What reels do you all use?

[roryh]

Apart from the fixed spool stuff i use regularly, am stepping onto multipliers come summer. Oh and an old hardy perfect that was my grandads for fly it still works like new.

 

Didn't realise it was a 2005 thread till i read Kens post! doh!

When you do start using multiplyers Roryh, don't spend hundreds on them because some one say,s it'll do this and that etc, it's a jap that why it costs so much, it's got ten ball bearing races etc, go on ebay and have some fun spending as little as possible, quite cheaply you will find out what you like and dislike. I have got many reels none apart from a large penn i paid alot for, so it's no big deal when you have to move onto another, you can take them apart, oil them, clean them without worrying if some thing is going to break, can i afford to get it fixed etc. I bought a second hand 6/0 my fav, Norm B will confirm, many years ago in the harbour shop near you, still using it to pull up the lunkers. I'm still jealous of Norm B's new reel though.

Looks like good sound advice Barry cheers, i'm not a huge fan of spending more than i have to in the first place lol

But good idea for learning the ropes especially ta!

I picked up on this thread and got to page three before I realised it was a 2005 thread, having said that I read on and very interesting it was, I guess by now Chester has knocked the wall out and extended that room to house more reels

 

It would be interesting to hear how some of those 2005 collections have moved on and how the reels are still performing.

not quite but i'm up to the ceiling ,just one more space over the door!

 

its getting difficult too many intrepid collectors and most have too much money

i ofcourse dont use any ,the seastreak carbon although a good reel is beyond me and the rest too old and heavy

I like the look of that pink coloured reel Chester what make is it?

Nice selection of reels Chester ...

 

I personally only collect Multiplier reels, I have possibly 6/7 fixed spool reels for usage, but none are in my possession as a collectors item. I've had a few Centre Pin and the odd fly reels, again for personal use, or to move on.

 

Chester … have you all the Intrepid range of Multiplier reels?
