Cheap electric reel advice.
Submitted by crano on Mon, 2015-02-16 19:41
I am looking at buying a cheap electric reel for the wife to use in Coral Bay in May as she went ass up and broke her shoulder making her a bit handicapped when it comes to winding up fish.We need her fishing as she catches the most reds.I just want something to drag up fish from 60m and she may have to stick it in the rod holder and press the button after hooking the fish.
I have looked at what is around on the net and have found a couple of cheapys.One is a WFT electra speed 700pr and there is also the banax ones.They are both $400 to $500.Do you think they would survive keeping in mind we hook a few sharks.
Interested in opinions as I know nothing about them.
If anyone has something second hand for sale I would be interested.
Thanks.

OR
Some sites sell second hand but good cond diawas and shamanos , haha spelling!!!
slightly older models around 200-300 , we got a couple and there strong ,work well.
One got up a 6 foot whaler at CB , but with all /most electrics , when you hook a monster , you really need to play it out mannually to save the reel.
