    Try a rolled up sock in your instep, it's a bit fiddly getting your sock on, but errindoors. should help. It made a huge difference for me regarding walking 👍

    Shimano Baitrunner 6000: XTR-RA, XT-RA, XTEA or GTE-C?

    I think I would lean towards an OC ,D or Thunnus baitrunner, in the 6000 size... or depending on your distances regarding lake work, even the 5500 medium baitrunner. But for me, up to 2lb test a 4000 would be perfect for the river. But not for distance work on lakes, so a bit of a conundrum...

    My favourite by far too is the 11ft 2lb Torrix, "weirdly wonderful ". Is probably the most honest description I've heard. Just a cracking barbel rod....

    Shimano Thunnus 6000.

    I thought, they would have introduced a CI4 plus by now Richard.. I hope you're right, but it seems that the ci4 are just not available in the UK or most of Europe anymore , in the smaller sizes liked by UK anglers . I'll hang on too my 2 spare 6000s for now , in the hope of a CI4 plus...

But I have 4 6000s coming from the land of ozz. There only 166 each plus a bribe to ship to the UK. If they don't bring out...
