Having watched various blokes messing about with multipliers for the past few years, I still don't understand why folk want to use them for beach fishing. I do have a rather posh Shimano meself but that is for boat work only as far as I am concerned. I suppose I can understand that one may be able to cast a few extra yards with a multi but that can't be any great advantage in most situations. I mean, if I can chuck around 140 yds with fixed spool on a 13 ft rod, why would I need to do anymore than that?
"Old George" - local bloke who is now 80 and what he doesn't know about fishing can be written on the back of a postage stamp, is still using the same set up after 50 years.

I only started using multies around this time last year mainly because i became disillusioned with rubbish rods and got myself a couple of good rods that just happened to be multie rods. I just found them nicer reels to cast big baits with if i need to. Rather like going from an escort van to an aston martin.  When i am going to fish really rocky ledges, i still take my big fixed spool with me as the retrieve is so much quicker thus avoiding two thirds of the snaggs as i can get my trace on the surface after a few rapid spins of the reel. I too have never understood why people think that multies are better for snaggy ground when they are next to useless. :confused: |

I would buy a Penn 525 supermag or one from that range,they are built very well ...not the lightest..but take plenty of line..and will cast 200yds (seen it not done it) ...and are simple to service....either from our inhouse engineer (Ewan) or you can DIY after a few learning screams...  ..all that said...I can still only cast mine 120yds....but affix a good quality high retrieve FS to the same century rod and my distance is 150yds(lead only). so the choice is yours....£50 squid will get you a good condition 525 off fleabay if you hunt around. I enoy using both set ups....  Gazza |

milob,
Go get yourself a couple of Shimano Trinidad 14's, use one and have the other as back-up, i love mine. awsome gearing, worth every penny.
cheers

cheers people, and eccles, i allways used to think the same, but eversince i borrowed, my mates, i know why people have them, i don't know what it is, i just like them, and they hold alot of liner aswell, with my fixed=spools, i casted all the line of two of them, maybey the line was to thick i dont no |

i switch to multi a few months ago and I wouldn't go back to FS. they're just so much nicer to use. A fixed spool just feels really bulky and and clumsy now. Much more comfortable to use a multi and decent rods are easier to get hold of when buying secondhand. |

old george must be the tightest git on the beach if he is using tackle that is 50 years old.the rods and reels by todays standards are far better.go for a multi.abu 6500,penn 525 or diawa.are the top 3 reels for the beach.as said before a good seconed hand one is better than a cheap copy.

..all that said...I can still only cast mine 120yds....but affix a good quality high retrieve FS
