Been out of carp fishing for 13yrs, just getting back into it and
needing to buy an entire setup, which is a task. .

In the past I hade the following big pits
Long casts
Sportsmatics
Entohs
Infinitys
Power aero 10000XTs

For me out of that list the best reel for build quality was the original longcast. However from
a function and also to look good think the infinities were best maybe just because
of the wooden handle and BR.

I've gone for x3 Emblem 45 SCW - Gold Spools as I got them for just ove 300 quid
used once.. Don't know if I'll still have them when I eventually hit the bank which will probably
be next year.
