John Pain - RIP

What a Dapper!

Besides being a fine fisherman, John was also a real Gent. He was the archetype of good. You will be missed by many.. Have fun and catch all the fish :) Cass

Just a little note, if anyone does try to remove the bearings from their pin make sure you do not tap on the middle part of the bearing (not sure of the exact name for this part) marked in the picture by an 'x'. If you do you may dent it and this can put pressure on the bearings inside. Probably...

I bought one of these reels a little while ago. Although it spun perfectly there was a slight grinding noise coming from the bearings that I wasn't happy with.

Thank you BFW team for allowing me to post this message. As some may know a new group called the Thames Anglers Conservancy has recently been launched. We are a group composed primarily of anglers who want to help conserve the River Thames habitat for the enjoyment of everyone. In order to do...
