    Reels for basias

    If buying from Fishernator (via Amazon) look at the web price also…they tend to add a premium for Amazon https://www.fishernator.com/shimano-thunnus-ci4-4000-saltwater-freespool-reel-tu4000ci4.html You still pay shipping though on both sites

    Harrison Torrix custom vs factory made

    Tench 2024

    A smidgeon under 8Ib today…happy with that for a male fish. Unfortunately not on the float but on the method feeder, really struggling so far on the float, think there not coming into the margins just yet maybe?

    Lovely. I wish I had the practical skills in making a rod, something I would like to learn in future

    Korum waist trotting tray, Is this a good or dumb idea?

    Way too cumbersome IMO, bait pouch with separate pots does the job …or even a good old fashioned bait apron
