Multiplier reels

[welshsteve]

I am thinking of getting a new multiplier , I currently use an abu 7000 with the level wind removed but to be honest I find the retrive a bit slow on rough ground does anyone have a few suggestions of a good allrounder with a higher retrive rate?

I like my TLD20 from Shimano, the lever drag is superb and the retrive rate is good, we oftern fish in deep water, and I have never looked back after buying it 2 years ago.

Slosh 20 or 30.Good reliable workhorses,have used my daiwa slosh20 for congering(rough ground),beach bassing and on a boat macky/pollacking with no problems.

Nice one guys thanks for the replys, the slosh 20 is on my list along with the penn 525 mag and the ABU 6500 ct mag elite but it is tough to choose between them.

go for the 7ht mag what a great tool and easy too cast.

The retrieve rate and physical size of the 6500 mag elite gears don't lend themselves well to rough ground work,although it is an excellent tool for long range clean/semi rough ground.

The sloshes have a well proven record for being reliable and bullet proof, with the right tuning will serve you well, but not great on distance. The price however may sway you in their favour.

The penns are in my opinion somewhere between the abu and daiwa's
Other options to perhaps consider would be shimano torium 14, daiwa saltist 20h/30h. These opinions are based on over 30 years beach fishing experience.

Hope this helps

Nice one codhead/outrigger, a mate is brave enough to loan me his 525 mag so I will try that for size and see how I go.
