    Any I'd suggest would be more than 120 I'm afraid. You'll get a reasonable Daiwa in that weight for that money but probably not with a spare spool.
    Greys and Hardys are excellent long term investments but perhaps outside your budget. Check Adverts or EBay as there are often good deals on reels.

    I don't know the model but the make is very good.

    There are almost too many lines on the market and to be honest it's a matter of you get what you pay for.

    was browsing the net the other night and came across a rod and reel package so instead of new line i got a whole new setup

    15 vision gt four dh
    vision koma reel
    rio scandi versitip line #11

    all for the crazy price of 150e !! the line alone is worth that the rod seems to be about 300£ new some places 400£, the rod is like new all tubes and covers etc

    roll on january :) definitely getting lessons now to get the most out of it
