walshie 2,804 Posted June 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2016 Right hand winder for right handed, reel with the right and layer with left thumb Doesn't that feel odd to you even though if you were using a fixed spool you'd be using the other hand? Or is that just me because I'm cack-handed? Quote Link to post

NEWKID 27,152 Posted June 7, 2016 Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 I've got left and right hand multipliers, will use a small bait casting with small multiplier for on the kayak which is left handed, but my main boat reels are all right handed. Dave, you're only doing a bit of mackerel bashing mate, a fixed spool will be fine, if and when you want to get into wrecking/heavy reef fishing etc then look at your gear again. Unfortunately 1 rod doesn't suit all types of boat fishing..... But for mackerel bashing you could use a handline and fill a bucket. Quote Link to post

You should see me try to use a tin opener. Quote Link to post

8shot 191 Posted June 20, 2016 Report Share Posted June 20, 2016 You want to stop the boat for mackeral fishing a 9ft pier rod and a little fixed spool reel is ample enough. No point spending 100 quid just for maccy when a 25 quid outfit will last a couple of seasons. 2 Quote Link to post
