    Calling all users of Ray Walton Rolling Pin Reel!!

    Funny you asked, I use Ray Walton for float pike fishing with 2lb 6ft scope rod, because I can’t wallies cast well with a rod that short. Worked well for me last season. The casting position is very secure, I think it kind of locked in that position. Although I never tried to leave the reel...

    Matching a reel to 11ft 2lb Torrix

    I used 850, 1000 and 4000d on my 11ft 1.75lb torrix, the 4000d is perfect match. Since 2lb and 1.75lb torrix only differs in tip section, I think you will find 4000d matches it well.

    Matching a reel to 11ft 2lb Torrix

    I have both 850 and 1000, and I prefer 850 on my 11ft rod. The 1000 doesn’t feel bad, but 850 just feel right on it. But looking at current price of these reels, I’d probably go for a shimano 4000, no matter it is d or thunnus.

    Browning sphere is the one I would go for.

    Wanted 15ft float road

    When in fast water, you may require 8 or 10g lead, and the rods needs to be strong enough to against the flow as well. Same why we use high tc rods in flood conditions.

    Wanted narrow drum Centrepin..

    BTW, Alan, I am sure you have noticed, that aerial match is RHW, the price would be over 4 figures if it is LHW in that condition.

    Drennan relaunches Specialist Triangle Landing Nets

    Oh, yeah, they do a lot of spare meshes. I thought you mean you can choose the mesh when you buy the nets. You can build your own nets with all the components they sell.

    I don’t think you can choose the mesh?

    Drennan relaunches Specialist Triangle Landing Nets

    How do you find the original one? What’s the spreader material? I may get the 28 inch one for chub.

    Drennan relaunches Specialist Triangle Landing Nets

    Me too actually, really like my darent valley nets. The strap on the bottom is a really nice touch.

    Drennan relaunches Specialist Triangle Landing Nets

    I remember these nets are very good, finally drennan decided to relaunches them. Looking at the images, it seems to me that the new one is a lot narrower than the old model? https://www.drennantackle.com/products/nets-and-handles/landing-nets/specialist-triangle-landing-nets-28-32-36/

    Korum Trilogy or Daiwa Powermesh 2.25 rods?

    Exactly, my point is it is a cheap rod, it costs more than other Korum rods because it has 3 top sections.

    Korum Trilogy or Daiwa Powermesh 2.25 rods?

    If trilogy has only one top section, the price of it would be around 50-60 I believe.
  19. Huanzhou Zhu

    Why Korum, why?

    Yeah, thus is the one I got. I have the 3 rods as well but way too bulky for cycling

    Why Korum, why?

    What’s wrong with the pellet band?
