Thanks Brian that backs up my thoughts re reel size As I mentioned previously since I moved to the area in 2003 all my trotting on the Hampshire Avon,The Dorset Stour and The Test has been with centrepin reels and in fact all my barbel legering on the Avon is with pins. But recently I have come...

Hi Graham so sorry to hear about your back and difficulty when trotting Hopefully your other methods of fishing wont be too badly effected. Mike

Thanks for that Simon As the reel is for float fishing I will stick with a 3000 size anyway and go for the latest TDR 3012

Hi Alan I will take that if ok? Same payment details as previously?

Funny you should say that Derek but over the years on BFW I consider the majority of members may now come from the Midlands or the North and the number of members from the southern counties appear to be decreasing. I wonder if that has anything to with the decline of the barbel population on...

Hi Phil Interested in your comment re the QD. I some earlier posts I mentioned possibly getting a new Daiwa 24 3012 QD for trotting for chub roach etc Are you happy with the reel apart from the QD for Barbel?

Thanks again for all the input. Graham and Nick for your info I already have a pair of the Stradic 3000S reels which I use for float fishing on lakes paired with my trusty old Graham Phillips Tench Float rods. The Stradics have double handles and I fancy a single handle reel for constant...

Many thanks for all the advice Bit annoyed that I have had several 507s pass through my hands without ever trying them Will probably look out for a TDX or if not a TDR I guess the 3012 size would be the one to go for

I always use centrepins when trotting and absolutely love them. However I have recently started fishing a couple of stretches where I am not a good enough caster with a pin to reach the far tree line. Barbel are not the target fish chub, roach and dace are what I am aiming for. What fixed spool...
