hi all
i am thinking of getting some new reels to go with my new flatte rods
which should be best multiplyers or fixd spools since onlt chucking 2 or 3 ozs

thx

i would get a fixed spool, because flounders come into shore very very close, about 5-8 metres. and fishing with a multiplier close in, will let out too much line and might give you a birds nest, thats if you have lots of coil memory.

Penn 525 great ratio on return plus small and strong

With the new penn 525 mag coming out the older Penn 525 mags will drop in price

If I can cast with them then anyone can

Hi ross,
for flatty bashing i too would use a fixed spool reel ,
it gives you the choice of spinning , float spinning ,and of course ledgering ,
depending on whats working best at the time ,
but richard is right if your going for a multi then the supermag wins hands down , me i have a problem casting short distances with a multi lol ,
hence fixed spool ,

cheers lee.

Would always use a fixed spool for floundering

525 could be a bit big for a flatty rod but gotta be the best multi about (not sure about the size of new 1?)

7HT would be great for flattie bashing,small light and you can pick dead cheep 2nd hand ones up now.
I am biast towards multies tho,after years 25 yrs of fixed spool use i wouldnt go back.
