    FOC

    Closed face reel vs pin vs fixed spool( open face )

    If it's for general silverfish trotting have a look at the original 501 or 506. The older models are are far superior in build quality to the new ones ( I had three of the different MK II models and moved them all on ). The clutch on all of them are notoriously bad so most play fish on backwind...

    Centre pin advice please ?

    I'm gonna buck the trend a bit but if you're looking for something towards the cheaper end then have a look at the Shakepeare Eagle or if you want something with a wide spool then a GeeBee centrepin. Both have nice strong ratchets ( although most pin ratchets can be adjusted by bending the...

    Cotswold Aquarius used to make custom ones but probably would be pricey.

    First Yokshire Vintage and Modern Tackle Fair.

    On the Itchen our Whippets are taken from us at the gate and whisked off to the groomers whilst we sip Pimms from our hip flasks ! :)

    Also, if you eventually decide on Christchurch, Christchurch Angling Club offer a one week holiday membership which gives you access to more water than you'll ever cover in 7 days. Check out their website.

    If you're not specifically after Barbel then you could do worse than the Ringwood area. Just a short drive down to the Britford fishery ( Day Ticket ) for some nice mixed fishing. If you are after decent accomodation down there then PM me and I'll ping off some details.

    Fox Barbel Xtreme 13ft float rod for sale.

    I'll take it Richard, I would probably have to collect it from your son's home in Berkshire as I'm in North London. How would you like payment ? I can do either paypal or give the cash to your son when I collect it. Regards Dave

    Daiwa GS 4000 QD Conversion

    Hi Alan, I've done it and it's very straightforward, even for a self confessed imbecile like me . Can't remember where I sourced the conversion kit from but probably e-bay, where they are still available as we speak. The result was good, no issues at all.
