In Sussex, Shoreham beach, Peacehaven, Brighton Marina and Newhaven are all good spots. I'm just getting used to fishing that coastline myself. I think Saltdean and Rottingdean are rocky marks. Incidentally, I've going to Peacehaven this Saturday (11th) morning if you're interested, Andy G will also be there.

This is the reel I've got, well worth £70.

dont get the xk4000 it works fine for a while then starts birdyin every cast after a while

Sorry to sound a little thick Steve, but is that because the braking system wears down? Or do the components just wear out?

not sure just seems to go dodgey after a while :S

i got the aerlex 8000, had it a few years now, i love it, only - point it comes with only one spool....

Welcome Gazza.

I have a pair of 525's and they are excellent reels. They cast well and handle most ground. Just watch out for the mag setting as sometimes it can be moved to "fast" by accident... instant birdie!

Cheers

i have a 525 aswel and havnt had a birdy yet

got a slosh 30 and abu aswel which are both good reels but have had a few birdies with both of them

the slosh is a bit 2 big for me thow really and the abu hasnt had any problems up until now so it lasted fine for 2 years

well from brighton to eastbourne its quite rocky with beachy head near eastbourne but you have to whact out for the tides around beachy head
there are ony one or two places you can get down on the rocks as i would not recomend climbing as its all chalk rock but their is the od stair case down here and there
