I'm looking for a new reel for spodding. At present I,m using a Diawa Regal Z but whilest spodding during my last session I ripped the line clip completely off. can any one recommend a stronger reel with a more robust line clip

daiwa emblem s5000t - can get them seriously cheap these days. big spool, good line lay, big handle to crank the spods back

I have used a Shimano Biomaster GT8000 for my spodding for many years without any problems and it was well used before it was relegated to that job. Not the nicest smoothest big pit reel on the market as they are a very old design now, but they are very robust and should give years of service.

Any large spooled surfcasting fixed spool.You can pick one of these up for ?30 with a decent line lay.Bigger the spool the better.

I'd look at secondhand, that way you'd get a lot of reel for not a lot of lay-out. I'd stick with Shimano and follow the advice given above.

it's quite possible that I may put pen to paper (finger to keyboard) again soon.......
With a week in France just 8 weeks away then the juices are starting to flow again and with questions flowing back and forth on an almosy hourly basis then there looks as though I've got the material to produce a few
