That's front AND rear drag if I'm not mistaken Richard .

Them wibbley wobbly Daiwa reels are closer to this I’d say if we are going to compare to vehicles

they will go well with those torrix rods you have

a rolls royce still drives better than a mini cooper

If that’s the case why do people hire someone to drive it for them, not too many people paying a chauffeur to drive their Lambo. I’d take a Mini (proper one) over a RR any day, that said I’d take a little front engine rear drive car from that era over the mini.

Stick some guides on that and I’ll buy it. Could do with a 3rd

I managed to get hold of an 'as new' Nash 'Elite' last year Hatter, and am a great fan. I mostly use it for roving with a single rod, especially in high water conditions on the Middle Severn (or Teme). After using Nash's Tri-Tips for 15+ years, and having had over a thousand barbel on them, it was a seamless step change. Weird why they stopped making 'The Specialist' barbel range, and god knows what blank manufacture was involved.

I picked up a Tri tip earlier in the year , not used it yet , but can’t wait

I've got five, had first in 2002/3 ...I love them and used them almost exclusively for my barbelling until I got a pair of F/S Hi S SU's, then a pair of F/S Hi S Big Waters for heavier work. Still using my 'Elite' though for 'mud-crawling'
