i got a daiwa millionere 6h on ebay a few weeks ago and a friend gave me a brand new abu amsassadeur the other day but havent tried either yet. might set up the beachcaster tomorrow and put the abu on my other rod and give it a go while im waiting(hoping) for a bite. a few people told me id be better off going to a beach or a field with a 2oz weight and start with 20yard casts and work up from that.

I changed from Fixed to Multi a few years ago now and i use 2 x Okuma Magnetix MG30 with level winds. First time iswapped ovr i found setting teh multi's up to not birds nest etc too ksome fine tuning but now of course it is a breeze.

When i first changed to multi found little dif in casting distances to begin with so dont be alramed if this happens to u also. After a fw sessions my cast's improved and now am very comfortable with them.

Once u ahve them set to your liking i find mutli's as easy as fixed and much mroe powerful in distance.

Only drawback i still have sometimes is when i want to cast short i am still a little nervious on these occasions but again it is more to do with settings on reels more than anything and i have had many successes with them.

Hope this has helped a little.

hi, if your casting techneq is right you will be able to cast at far with a multiplyer as fixed spool but if you technequ is slighty wrong the multiplyer will over run. go on www.johnholden.co.uk theres some cd/dvd roms that you can by theres videos and info on there about casting technequs and reels, ive the got them and they helped alot.
