Drennan Twistlock Handle ...again !!!

Neil Kirk said:
What a lot of great advice!

I will request a new locking bush from Drennan and give it all a good clean - I may well give Tom's advice a go and apply of a couple of coats of nail varnish on the existing bush while I'm waiting for the new bush.

It may be worth it to ask for locking bush in your local tackle shop
You can get them in mine for £5
 
I have two of these and find that most of the problems come l,e locking up comes from over tightening and as time goes on the taper locking mechanism wears and the top of the thread allows it to jam tight on the upper pole, I found the solution was to trim about an eight of an inch off the top of the widget so to allow the widget to travel further up the thread so it opens a little wider and not allowing it to jam on the upper section , when cleaning tie a small weight on a peice of string with a small piece of rag on the other end and pull through the bottom section to clean , take off the widget and add a very small drop of three in one on the metal thread just big enough so as not to leak onto the outer mechanism reassemble and away you go, it's important to clean on a regular basis but I stress to not over tighten when setting up only a slight twist is needed
