The phrase "beach reels" covers a massive range of reels, from the large fixed spool reels to the multipliers. As materials have developed over the years the longevity has greatly increased with reels now being able to deter the affects of salt water corrosion. Important with the beach fixed spool is to size the reel to the rod you will be using to ensure you get a good balance.
