Looking for a reel mainly for medium to light feeder fishing. Don't want to spend more than £40. What spec should i be looking for, ratio's, number of ball bearings, drags etc. Also any make or models to avoid? Any ideas!

i use shimano aswell i picked up two gt4500's off ebay for £50 for the pair mainly for my carp fishing but i use them on my feeder rods now and they are great they have 3 ball bearings and baitrunner but if you look around then you can get them without the baitrunner for about £20 - £30

its strange isnt it, do have a shimano stradic GTM, but i much prefer my daiwa reels,
my closest friend only uses shimano,s
ive allways used daiwa reels ,not a lot to choose between the makes,,i think shimano are more expensive.
its all down to what you like.

i got a daiwa 2503 cu (front drag),, a storming little reel that,, dont think you'll find one for 40lb though matey,,
i did get a shimano stradic 3000 fg (front drag)off ebay though matey,, with 2 spare spools and as new,, for £45 delivered,,,
as im sure others might agree,,,, thats a good reel too,,, cost around £130 to £140 in shops!!!!
id really advise you to go for a front drag mate,, as they are alot smoother than front drags,,
some people,, as nathan stated,, dont use drags,,, and its each to there own like,, but for the life of me i cant see how or why people prefer to backwind,,,
a drag acts instantly to a fish lunging,, and human reflex's just arent fast enough for me!!!!:cool::cool:"LEAKY LLOYD",,,,"TURNING NO HOPERS INTO FLYERS"!:cool::cool::rolleyes::p
