    Why Korum, why?

    We used to do the same snug tight up with the anti tangle sleeve also pulled into the bottom of the tulip🤣, until we underwent the wrath of Ade🙄 who also invented the original version. He said that you need to leave the thin metal swivol inner exposed as not to impair the anti tangle properties...

    Why Korum, why?

    I've used them ever since ade kiddel in vented and showed me how to use them, u must ensure the anti tangle sleeve, isn't pushed tight over the qc swivol, leave a good gap to let the swivol work.

    New tip ring

    Nice one, in my experience, a cup of boiled water is the best option, dip it in for ten seconds and it should pull away easily.

    New tip ring

    Hot melt everyrtime, you may need to replace again one day, and I think araldite would be a permanent fix, I don't think it unstick with heat. I may be wrong.

    W. R. Speedia Wide drum deluxe.

    Hi, I have a Speedia wide drum deluxe, all stripped, polished and serviced, this is the best spinning pin I've ever held, no wobble, and very free running. It shows signs of staining in the aluminum, but has polished well and is only cosmetic. 115 posted.

    Braid and rings

    Hi Chris, I think they are s-lite guides which are braid safe. As are most reputable guides of today with a ceramic inner, but too be absolutely sure minimas all the way.

    Unhooking mats.....

    I can't advocate the use of a mat when river or lake fishing moor, or in my case I use a "fox cradle", other cradles available, the korum barbel cradle being an excellent product. They are specifically designed for fish safety, and mine always has a bucket of water or if I'm roving a bait box...

    Any thoughts on rod rings for a custom 11' torrix?

    Graham, is using the high stand off minimas on his 2piece 13ft exclusive float rods. I think minimas are now the way forward. And will be more widely used by rod builders old and new.

    Any thoughts on rod rings for a custom 11' torrix?

    Yes Ralph, on my lighter 11ft torrix s and chimeras I have 1double then 6 single guides and tip. On my 12ft 2.5 torrix both butt and second are double legged then again 5 single and the tip. Even with anti frap tips the line can still catch and bend the guides, I've been using them for 2 years...

    Any thoughts on rod rings for a custom 11' torrix?

    Minimas all the way, as I've said in past posts, 30 percent lighter, braid and mono safe and stronger than most guides, all my torrix and chimeras have been built with the black shadow minimas, can't praise them enough really!
