try shimano super ultegra 10000xsa its big very big and good reels its around 190e

I'd go for the Aerlex Matt, 50 bucks in most places and legendary on the Sea Circuit for Reliability. Well worth a look. They're boxy but they're good. Solid bit of kit for a fraction of the cost.

yeah either those or have a look at the navi`s

Daiwa Emblem S's are still about 50 sterling. Reliable old reel

Undoubtedly THE big pit at sensible price,had one for 15 years and it survived beachcasting,rockfishing (and not rinsed off after)and punishing spodding work.I gave it to friend for free that had little money and am sure will be doing similar work trouble free for another 15 years at least...

cheers for the replies lads...paul.c i hav 6 aerlexs...great little reels but wit the artrithis it just rips the hands, arms an shoulders out of me reeling in any long distance....if poss i dont want 2 buy from the uk because of wat happend wit my baitboat breaking an how much it wud cost 2 send it back 2 be fixed(120stg without parts or labour)i wud rather buy here but i dont hav big money 2 spend(about 300)anyone wit 1's for sale please....

what do you hope to gain matt by changing , the aerlexs are as easy or hard to peddle as anything else i have tried

ive tried pats longcasts an their a hell of alot easyer on my joints dan the aerlexs....at 150 yards pat wud be reeled in while i still wudnt be half way in wit aerlexs at the same distance....aerlexs 3.8:1 compared to longcasts 4.6:1 even the baby pits are 5.3:1...dats a big difference

yeah it takes longer to retrieve but its easier to peddle because of the low ratio .

matt diawa emcasts have 4:6:1 ratio, wont break the bank either

save up and get the long casts mat, best reel on the market

Plus you can give up your gym membership coz they weigh an absolute ton!

heavy is good

perfect for specimen roach or stalking situations.

perfect for long casting --bblc--- a single problem --not all the rods can support a reel like this---i have many friends with ncs and bblc but i am not sure if this reel will fit sonik rods for example....and this reels didn't come with spare spool!!it is ~25-30 £ one!!

The LC's are nearly 'Dan proof' (400,976.89 days of normal use to everyone else) so they will last you a lifetime.
Bit heavy, but they sit on bank sticks most of the time, or a pod if you bat for both sides.....
