    Interesting Vid from Mark Tunley

    He'd have been better using a casting rod and a through actioned rod of the same test curve. That test is totally at odds imo...

    Daiwa SS whisker Tournament reels.

    I have paired my FS 15 up with SS2600. Really balances it out well. I like the bigger spool, carbon drag and winding power better than than a 4000D that I used. Only had half a dozen barbel so far and they are staying on the rods.

    Daiwa whisker 25 qd or Daiwa castizm br 25 a

    I have had both these reels, they are great reels 100%. However if I was spending that type of money, then I'd have the Thunnus 6000/8000. Absolutely bomb proof.

    Normark float rods

    I had a 13.12 off the tidal and a few smaller ones last week. I ga e them a fair bit of stick. The FS 15s certainly bend a bit. Would love to get a photo of them in action, landing a double.

    New reel recommendations

    You can't fault anything in this range, from the Ds, OCs and Thunnus.

    New reel recommendations

    Sure its just the spool capacity that's different Ray, between to the 6 and 8000, the body is identical. We will soon find out that's for 👍. If correct 6000 will be fine..most places you only need 60yds on max.
