I keep reading this thread as Crap Fishermen 
My best is a 2lb trout. I don't fish. I caught 11 of them with a spinner in a loch in Scotland 
I would rather lose by a mile because i built my own car, than win by an inch because someone else built it for me.

Shimano bait runners are the balls mate! £50 is cheap tho so I'd be wary.

Serious advice mate you're better off buying a better reel second hand as you'll always get your money back if it's not for you. Second hand gear is normally in top condition as fishermen look after their gear.

i have shimano bait runners and used them for years now, and they never given me a problem.
some of the daiwa ones are decent for that price range.
i find some of the cheaper shimanos feel a bit cheap and plasticy

Bait boats aren't cheating! How many times have you walked round a water and seen 20's hiding under low hanging branches and had no way to cast to them? I just laugh when I'm pulling them out for fun and other people are tangled in a tree. If I'm paying top prices to fish then I do whatever to make sure I catch.
