4000d or OC are superb reels no doubt, and if choosing between the two stick with the cheaper OC as the difference in performance is negligible. But if you can spare the extra £ have a look at Thunnus 4000, more cranking power and the bearing assisted clutches are sublime…will probably cost you...

Lovely reels in immaculate condition….been wanting a decent pair for a while 👌

After a couple of spare spools to go with the lovely reels I got from Rob which I’ll use for tench/carp…bit of a long shot but anybody have any they wish to sell…or know where to get some? Thanks

Just wondering what your thoughts and methods of prebaiting are? There’s a few spots on my local Ouse I know are frequented by a very small number of good sized Barbel, in previous years I would start baiting up 2-3 weeks before opening night with boilies and paste from my usual JBaker mix…and...

Hi Neil, I rarely use fluorocarbon but happy to make you up a couple of the basic rigs I use on the Severn. Can’t say they will be anything special , and I’m no rig expert (or any expert tbf 😂) and won’t be anything that you won’t find info on online etc, but they serve me well and I fully trust...

If you don’t find any 2nd hand ones John have a look here https://www.fishernator.com/shimano-thunnus-ci4-saltwater-freespool-reel.html Tends to be best new price I’ve found

Hi Rob, just sent you pm

Good luck with that Jim….the 1.75Ib have been out of production for some time and are very sought after…if you see any in stock give me a nod please

In terms of modern products I would put sonar technology adapted for the angling market (depth/fish finders) up there as a significant ‘game changer’ ….controversial maybe (so we’re swimfeeders once) but an innovation that has probably been responsible for many big fish captures, especially...

Underrated and hard to find rods in the lower test curves👍

I’ve sent s few reels Rich’s way for servicing, all older model shimano’s, and they’ve all come back feeling full of life again. Would fully recommend 👍

Have a look at your house contents cover first. I don’t have any stand alone insurance for tackle, mine is just covered with house contents insurance - I it covers sport equipment for breakages, fire damage and theft when in use or stored in an outhouse. Up to a total value of 10k and 1k per...

I’ll take these Rob please if not already gone….shall I pay via PayPal as before??

I get virtually zero tangles using these the way I do….I think a lot of tangles are from either not feathering the cast or not reeling in at a constant steady rate.

Yep, GTi bends through the blank lovely but a lot more stopping power lower down than the Avon - this is comparing my peregrine gti with the 4 piece Avon ….not sure if the 2 piece Avon will have a different action but suspect not

When I was younger I used the think the death penalty and punishments like cutting your hands off for stealing (Saudi Arabia) and other such harsh penalties were abhorrent ….these days I seem to be wishing it on more and more of societies worst offenders!

They have made some real quality gear and some real shockers (like most companies IMO) …the gear I really rate are (in no particular order): 1.Original Supalite chair, still going strong after much abuse and just right for roving sessions 2. Original ruckbags 3. Folding quivers 4. Original...

I can take some pics later in week but they are basically these https://www.total-fishing-tackle.com/century-armalite-mk3-supergrade-cork-rod Brand new unused vondition. Not really sure on price, will have a think

I love Armalites and use 2.25 and 2.75 for my carping. Personally I think the 2.5Ib might be a bit over gunned maybe!? If anyone is interested I have a pair of mk3 1.75 Armalites never used, brand new in bags - bought them from a member on here last year to use as bream/tench rods but doubt I...
