Same as you Bob i never use a new spool of line without testing it, very eye opening it is sometimes ! Iron Silk tied with a Palomer knot i just never had a problem with, the issue with it seemed to be UV light which degraded it after a while although i never had this happen, the new stuff is...

Yes Lewis, thats what i was led to believe, so thats not the case then ? I've not used either so couldn't say one way or the other. I knew Carp anglers who used the original Technium and one of its downsides was it went all curly and horrible after it was put under any pressure, i take it...

Catana is still available but re branded so i'm told.

Derek, "NEW IMPROVED VERSION" quite often means simply "WE CAN"T GET THE ORIGINAL STUFF SUPPLIED ANY MORE SO WE"VE SOURCED THIS INSTEAD !" Ala GT80.

No no no no Mike, you must embrace the new Digitised, computerised technologies, be it in motor vehicles, sports or just plain day to day living, it guarantees a degree of uncertainty and aggravation that keeps you on you toes more than the steady predictable old ways,and that has to be a good...

Its on the bucket list Graham ! Good angler would keep up with one i guess, Mitchell or no Mitchell :D

I'd love to see footage of someone backwinding on one of those things :) Tigers my Rrrse :D

They vary between Bronze and a kind of Olive colour Damian, polarising effect changes a little, bit less contrasty in low light but thats to be expected, and fish spotting is easily possible long after a pair of plain bronze lenses has blacked out. Fortis are bringing out their own vari tints...

Gibbo throwing up and the late Ian Gillespie explaining the two stages of sea sickness :) Terry Eustace was very funny in it as well, good programme.

Poor old Robbo, makes fishing look interesting to the masses ( lets face it it not a good telly subject !) and all he gets is grief for it !!!!

Thats a lot of tosh that is ! Never seen Robson stooping to the backwind yet :)

I'd get one of my old Tri cast 3-7s out of the loft and stick a 4000 Suveran on it, that would cover all at a pinch bar the Piking and heavy Carp fishing

Happy and healthy New year to all, and may your clutches be forever slipping :)

Correct :D Don't want to be pedantic but aren't Tigers a little sluggish in water ?

OOh, good question :)

With the greatest of respect Neil the bit of river i'm fishing is a lot smaller than the Teme and the fish are a LOT bigger ! Not much room for mistakes there !

Dealing with snags is fairly simple, you stick your finger on the spool to stop it going round !

Thanks for that Bob, is there not a satin finish epoxy then ? thinking on a re-build.

Doing the Shimmy in drag ? And i don't want to know what a Puller-bung might be :eek:
