My god talk about pissing on people's chips .. how's about we get on with it without you pouring scorn over ever post on here . Which I've noticed you seem to to do!!!
I was a religious hinders elips user but they changed so much and the recipe / quality also . The hard dumbbells would split with even a fine bait needle . I knocked them on the head and went over to CCMOORE Pacific tuna range . It caught me plenty ...I'm now on mainline big river barbel range.
Putting things back in to perspective .. we are talking about a £35 pin 😎... I urge any one to find a tackle dealer that sells them and just go and handle one.
I just wanted to share my observations after Mark Evan's have his . Thank you Mark I'm more than happy with it 🎣🌞
I was just putting oil on the tip of the pin . It's a pin oil I got from Garry mills years ago. It's a very thin clear pin oil ? My Trudeau has it on and spins perfectly .
Mark I've bought some better bearings NMB 7x14 x5mm double sealed . I'll clean it all over first then change them and degrees . Then add mill tackle oil .
It spins well straight from the box .
Thanks for the heads up I new I could trust your opinion with your background in the industry...
Just had one delivered as I took Mark Evan's opinion on board and his experience .
Straight out the box it's light , solid no wobble and spins well .
I've bought a set of better bearings for it and will clean, degrease and apply Mill tackle pin oil ... £35 and £9 for better bearings !!
I had the original Acolyte at 15ft and Feeder rod . I sold them as in my opinion they were far too soft . I bought them specifically for chub fishing and found that when a chub typically went for the margins and under my feet they were spineless ..
