When looking at buying a New reel what should we look out for ..........
What other than the Price influences you to buy a Reel ?

I'm the same Steph, I don't care who makes them, I have reels I got as subscription offers from C.F. about 7 or 8 years ago and they're still going strong D.A.M. , I also have Daiwa, Okuma, Shakespeare, Shimano and Wychwood reels. If they feel right then they get a chance.I mean for myself Budget always plays a big part in what i buy, but if i had say £50.00p to buy a Reel with there are other aspects that would influence which reel i bought.
Believe it or not the Make of the Reel genuinely doesn't influence me a whole lot.
Spare Spools (Plastic or Metal), Reel Size, Ball Bearings, Instant Anti Reverse, even Handle choices influence me a lot when choosing a reel, and i have even started to check out the Line Clip as i tend to use one a lot when feeder fishing.
