spinning reels

Sakura make some very good salt water spinning reels I've had one of their alpax reels for years which I bought when I first started not as refined as some reels but very good for the price very smooth from what I can remember from using it.
The specs on the newer versions looks good
 

For another tenner or so
 
Hi the shimano ultegra for a few more quid is a great reel should last you a long time . Or a sienna for 30 quid I bet that would be a great reel to . Although not seen one of them I have a few 20 quid cheaper end shimanos that have seen loads of fish and years and still fine.
 
ordered 1 abu 176, and 1 abu 177. thank to all for input.
Good choice, I have a 174 sw fd and found it good for spinning in tidal and the sea. 2 for the price of a Penn Spinfisher. Enjoy.
I put a small drop of reel oil on the spindle and bail arm hinges.
