Been subscribed from the start, still enjoying it. Thanks Martin.

Transporter 4 motion for me, super comfy to drive (I have a bad back) and can keep loads of different set ups in the back. Love it.

Only the alarms left now.

I switched to it this year and prefer it to gr60 and synchro. Use 10lb for barbel and tench fishing.

Price reduction on Torrix £160 Ono.

I have a Mark Tunley 12ft Harrison Torrix 1.75lb with Alps reel seat, dark green whippings on a green blank for sale. In good condition, £200 ono. Collection only or can deliver to Lincoln/Newark area when I next fish the Trent. Shimano Super Ultegra (AX MATCh 45SPC) 15ft float rod. This is the...

I’m getting a custom ratchet, new bearings and new handles fitted on my 5” Adcock in a couple of weeks time to produce what I hope will be my ideal trotting pin. Must admit I have been tempted by the Fox BJ pins myself.

Yes please Ady.

I also have a Daiwa theory in smaller size and it’s an excellent reel.

I recently bought a pair of Daiwa gs br 5000 reels which I absolutely love (going to buy another pair). They do a non baitrunner version as well, front drag, smooth as silk.

Okumas are very sound or if you prefer something with a bit of history an Adcock Stanton (with ratchet). I have had lots of trotting centrepins and the one thing I’d avoid is anything less than 4.5 inch as it takes too long to retrieve. I also prefer bearings pins because I can retrieve faster...

Mine is front drag which I prefer and I think is lighter but I may be wrong on that.

I have a Stradic 3000 for waggler fishing for barbel and it is the best reel I have. Has carbon drag washers, is super smooth and light. I also have a Daiwa Fuego and imo the Stradic is far superior.

Thanks for everyone’s input, I’ve decided to get a ratchet put on it and change the handles. Sacrilege to some, but I do like to pimp my ride 😜.

I’ve managed to loosen the screw out of the centre drag knob but it doesn’t seem to make any difference to how the reel spins whether I have both screwed up tight or any other configuration. I’m not really sure how the mechanism works tbh. Do those of you who have the same reel (no ratchet) use...

I’ve just bought a 5 inch Stanton for trotting which doesn’t have a ratchet but does have a drag knob on the front (or at least I assume that’s what it is). Problem is tightening the drag knob has no effect on the free running of the spool. Is there an easy fix to this or am I going to have to...

It doesn’t even make my top 1000 things wrong in angling today and yet some people would be quite happy for him to lose his livelihood over it. Decisions are much easier to make when you don’t have budgets to justify and bosses to please.

Crickets not cricket anymore either and probably never was 😁. If you watch angling content, which I do, then I’m afraid you have to accept some strokes are pulled occasionally. People can extrapolate that out to it being standard practice based on one clip if they want, but I don’t know enough...

If the footage is genuine, is it really that shocking ? If you have paid a cameraman to do a feature, the fishing is hard and you muck up the action shot, what is likely to happen ? Rest the fish, rehook it and take two. Granted it’s not ideal, but also it’s not like it’s a regular occurrence...

Exceptional stuff Haydn. I’ve tried a few float makers but have now settled in Mike Cootes aka purplepeanut007 on fb, a true craftsman.
