Hello

Can anyone recommend a really good fixed spool fishing reel, please??
I’m a pleasure angler, who has been using Mitchells in the past, moved onto an Okuma reel a few years ago, but the bail arm has started playing up.
I will strip it and clean it this weekend.

A new reel - It doesn’t have to be cheap, a good Match reel would be nice.
Any help / advise, please???

Thanks

Look at the Shimano range. Many price bracket/models. I've never been let down by one ever.

Great little reels... very smooth, great drag. I have a 2500 size on my pellet wag set rod.

+1 Baitrunner would be my choice. Again used them for many years (read + 30) and still going strong.
