Hi a family friend bought these 2 from eBay then had them sent directly from oz.
I've got 2 more arriving imminently.
But posted on from a colleague at the tackle shop.
I'm expecting import duty on these tho
Have you tried the seaguar grand max, better abrasion resistance and thinner for its breaking strain.
I used soft plus for years for match barbel fishing, but then tried the grand max and found it even better..
Hi , I received my 4 Shimano Thunnus CI4 6000 reels today from down under, and an added bonus was no import duty!
Still struggling to upload pics.
I thought I'd show them off with the gomexus power knobs.
I'll try again 😀
If it's your main target this season, too catch a chub or barbel on this rod, I would give it a go Gavin.
You won't find out what it's like untill you try 👍
Try a rolled up sock in your instep, it's a bit fiddly getting your sock on, but errindoors. should help.
It made a huge difference for me regarding walking 👍
I think I would lean towards an OC ,D or Thunnus baitrunner, in the 6000 size... or depending on your distances regarding lake work, even the 5500 medium baitrunner.
But for me, up to 2lb test a 4000 would be perfect for the river. But not for distance work on lakes, so a bit of a conundrum...
