you can pick them up new for under 50 pounds i think cant go wrong with a slosh 20 or 30 have a look on ebay mate dont buy a cheapest of the cheap multi cos it wont last

if its rocky and you want an all rounder ( that would do light line work)i would go for a penn 525 mag, if its pure heavyground/species work i would go for a slosh 30, ive got 3 2 with mono and one with braid, they are mega, complete work horse that gets the job done well, casts good, retrieves fast, strong , robust, good line capacity,

the same goes for the slosh 20 although you will loose line capacity, i have found the bigger reel great, i use it in the reel down position and have plenty grip on the spool

I'm the same as far as which multi to buy:crazy:
I tried this question on a similar thread, fishing a mix of clean and rough ground.

Veals have the Daiwa Slosh 20 and 7HT at a good price brand new, there's on ly £5 difference between them the 7HT being more expensive, can anyone recommend which one?

pick the sl20 unless you want a pure casting reel that to be fair has no guts in it if you hook something reasonable

Hi,

:thumbs:Thanks for that I'll be looking to get one soon, my casting needs practice but by the sound of things the slosh is the one to give me more variety.
