Good reels for casting long distances on clean sand but not really strong enough to cope with rocky , weedy ground

I don't know where you grew up fishing but sully island , Rhoose, Aberthaw, llantwit , nash point are snaggy places

If you were fishing off the knap pebbles onto sand .....Great reel
