  If you are in the market for a new FS reel that is hugely capable, check out the Penn Tidal XT. It does everything you need a reel to do!<br>Jansen<br><br><a href="https://www.veals.co.uk/product/penn-tidal-xt-long-cast-8000/?aff=27">https://www.veals.co.uk/product/penn-tidal-xt-long-cast-8000/?aff=27</a>

  Multis on my big rods, fixed spool for lure and float fishing.

  I personally can&apos;t cast a fixed spool like I can a multi.<br>It just doesn&apos;t happen for me.<br>I can&apos;t bend the rod with what feels like having a great clumsy lump on the butt.

  My first time using a multiplier, &nbsp;tangled it , tried to fix it , second cast , tangled it again, third and final cast , bird nest . And that was me using a multiplier. Such a unnecessary headache when you can do it much easier with a fixed spool reel .

  Those modern fixed spools are far too expensive for me. I fish mostly clean ground and still use Abu 6500s which I love casting with. Don’t like casting with fixed spools when I do use them, too heavy and clunky for my liking. Can definitely see the advantage for rougher ground and deep water though.

  After almost 60 years of fishing with fixed spool only, I&apos;ve always had a hankering to try a multiplier, but the dreaded birds nest threat has always put me off. &nbsp;I have an analytical brain, the desire to beat my demons and conquer what is causing my fear, so more and more, I want to give it a try. &nbsp;My current beach fishing set up is a Penn Tidal XR and a Penn Surfblaster III in size 8000. I&apos;ve been told time and time again to just stick with what I have and not put myself through the heartache, but my brain is refusing to allow me to give in.<br><br>I have a disability and my casting isn&apos;t the best, so distance is and has never been the be all and end all for me, after all, fish can be anywhere in the sea. <br><br>I&apos;m also left handed and cannot for the life of me use a right hand wind reel, you may say, &quot;get over it&quot;, well I can&apos;t, I simply cannot co-ordinate and change my ways. <br><br>Please talk me out of it.😁.

  Nice video 👍 i definitely think this is down to personal preference at the end of the day, there is an argument for both sides and at the end of the day its what the individual is comfortable with and what product gives there fishing the most enjoyment. I personally love my casting specials paired up with a t900 and compressor ss for the bristol channel and use fixed spool bait runners for my winter pike fishing 🎣

  I like the multiplyer for rays hounds spurs etc and fixed spool for bass flounder,, basically multi on the 2 piece rods, and fixed spool on the continental rods

  Fixed spool now especially teamed up with a good quality continental rods. Sublime distance can be achieved.

  Another good video! Thank you, Jansen. One thing that needs to be considered is, how the rod is rung. Some rods are rung for multipliers, some &nbsp;are just for fixed spool but fortunately, more rods these days are hybrid rung. You can use a fs reel on a multiplier rod but you cannot us a multiplier on a fs rung rod so always best to check first before buying the reel.

  I use Penn tidal xt in snaggy weedy areas &nbsp;and heavy braid &nbsp;but still love my multipliers and use them most on smooth to medium ground , but I do see all the good points of a decent long cast reel

  Have tried a few friends&apos; fixed spool reels and cannot cast them smoothly at all, seems to be snatchy and affects my bait presentation i gound by casting a bait out then a minute later reeling it back in to check it👎<br>Multipliers on the other hand, have served me just right over the last 20yrs, cast far enough and retrieve over my local patchy ground just nicely👌<br>Double up for uptiding very nicely too👍
