    Toughest Line??

    I've used the Profish for 2 years in 0.28 and 0.30 which is 11lb and 13lb respectively. 13lb is my normal barbel line and I find it great, very tough. Only complaint is it can twist a bit on knots but this has never been a problem. Does not twist or coil anything like Sensor, for me it out...

    Okuma centrepin question

    here is a link to the reel to which I refer: Okuma Fishing Products | Buy Reels Are we talking a different beast? Although I gave the box and parts list to the guy I sold it to I am 100% sure it was the same bearing number as the Sheffield as I checked and it clearly states German. :confused:

    Okuma centrepin question

    Same bearings in both! Both are machined from the same aluminium and anodised. Anyone else? Only difference I can see is cosmetic. :rolleyes:

    Okuma centrepin question

    I recently sold a Aventa Pro and kept a Sheffield. Apart from a few cosmetics I could not tell the difference and I really liked the anodised colour of the Aventa. Anyone know a value added difference?

    head torch

    I bought a couple of the caps. Excellent as you say for baiting up etc. awaiting delivery of the Alpkit. Not to expensive if it's not quite what I want.

    Hinders Elips Pellets

    I spoke to Jon a couple of weeks ago he said all elliptical pellets were going to be a thing of the past. I had been looking to buy some Sonobaits and some bankside. Never had any luck with the grubbers. Ended up with a couple of others terming them 'bankside barbel Repellents', others catch on...

    head torch

    Thanks everyone for your advice. I think I will go for the Alpkit Manta as recommended by several. Seems great value and gets good reviews on some serious hiking and climbing sites so should be up to the rigours of the Avon. if I need more light there are some other choices but for the money it...

    head torch

    I've never done a lot of fishing in the dark preferring to retire to the pub after sunset but recent results have seen me on the bank for extended periods after dark. Although I have several head torches and other lights occasionally I would like more light sometimes focused for baiting up etc...
