Hi everyone,
I’m looking for a decent beginner bait caster reel. Something reliable, long lasting and easy for beginners to learn. Nothing that will break the bank though.
Has anyone personally used any of these?
Which would you recommend, if any?
Alternatives with better value for money without sacrificing reliability?
Thanks for taking the time to read this and hope to hear from you soon.
Tight lines!

- Smooth casting with minimal birds nests
- 7:1 reel speed
- Externally adjustable magnetic break system (not the one where you have to pull off the side plate)
- Rock solid frame and good build quality
- Okuma Ceymar (http://www.ganis.co.za/pi43921/ci71...s/low-profile-casting-reels/okuma-ceymar.html)
- Okuma Serrano (http://www.ganis.co.za/pi43922/ci71.../low-profile-casting-reels/okuma-serrano.html)
- Okuma Scorpio - Combo but reel is about the same price as the two above (http://www.ganis.co.za/pi44671/ci501/fishing-combo's/bass/casting/okuma-scorpio-baitcasting-combo.html)
