<H4>Shimano Aerlex XS</H4>
With <B>Shimano</B>'s unequalled Aero Wrap line lay, long nosed tapered tournament spool, ultra smooth front drag and massive cranking handle it's a steal of a deal of a reel! Hradly suprising then that the <B>Shimano Aerlex</B> is the most popular spod reel on the market - given that this technique amaounts to repetitive strain injury on any reel - the <EM>Shimano Aerlex</EM> will continue to soak up the pressure for tears to come. You might have spent more on an inferior spodding reel before you saw the light - still you won't be the first or last. Call it spods law if you like but the smart money is on the <B>Aerlex</B>. Notwithstanding anything that is great for spod work is undoubtedly superb for surf casting work also; tough and uncompromising with great distance potential.

Fixed Spool Reel
!
A fixed spool reel has a non-rotating spool where a rotating bail is lifted allowing the line to run freely off the spool during a cast. The bail arm automatically returns to its original position when retrieving the line. Drag adjusters can be front, centre or rear by a finger screw. Some fixed spool reels have a baitrunner or freerunner facility. This system allows the spool to run freely whilst fishing a static bait allowing a fish to take bait without feeling resistance. Larger fixed spool reels are preferred by newcomers to shore angling as they are easier to cast and usually cost less than a multiplier reel.
