the cost of collecting these rods is going up each week with the rising cost of fuel ? still waiting for you to phone me to arrange collection Wayne ??
Spot on I lost my early one and had to buy a new one and then found exactly what you described
I had to ask a pal to help me unlock it after twisting it to tight ..............since then as you say just a very slight twist and it locks perfectly I love it
I own both the Drennan Twistlock and the Gardner and much prefer using the Drennan as its lighter
ok people knock it but Im GUESSING ? if they beefed up the locking mechanism for ham fisted people it would make it heavier and that would spoil it for me
yes sorry
your right and of course most people would also use a leader with braid its just knowing from personal experience just how Lethal thin braid can be 😥
on the subject of Braid Power pro original actually casts further than the Slick V2 that shocks a lot of people !!

so I am now leaning to this Drennan you just bought can you tell me is it just a normal easy to erect and close push...
Hi Chris
thanks for the kind offer but I have decided to give up on the idea at my age wrong side of 75 I could spend out and then within a year my eyes change with the permanent chemo I am on for the remainder of my life
so think I may get some new rods instead to celebrate :cool:
Well going to eat my words as today I just SOLD my beloved Fox specialist brolly !!

The Korum...
