Used coarse reels
Here are used coarse reels from UK sellers, including feeder, match and float reels. Each listing links to the original sale.
A reel should wind smoothly with no grinding, and the bail arm should close cleanly. Check that the line roller turns and the spool lip is free of chips.
Ask whether the drag works smoothly and whether spare spools are included. Even line lay in the photos suggests the reel is working as it should.
Reels post easily, so postage is usually modest. Where a card shows a 'buy new from' price, you can compare it with the same reel at reputable online tackle shops.
Match the reel size to your rod and the line you plan to use, as smaller reels suit light float work. Feeder reels need a smooth drag for playing fish on fine hooklengths.
A reel with a spare shallow spool makes it easier to fish light lines without backing.
