Thats right- I'm after a decent fixed spool beachcaster. Nothing thats going to break the bank but something with a bit of backbone for Winter fishing.

I'm interested to see which (if any) you lads would opt for (and against for that matter0.

Cheers

Ive got a Penn Surfmaster 750 & i dont think you'll get any better for the money, you can get great distance with it......

I got a new Penn 750 from Gerry's, it lasted a week, all the head unit was loose, couldn't wind the line on the spool, they don't seem to made them like they did. Penn replaced it with a new one. No way would i buy Penns latest offerings again .
