It was pretty poor to be honest. No mackerel on either day, though we didn't try that hard for them. Just wrasse up to 2lb and a few straps during daylight, and the same into darkness. I did have something on briefly that bit clean through my 100lb pulley rig trace line. My mate had the smallest...
Hi Colin, many thanks and yep I've decided to get the standard BG8000.
(Fished our old mark up on the Lleyn this last Friday & Saturday. First time for 2 years.)
Hey gang,
I'm looking for any recommendations for a fixed spool reel with suitable guts and line capacity (braid probably) for Common skate from the shore.

I bought a couple of the live liner reels from my local Lidl earlier this year. They were still £12.99.
I used the larger 5000 size one last Friday for Wrasseing on Portland.(y)
Fair play never done Norway, but know what you mean about dogs and ting.
There should be some "long grey slimy cod" from the mark were looking at on Friday. (At night time most probably) :)
Going to recce a cheeky little rock mark in daylight with my M8 on Friday, with a view to doing an all nighter later in the month.
First trip this year with the heavy stuff.
