    Lucky anglers?

    Afraid i have to disagree a little, I'm one of the laziest anglers you could ever meet, but i think its one of the main reasons i've been lucky enough to get attatched to a few good fish.... Sometimes you just know your in the rite place,you feel confident, but maybe the fish arn't there...

    Mono/ Braid Actual B/S

    Gotta go with Berkley Whiplash, diameter in 30lb is 0.10, been on it longer than i can remember now and i dont change it very often either, i'll probably get slated for this but i have kept it on a spool for a good 4 or 5 years with no ill effects....then you can just rewind it onto another...

    Berkley Whiplash

    Peter, i accept its not for everyone, and we are all entitled to our own opinion, but my opinion would be the total opposite to yours, i've used it for about 10 years now and i have to say its the best line/braid ive used by far.. with no exceptions:D. Ive never had the cause to try its actual...

    Centerpin help.

    Andy , its a isotope built onto and around the end of the rod , built by Bob Gill I have them on my i-powers , they work for me. you can 'charge them up' by uv light and they will be very bright, or you can just leave them as they are (which is my preference) and there is still plenty to look...

    Berkley Whiplash

    Been using the whiplash for years now, but the last couple sessions(cause i ran out on one rod) ive been using mono on one rod and braid on the other..... Three bites on mono=missed every one (felt like striking with elastic line) One bite on braid= one barbel in the net:D So from this i can...

    Need some new scales - recommendations?

    Nice spot Graham, they wont hang around long, tempted to buy them myself as a spare. Don't come across new set very often these days EDIT... just re checked and they're sold already, a good buy for someone !

    Casting with Braid

    Never had a problem while casting, unless as said the clutch is too loose, although i have had my finger sliced open on a viscious take while touch legering.... that did hurt:eek:

    Need some new scales - recommendations?

    Ive always used Avons and find them very reliable, Had my first set for over 20 years but eventually i couldnt see the dial through the screen any more, so i removed it, still worked fine!:)... managed to get a new set from the manufacturer a few years ago and they are very accurate, had them...
