Afraid not old Bean! Shakespeare stuff is usually pretty good for the money though.

My only dealings with cheaper surf reels was a Mitchell Bluewater RZ 9000 which I bought when I couldn't get a Penn Surfblaster II due to Covid shortages. I've since picked up a 2nd hand Surfblaster for Norra lot of ££! The Mitchell reel is actually very good for the money, and Penn and Mitchell are all part of Pure Fishing anyway.

Thanks, I've had lots of Shakespeare coarse stuff, but not much in the way of salty, also looked at Shimano Aerlex, trouble is online I can't make out the size difference between them, seems only the £150 plus stuff gets any approval from the professional whiting harvesters, anyway it's fun looking.

Shimano Aerlex,

You would want the Shimano Aerlex 10000 XSB for beach work.Or this which is a bargain at that price.Have just bought a pair.

Most of the reels are pass downs was Penn affinity/Muffbusters then morph into shakespeare/mitchell/etc etc as newer models replace at top end plus also many are generic reels as Wychwood is similar reel and others.

Aerlex are all same size 6-8000 apart from 10'000 which has longer spool/travel

Cast a line and catch fish, don't need to distance cast here if you fish for what's there by your feet!

Now ordered an Agility Surf 70, as my rod and reel will stand like a sculpture, doesn't matter what I get? Just completed my fifth lure blank in a row, those YouTube videos have a lot to answer for, might just wait until the fish are actually there!
