As title. Just wondering what you guys would recommend, I've for away with budget float reels for the last few years, but I'm getting a bit of a bonus next month so after a proper quality, smooth float reel for the rivers.
Budget, up to £175 mark. I've heard daiwa make good ones - this is one of those rare occasions that I won't be buying drennan lol.

Tdrs are also a good choice but if i could have any reel it would be the stradic, unbelievable reviews and with shimys you also get second to none after sales service.........go get one NOW !!  |

Rubbish thats tackle tart talk !! tell me why you would say/think that ?? some so called feeder reels make better long trottin reels than so called float reels because of the longer and deeper spools , so you can load em with heavier or lighter lines and the run off is better, same as some float reels are crackin short feeder reels and so on |

hmmmmmm,shimano's are the bizz,but I reckon the tdr will make a better reel.i used to use the team daiwa td1350 yrs back and they was blob on.the new ones are even better.preston reels seem to be on the ball aswell,although I would still go for the tdr.
dnt listen to mick he's into his fladens lol |

Can't go far wrong with shimano, but £175 on a reel is a lot. You could get a P2 for that I still use the old shimano aeros and can't fault them, but I have heard that the front drag Preston's are very good. |

Nope.... Aye don't get me started about a P2! I want one, but the wife would probably go berserk if another rod came through the post. Anyone offering to accept delivery on my behalf |
