Anyone using silstar match team?

I really am talking cheap James;)

I think I'm going to try one, checked out ceramic bearings @ about £6.00 each if ceramic is the way to go?? I'm sure it'll be OK for rolling meat and more industrial tasks on the bank.

I've looked at a couple of the Aventa.

Thanks chaps.

I have some old neoprenes and some newer ali express/temu?? chest waders that I might cut down. I'm getting some new chest waders, probably Vass and wanted the thigh on a budget, cutting the old one's just popped into my head!

My fishing is going back to basics this season, done my share of static, behind the rods bait and wait. I already have a Terry Daniels pin which is a nice reel, I'm looking to get one or two more but can't quite justify the money for top end reels. Are the cheap reels any good/usable?

Rob Linwood is selling a pair here I'm tempted for my avons but disposable funds are earmaked for other things for the forseeable.

Not socks but a mate recommended these to me. Not tried them yet but worth a punt for a few quid.

I use These and leave the hooks in their original plastic sleeves. I have several patterns in there in their own plastic seal bags. Another holds all my hooklink materials and they fit in a small pocket in my rucksack. This is in my roach, perch, tench etc rucksack. I have a different system...

I reckon I'd be your best customer if I lived local😂

I've never used fluro as a mainline but have seen some tips. When you first use it, tie it to something and walk it out and stretch it, then wind it back on through a damp rag under slight tension. When you develop twist, tie a disposable weight on with PVA string/tape and whack it as far as you...

I go by handle turn as described above. Most of my larger reels retrieve about 90-100cm per turn. If I want 200m on a carp reel that holds 350m of a certain dia' I back up with cheap sea line of a similar dia' with 150 turns, I know because I started with an empty spool that less goes on at...

I have a pair of the 10ft 3lb and for the money they're very good. Edit; I actually bought a third!
