    Centre pin advice please ?

    Very surprised no one has mentioned the more modern Marco Cortesi or TFG centrepins. More than adequate for ledgering and very reasonably priced. Steve

    Bait screws?

    Hi all, After losing yet another hair needle this week, I'm thinking of trying bait screws rather than a conventional hair. Having never used them before, I'm after opinions on pros and cons. Will be using them for boilies, most likely mounting the screw on the hook shank via a couple of hook...

    Folding landing nets

    Exactly what I was thinking 😂 Also wondered how deep the mesh is. I'm currently using a Greys spoon which has a lovely deep mesh but can be awkward to handle. Steve

    Reel experts?

    Hi all, Just wondered if there are any reel experts on here that I could ask advice. The handle on one of my bait runners appears to be very tight (binding) when winding. I backed the tightening screw off slightly which helped but then this caused play in the handle. Not keen on stripping it...
