Want a reel to put on my spod & marker Rods. In the £50-75 price range

Have got 2 Nash dwarf 4.5's.

Can't justify Matching Ultegra 5500's on my fishing rods at the minute so looking at other similar sized options

Have seen:

Okuma 6000inc
Nash BP6
Sonik xtractor 5000
Daiwa black widow

Anyone have any experience in comparing any of these and what would be best suited to spod and marker work? Or any other reels I haven't listed?

Xtractors are overpriced, used them and sold them for okuma 6000 inc which I feel are underpriced. Bobco tackle are doing them for £40 if you can catch them in stock.

Great line lay, retrieve and just decent all round quality. Not sure on longevity for spodding though.

I use the emcast 25a, could get them for £75 each but a lot of places out of stock at the moment.

The black widows look decent, I wonder if they are as easy to quick drag for marker work - has anyone tried? On the emcast you just remove a spring coil from the spool cap

a bit left field, but how about a couple of old shimano aerlex xs / xsa (blue silver) - they will be about perfect size.
