Anyone know of any shops local to me or around Aldershot way that sell these?

Im in South West London/Surrey but I need to go to Aldershot tomorrow/sat.

Cheers,
Tony
 
Tony, the best tackle dealer in Aldershot IMO is Hampshire Tackle, Ash road (A323), Aldershot.
Its also a Okuma dealer (or was, looking at Darryl post).
 
Nice reel the okuma...not too keen on the line lay though as its filled to the lip at the bottom of the spool but doesnt go right to the edge at the top of it....still seemed to cast ok and for £40 its a bargain.

Still went to Aldershot...forgot how delightful it is if you like tattooed faced chavs hanging around the book makers!

I found exactly the same problem with both my Okuma's...the ruddy line was starting to overflow off of the back of the spools, while it was still 2/3mm short of the front lip :eek:

If I recall (from many moons back :D) this problem can be cured by adding or subtracting washers....trouble is, I never found out where to add or take out these washers :D:D

Obviously it has to be on the spindle somewhere, and at a level where it would affect the positioning of the spool...but I still don't know where :rolleyes:

Cheers, Dave
