Seriously though these are a great design, so simple 👌

Is Kev's corner! 🤪

Handy for not Kev's corner. 😂

Just fitted my new rod locks ready for spring - hopefully no more flying rods 😆

I've somehow managed to lose 3 butt rests and banksticks from my pike gear so just had the joy of purchasing 3 more of each. As an edit, I just realised exactly where I lost them; I was fishing at Beccles on the quay, where there is no way of pushing sticks into the tarmac path, so I put them underneath the bench I was sitting on, and at the end of the day forgot to put them back into the unhooking mat as I folded it up.

It's for washed out baits only.

Not sure the air dryer behind is a good idea... 🤣

I’ve got a cross cast handle on it at the moment, it just needed an extra washer to get it to work. It will do for now, might have to speak to Weston developments and get some hold up handles for them all…

I've gone a little bit nuts again but completed the production line 😂 Thanks to @greekskii for the tip off though. I am made up tonight. I now have all I need to start really making some boilies.

Check the old cross cast version as the spools fit the windcast as I bought some from daiwa.

Can you not get 3 handles off another Daiwa that's similar - may cost less than chasing one rare handle?

Tbh I'd be saving a search on Ebay and waiting for a single reel to come up.... might be cheaper than the handle from the States!

Not a cheap option but you could get it imported from the US: HANDLE - Platinum Parts & Services LLC

Yes mate, me too, but you can’t add it to the basket, so when I called up to place the order over the phone, he checked his stock and found he had none left 🙁

It's showing as in-stock for me? DAIWA WINDCAST Z HANDLE ASSEMBLY PART #H43-4901 - Jim's Reel Shop

Or Weston developments. or fishingspares.co.uk

Try BASS Horning, he did do services, or Tackle Box or Johnson Ross

Hi all, hoping someone here can help me, I have a Daiwa windcast Z5000 that I need a replacement handle for, but I can’t find one anywhere! Daiwa UK don’t have any as it’s discontinued and Jim’s reel shop have sold out. Where else can I try? Usual internet searches are not producing the goods. or any aftermarket places I could try?

Thank you OldBoy , I have been watching the first episode , and I'm enjoying it's quiet charm . I like the way Matt just casually mentions helpful tips , makes me think " I'll give that a go " . 😃

Been a great watch as always, Mat is a great all rounder including the fly, not many do everything let alone well. Didn't know until recently that Mick Brown is the only paid full time pike angler, amazing!

A proper work of art that book. Not your usual angling stuff. Loved it.

Thank you

Just scraping in the December report with a cheeky little 8lb mirror carp, caught it on a 12mm pink Mulbz pop up from club lake

I have watched some of this, and pretty much enjoyed it, like others i used to watch all the matt Hayes stuff on discovery channel
