You and your loved ones are in my thoughts Simon. Best wishes to you all

Good advice Michael, the lower is getting lots of pressure during the day at the moment but once things calm down theres plenty if bream come out during the daytime. I think the close season on the rest of the complex ends on the 1 June Dont ignore the 1 when it reopens, and don’t worry too...

👍 Good luck

There are a few pairs on Facebook Marketplace at the moment, worth a look and in my experience most sellers are open to an offer.

Nash Ultralite for me as well, my other chairs give me a bad back if I’m using them for a long session I even sold on one of those slightly ridiculous Solar armchair things because it was worse for my back

I can’t find bulk spools of Daiwa Tournament ST in 10lb online either

I tried to buy a bulk spool last week and it was all out of stock and the shop didn’t know when it was coming back into stock. Maybe it’s the plastic spool problems I’m also looking at alternatives, I bought some ESP syncro XP but it doesn’t stay on the spool well so I’m looking for something...
