Neither I would go with a daiwa emcast br. Had a 4000d and the weak bail snapped. Had a 2600 and don't get me wrong it's a work horse of a reel, however is also a 20 year old design and to me felt dated, even with £100 of work to it from Gary at custom reels. Have sold both and now use mainly...

Definitely loved that bait nearly as much as assassin 8 (which was a very underrated bait in my opinion).

Found an old unused bottle of the original active 8 activator liquid in my garage last winter. Was much thicker and richer smelling than the current one. Went to make some bait with it in the close season and the mice have eaten through it not happy!

Looking for some recommendations for a good day ticket stretch that's up to 60-90 mins away from Reading. Fancy a change from the kennet as you see more otters at the moment than barbel there. Anyone got any suggestions? Thanks

Not annoyed that I brought a ta rucksack at full price only last month at all (and a tackle pouch which doesn't fit like it says)!!!!!

Been checked once I think in 27 years of fishing, however the first 3 years shouldn't count as I was under 12.

To a house in Caversham to hopefully finish off turning a wardrobe into a toilet :(

Best time for catching seems to be whenever I'm not fishing

Cars failed the mot and not worth repairing so best thin the fishing gear to go towards a new as I seem to have collected loads which in my head I will use but in reality probably not. I have the following for sale. There probably will be more but this is off the top of my head Rods are meet...

To make the most of being self employed and have some days off in the week to go fishing (will still tell the missus I'm going to work though. Sssh don't tell her).

Always go on two rules with rod test curves. Times test curve between 4 and 7 to get recommended line rating and add 1/2oz to tc for max casting. However when lobbing you can get away with much heavier weight. However no manufacturer will recommend it for possible come back should they break.

Thanks for the information chaps and I think I'll give it a go for a season at least and see what it's like. Does look a lovely stretch of river and is closer than wasing which I was also looking at.
