Drennan Series 7 12ft Avon/Quiver 1.5lb tc.

When using boilies I've been quite happy with the Drennan Boilie hooks that come in the chrome finish packet,not the Continental ones.Bit expensive but have never let me down using sizes 8 and 10 mainly.

Totally shocked.My thoughts are with his family and friends. RIP Keith.

As I need,at times, to cast heavy feeders medium distances,on mainly large rivers,I'm more than happy with my 6000D's.Two seasons old now and glad I got them.Only negative is the price of spare spools,should you need any.The 4000 size would be ideal for smaller venues.

Derek, Argos also have it at £24.99.Thanks for the heads up as need to retire my heavily dented old flask. Pete.

Personally I'd always choose a screw down fitting in order to negate any thread/locknut in the vicinity of the reelfoot where the rod is gripped, so that effectively there's just cork either side of the reelfoot and therefore more comfortable to use in my opinion. Pete.

Dave, All the Dinsmore storm poles and bank sticks of varying lengths that I have, all came with the hole/tommy bar feature, which is very useful especially when gravel and stones are encountered. I'm sure they're still British made.......which is nice.

I'd say Dinsmore all day long. Really aggressive thread that screws into the ground really firmly. Comes in various lengths and diameters.

Agree, the RH dial scales IMO have been very poor, however have been quite happy with their digiitals, wheras again IMO Fox digitals are only useful as a doorstop,

Unfortunately Avon don't offer a recon/spares service anymore.Just spoke to them to make sure.

..and on fire.:D

Stephen, Nice and cheap, but the lead is a bit on the short side (80cms). The TM03 looks very similar to one I bought in Maplins a few years ago. It's stood the test of time ok, my only gripe would be the lack of an on/off switch, so you have to either remove or isolate the battery with a piece...

if I remember correctly, the term used for the square steering wheel on the All-Aggro was "quartic". No wonder our car industry went down the Swanee:D

My preference is for a front clutch, but when the 5000 XTEA was a current reel it ticked most of the boxes. The Penn Slammer was a great alternative whilst it was available, it's only down side being the inability to backwind.

Good choice with the XTEA John, best rear drag Shimano's made IMHO.I think it's a matter of horses for courses, as all the reel sizes mentioned are perfect for the right river and situation. My 6000D's are great on the Thames/Wye where their cranking power with big feeders comes into their own...

6000D EU, has a T-bar shaped handle if you don't like the D's egg shape. Pete.

Have walked miles and miles in my Tay Sports(now Arctic Sports) over the years I've had them.When they give up the ghost I'll get some Arctic Sports to replace them.More than happy with them.

Well done on your first double Richard. You'll no doubt remember that date as if it's a birthday. I bet you were buzzing. Regards Pete

Nice Wye double there Paul. Good photo too. Top angling.

Cut a cube of meat in half and sandwich the hair between the two halves using superglue. Job done.
