    I had similar thoughts Alex and ordered a Shimano Super 4000 gt. Hope to try it later in the week if it is not to hot for the fish.

    Reel to match Drennan Duo 1.5

    Thanks lads. Had x Aero 4000s did not like them and gave them away. Looks like 4000 size reels fit the bill so will have a look around.

    Backpack style tackle bags.

    Thinking anglers rucksack. Very light and comfy, 3 outside pockets and plenty inside. Also has bankstick holders on the front. Not massive so you cant overfill it. Best I have had for the river angler.

    line for new centre pin
