When buying a new
multiplier reel for boat fishing, there are several things to take in
to consideration. Strength, Weight, Cost, Capacity, and star/lever
drag etc. The reel that is perfect for drifting small worm baits for
plaice is not going to be the same as the perfect reel for giant
common skate.

Penn
Rival Level Wind 15. This is a great reel for kids, it is
compact, lightweight and the level wind means they do not need to
worry about thumbing the line on to the spool. It would also be a
great small reel for inshore fishing for flatfish, small pollock and
coalies. At less than £100 it also makes for a really good option
for people who are just getting in to fishing and want quality with
out a big price tag.

PennSquall II 30 SD Star Drag Multiplier Reel: a
brilliant all rounder – this reel is going to cover lots of bases.
Whether
you are drifting inshore, working lures or even light wreck fishing
this could be the reel for you. The
graphite frame gives strength but keeps the weight down and
there
is plenty line capacity. While
it did originally
have
a price tag of £240 it can now be snapped up for under £100. A REEL bargain!

Shimano
TLD II Speed these
alongside
the single
speed versions are
real
work horse reels used in the UK
for heavy wrecking, skate fishing and shark fishing. TLD’s
are legends in the fishing world as
they are almost
bomb proof and capable of withstanding huge amounts of punishment.
Teamed up with 30lb and 50lb rods these reels will make catching the
biggest
ling and conger from deep-water wrecks child’s play.

Shimano
Tyrnos 2 Speed and single
speed – If the TLD’s are the work horses
then
these are the heavy armour as
they are built for the biggest fastest fish in the sea. In
the UK
we are talking about deep water skate over 100lbs, blue and porbeagle
sharks up to 300lbs and even Atlantic blue fin tuna. These
reels are an
all
metal construction with a power handle (a
large rubber ball handle)
or
a T handle on the big daddy 50lrs
(long range special) .
The
20,30 and
50
sizes
have lugs to attach your fighting harness to. They have oversized
gears creating lots of torque to get the biggest fish moving.

you’re fishing for, there is a reel and a budget to
