    Gamma POLYFLEX High Performance Copolymer Line

    I've been using Gamma copolymer line in the clear (no longer available from Pallatrax who only now do the green) for years and have never had a problem.. It's not springy and because of its make up quite thin for its breaking strain and abrasion resistance is fine... I use 6lb for my chub...

    Bloody typical

    Get your local Drennan stockist to get in touch with Drennan. They may have spare parts for your rod. I got a quiver carrier earlier this year for one of my Avon/Quiver tip rods. Although they are now discontinued they still carry spares for a while..

    Bite Alarms

    Morning people My nephew is on a budget and looking for some bite alarms. Question... Is there such a thing as a cheap reliable alarm on the market for all weather use?? I have Delkim and Sonik but I've even heard of Delkims playing up in rain. Mine never have though. But these are above...

    Drennan Twistlock Handle ...again !!!

    A bit of electrical tape on one or both sides of the widget should do the trick.. I have two of these poles and they have different workings altogether but the electrical tape trick works on both.. But still ask your tackle shop to get you a new widget from Drennan..

    Frozen Hemp

    I find if frozen from fresh and treated as fresh it'll last as long as any other hemp. Be sure to defrost before using it.. I know it sounds daft but I have seen more than one angler through it in the river thinking it'll sink on the spot they want bait up but it floats..

    Problem with Baitrunner Lever on Okuma Epix Pro 40

    You most likely have but. Have you tried different drag settings..I found on some that I had a few years back that if the bait runner drag was set to light they didn't engage properly.
