    Drennan Twistlock Handle ...again !!!

    A bit of electrical tape on one or both sides of the widget should do the trick.. I have two of these poles and they have different workings altogether but the electrical tape trick works on both.. But still ask your tackle shop to get you a new widget from Drennan..

    Frozen Hemp

    I find if frozen from fresh and treated as fresh it'll last as long as any other hemp. Be sure to defrost before using it.. I know it sounds daft but I have seen more than one angler through it in the river thinking it'll sink on the spot they want bait up but it floats..

    Abu 507 mkll drag not very lose

    All of the above is correct plus line can bed in on the spool which can also cause the problem. Only put on enough line for what you need plus a little. Don't fill the spool like you would a normal reel.. I've got one of my 506mk2 on my desk as I'm typing so just gave it a go and it seems...

    Problem with Baitrunner Lever on Okuma Epix Pro 40

    You most likely have but. Have you tried different drag settings..I found on some that I had a few years back that if the bait runner drag was set to light they didn't engage properly.

    Help

    I had a Chub Hi-Lite before this chair and that lasted me well over 10 years but sadly another discontinued top notch item of fishing gear.. It seems that when something works for some reason they stop making them. I know Chub don't exist now a days.. Shame

    Help

    I've just heard back from Fox.. The item is discontinued so it looks like a new chair .. Such a shame because these chairs are not cheap and only been used about ten times.

    Help

    Can anyone suggest where I might be able to get a replacement front leg assembly for my fox duralite chair.. I've had the chair about 3 years but its seen very little use so I would like to repair instead of replace.. I have tried KP Spares and unfortunately they can not help,

    Broken chair

    Thank you all for your help. I have managed to order one from Angling Direct and slightly less than £9 plus P&P so £15+ for the front leg assembly . It'll take 4 to 6 weeks for delivery because it's coming from Belgium I think. But happy to wait and glad I'll get my chair sorted..
