    The Plowman 507 - the best closed face reel ever produced?

    Some nice Roach getting a mention here... I too really hate to see such an aggressive fish eating machine on our inland waters. But what i hate more! is the fact we now have no fish left for either of us around our coastline , which is where these horrid things would otherwise be. Aren't...
