Hello! I am new to fishing, and have decided that I am going to get involved with beach-casting as I live on the coast (I'm British by the way, so please excuse me if you use different terminology where you're from).
I am on a very tight budget, but I've bought a 12ft rod for £25 and I understand a reel is the next thing I need. Can anybody direct me as to what sort of reel I need for beach-casting, and what I can expect to purchase on a limited budget? I am prepared to pay a little more for quality but I really must look after the pennies, as I still have to buy the rest of my equipment!
If you could tell me what to look for in a beach-casting reel and give me a rough idea of UK prices I'd be most grateful. Any links so I can look at pictures or reviews would also be nice.
Thanks!
