    Daiwa QD Reels

    Ah OK thanks Rich , I worded it wrongly , your description is how I thought it worked , sounds like it may take some practice to get used to it .

    Daiwa QD Reels

    Quick question on the QDs When locked up after hooking a fish , how is the drag set for playing a fish ? Or do you just back it off slightly.

    Drennan Specialist landing net handle EUREKA moment

    I have both , need arms like Popeye to use the Gardner one ! The Drennan is much easier to use and I’ve never had a problem with mine apart from losing the end cap ( user error)

    Mighty Trent Day Ticket. Fiskerton v Stoke Bardolph Road

    From my research the NPS Fiskerton stretch is a decent walk and a locked gate to navigate , only NPS members have a key . The Barnsley stretch is much easier to get to some decent pegs , Post office is usually open around 06.20 Can’t help on the Stoke bit .

    Daiwa br25a vshimano 6000 oc

    I have a pair of Castizms and I’m looking for a pair of 6000 OCs to be honest , the Daiwas seem to have a sticking clutch and BR , both have done it since new , sticks initially then lets go , doesn’t seem right to me and a bit disconcerting.

    Interest in baits

    Brocacel doesn't work with fish meals , only carbohydrates, used in feed for beef production, more yield from feed that as brocacel added Found it very interesting, even mentions John Baker under his breath

    Combi rig - This season’s rig nonsense/improvement

    That’s not how I tie mine , it’s 8/9 up and 4 down and back through the loop the same way you went through it , that version is just 10 down , no idea if that works , never used it . I’ve found it totally reliable and when pulling for a break the mainline/ hook link usually goes or the hook...
