 Posted: Sat Aug 02, 2008 11:15 am Post subject: Hi there, I am after some Reel advice. |
 |
|
I have been sea fishing for around 20 years and never used a multiplier  I am now looking to convert and was wondering how do you tell the difference between a boat and a sea fishing multiplier?
I have looked at a lot of reels on websites but they dont seem to make it clear, also what sort of reel would you recommend for a beginner in the world of multipliers.
Thanks in advance. |

i have one mate!
top reel for mine hardley ever birdsnests!

i can nearly empty the spool on mine!
they dont hold much line but there fine for shore fishing.  |

| Any particular reason for saying go for the 20 instead of the 30 as they are the same price? |

better handling mate?
i find it a lot easier to control than my sl30sh?
thats all im thinking but go to your tackle shop and have a feel of them on a rod from the shop then you can pick the one you like!

| Why bother with a multipler - they take for ever to reel in and you get birdsnest tangles which leave you fiddling about on the beach for hours instead of fishing. This will probably start a rucus but I believe in commonsense. |

Don't blame you Keith, but I just don't care - I was always in trouble for being gobby at work so why change the habit of a lifetime LOL. |

I think your getting confused with ABU - the Okuma is the LS (LevelWind Series). |
Kieran is 100% correct,
I have 2 Mg30-cs' for boat fishing,non-levelwind......the 20 is the smaller
version ideal for the shore,cracking reels for the money! |

I have just started using a multiplier alongside my fs. My multiplier has levelwind and I don't find any problems with it for casting. I admit I don't get as far with my casting as I would when using my fs but like all things it's just practice and I'm now getting there. It's a matter of preference really. Go with the one you fill best with
