Just a post to say that based on my experience so far, I would whole heartedly not recommend these.
About 10 days worth of fishing and the finish is disappearing to show the metal beneath. It looks like the line will just be running across a bit of stainless steel with a few more trips.

Please could someone recommend an echosounder for using on a proper boat?
Budget of about £200 and just want it to show depths, weed, snags etc. It would be good if could show streamer weed as well as thicker stuff.
If it was possible to download data off it and produce maps...

I had blagged 3 tench the other day (and night) all about 6lbs, I have to admit it was whilst carp fishing but sometimes there's not much difference between the two. If I was specifically after the tench I probably would have just shaved a bit off the tutti wafter and used a...
Hi everyone
Whats the deal with the bass like mouth grip on perch?
Why are people doing it and is it bad for the fish?
Personally I think it looks horrible and feel somewhat triggered each time I see a photo of it. Although I am aware that my reaction is not based on any substance.
1 x Shimano OC 4000 for sale
The reel is in good condition but when line is pulled forcefully the clutch is slipping. By slipping I mean the drag adjustment knob is moving with a jolt in the tightening direction, leaving the clutch in a firmer position than where it was originally set.

My dad is after a lightweight 12ft rod for catching silvers, small crucians and tench up to 3 to 4lb.
Fishing off the rod tip for the best part.
Would the acolyte ultra or plus be more suitable?
Thank you

I fancy having a go for a perch on some light lure gear, either dropshotting or small jigs.
I've got a rod and reel I bought years ago that didn't get used much. When I bought the mainline for some weird reason I ended up with yellow braid.
Whilst I did catch a few fish I'm not...

I purchased a set of these reels earlier in the year and on the whole am dead impressed.
The only thing I don't like about them is the range on the clutch feels like it's QD, the difference in resistance for each click is substantial and I feel its missing some middle ground.
