    Reel advice

    I don't know, I thought you was looking at something smaller then a 5000 size. If you've seen the gs4000 size and are happy with it, I'm sure it won't let you down

    Reel advice

    I think Ju I know Julian Cundiff uses the GS 4000 ,so if they are good enough for him. Reckon you could get away with the 3000 aswell thou.

    Wanted Drennan twist lock 3m landing net handle

    I'm local so it didn't take that into account, that's a bit steep, not even free p&p if you spend so much either!
