emblem scw gold spool versus new shimano xte versus new fox xc. need help deciding what new reels to get with a total budget of £600.
I went for the emblem 45 scw qd SD, felt better, lighter/more balanced under the rod than the Xte, spool/drag on the 45 scw qd sd is also top.
Only the spare spool spooled up, the standard spool is in 0.35mm 700m (765yd)
SD

As an alternative, the Penn Affinity's get rave reviews on here. And you'll save yourself a packet as they're about half the price.
