    DAIWA SENSOR LINE PROBLEMS

    Hi Alex and all these are some modifications to stop the spool from breaking. The ones with the single nut and bolt should stop the problem and the ones with the two bolts are so that i can inset a pen or pencil and in my case a line spooler to run off line. I have had a few replies from Daiwa...

    DAIWA SENSOR LINE PROBLEMS

    Hi Christion I am very happy with the line, I have been using it for many years, it’s those bloody spools that are the problem. I shall continue to use the rest of the spools that I have in stock, after that I will change. 5 spools ruined is a joke. Cheers mate Brian

    DAIWA SENSOR LINE PROBLEMS

    Hi David That makes complete sense, I have decided I shall not be buying any more of this product, I blame Daiwa for not sorting out this problem which I would assume they know about. I shall be using some Guru line and also get some of the Gardner line that you mentioned John. Again it’s...

    What are your top ten angling books?

    Hi Guys, I have many books by so many anglers, and quite a few are signed, but I suppose it has to be any book by Chris Yates, they are easy to read and no technical rig advice which I find at times complicated and boring, with the writing by Chris i find that I am almost on the banks with him...
