Market place is good if you use a bit of common sense, cash on collection or before posting. I sold a motorbike on MP a few years ago, the lad came, looked, bought the bike subject to test ride, transferred me the money on the understanding that if he damaged the bike he bought it, if he didn't...

As far as I'm concerned it was a very negative comment, also quite hypocritical as is your last sentence in your quote above. Does your quarry have any say in the matter when you drag it form its' natural habitat? Is the grass Ian laid his fish on any more of a sharp object than the hook in...

I've been looking in since the "negative" post, waiting for a response by, hopefully Ian but also any other member. All I can say is; well restrained Ian!

Yeah, I saw that a while back. I reckon with modern CNC machining, it would take a really bad machinist to knock out a reel that didn't perform modestly well. Taking into account most of them, including that one, are bearings.

Just had a spin of the NGT in my local shop. I don't know if I'm missing something but it seems perfectly usable to me and if the bearings aren't up to much for longevity, a simple fix down the line. It's light as a feather, no drag but a thumb would solve that and a positive feeling ratchet.

Been looking myself, my old daiwa apron has seen better days. 2 or 4?

I'd value it a tenner................ I'll give you £20 😊

6lb here

Thanks for the input guys. I think it's going to be an acolyte 14' specimen. I already have a few float rods that will cover almost everthing, in fact, I think this is just going to be an indulgence perhaps when the new season starts.

Anyone have any experience with one of these. I'm in the market for a rod specifically for trotting, I'd sort of settled on the 14ft acolyte specimen after handling one on the bank, had a waggle with the 15ft in the shop and also saw this. It feels good in the hand, will double up into equal...

Anyone using silstar match team?

I really am talking cheap James;)

I think I'm going to try one, checked out ceramic bearings @ about £6.00 each if ceramic is the way to go?? I'm sure it'll be OK for rolling meat and more industrial tasks on the bank.

I've looked at a couple of the Aventa.

Thanks chaps.
