What would you recomemd for no more than £50 with at least 2 spools including the main one. It has to be rear drag and prefebly a freespool / baitrunner feture. I would prefer a good quility branded one ( mabie send me links )
Thanks

what size reels - if not more than 4000 then look at Shimano exage with fighting drag
Not bait runner but you can set the rear drag to how you want then set the fighting drag so allow the line to come off freely - when you pick up the rod you can tighten up the fighting drag to suit

I have a Mitchell predator 60 here which is rear drag and baitrunner.
However, the baitrunner isn't as good as on a front drag reel. You push the spool in to make it disengage, and it doesn't re-engage very quickly when you turn the reel handle.
