Fishing Reel Reviews Cast
Fishing from the seashore: please help a novice?
Hello! I am new to fishing, and have decided that I am going to get involved with beach-casting as I live on the coast (I’m British by the way, so please excuse me if you use different terminology where you’re from).
I am on a very tight budget, but I’ve bought a 12ft rod for £25 and I understand a reel is the next thing I need. Can anybody direct me as to what sort of reel I need for beach-casting, and what I can expect to purchase on a limited budget? I am prepared to pay a little more for quality but I really must look after the pennies, as I still have to buy the rest of my equipment!
If you could tell me what to look for in a beach-casting reel and give me a rough idea of UK prices I’d be most grateful. Any links so I can look at pictures or reviews would also be nice.
Thanks!

You want to be looking for one of the larger models of Fixed Spool Reels…they are easy to use and if you take care of it , it will last for years..The golden rule when buying a reel of this type is the more ball bearings it has the higher the quality n durability…look for features like a coned spool , instant anti reverse and anti line twist…Make sure you buy one with a proper Front Drag..
A budget of 30 quid should get you up n running..probably less if you shop around..Have a look at the Gerrys of Morecambe website..he has some good deals on all the time n the after sales service is second to none..Get a copy of Sea Angler magazine..they do some great features on budget tackle and the classified ads will give you some idea of what you should be looking for..
Hope that helps..
