to choose from as well. |

i have been using a penn surfmaster 750 for the last 2 or so years. it is an amazing reel, still works really good and am going to confess do not clean it that regularly either. i bought mine for about £65 but now think they are around the £100 so is in your budget range.
thanks
