Thought I'd start a new thread about this topic, I'm so excited 😂 Will report back when I have some useful feedback, so far I've charged the batteries and tried one on :p

The Sun... 🤣 (Although to be fair to them you see many similar stories on Facebook these days 😅)

👍 my Tunley built rods I bought off a mate were a steal this year 😂

Paul, absolutely important for me to point out that I am in no way mocking the price tag. If the gear makes your fishing enjoyable then it is worth absolutely every penny 👍

This is what I'll find out. If they're crap they'll be going back, if they're good they're an extra Xmas present from me mam 😅👍

For £200 I'd want them to do the fishing for me as well 😂

Right I have talked myself into these electric socks today, £36 with a 'discount voucher' 😂 If I don't try them then I'll never know. Should have at the weekend, I will report back...

Paul, £199 for the bluetooth version?? 😳 I pray to god they work for you!

Absolutely Joe, the extra insoles, while good in theory, made it a tight fit. No room for air to trap and be warmed by body heat and also restricting movement. If it warms to near double digits I'll probably pop the insoles back in and wear one pair of socks, but if I'm wearing the thick ones on...

Out today for 5 hours stillwater piking. Was a very cold day but here's what I did. I took out the extra insoles from my snowline wellies (these are ones I put in btw) to give my toes more wriggle room. To be honest it helped. I could feel a bit of space around my feet ends which allowed air to...

Don't think i'll ever be able to get away with only one pair of socks, had my Grubs Snowline on on Friday and it was a heady 3 degrees C air temp. Normal socks and the heat holder ultimates on, plus my boots have extra lining of felt & fleece insoles. I would be lying if I said I said I didn't...

I've had a pair of the Korum rods that cost me £50 each, I've now got some considerably more expensive rods. Do, or have the more expensive rods done anything the Korum rods could not do? No, absolutely not. Do I enjoy using my expensive rods more than I did the Korum ones? Yes. Can you tell a...

Korum barbel rod, 12' 2lb TC. Will do it all IMO and well under budget, but great rods 👍

Was tempted myself and I don't even need one 😂

He doesn't need a best price Adam, already sold. You'll do well picking one up much cheaper never mind as new 😂

Not the river reports though, which I agree with :)

Adam, back to your question, I have the Shim 6000D's paired to some Free Spirit Hi-S 2lb barbel rods and they are a nice match, I also have a pair of the 8000D on some 2.5lb Dark Carbons. I keep meaning to put the 6000/8000 side by side as the 8000 certainly feels more chunky, but both sizes I...

Richard this is the same comment as I voiced about these reels. You said you never saw it as a problem, but the baitrunner tension adjustment of these reels is not linear. Most of the adjustment is in the very slack to slack range, when you need it tight because of floodwater conditions, you...

I had the quick release net thing. Actually worked well for me until I had a 13lb barbel that needed lifting up the bank a bit, obviously wasn't going to drag the fish up the bank and couldn't get a direct pull from straight above so strain was put on it as I lifted it out. Nearly fell to pieces...

A good active forum is an absolute asset, and I like this one and the fact you have to spend a few pennies to gain access. Will deter a lot of the dross if I'm allowed to say that! The problem with Facebook groups is often that anyone can join, there's no structure to the debates, and most...
