Not that I wouldnt use another make of reel Carp fishing , but I see Daiwa as the best reels out their . Good job we are all different 😎

I love my Daiwa reels always used them for all aspects of my fishing. 🙂👍

We are all different, you'd have to pay me to use a Daiwa

A friend of mine bought some expensive new shimmys with the latest QD Drag system. Awful - truly awful, there is no-where near enough adjustment between drag clicks, it goes from mid baitrunner to tight clutch with nothing inbetween, so you'd have to use your finger on the spool coz the setting just aint there - stupid idea gone too far IMO. My spod and marker are shimmy's with a QD but they have the small inner wheel for fine adjustment - so much better, best of both worlds

We tend to use a 42 inch (106cm) net over here for carp fishing. It's the pole for the net I was advising you to try. The greys one is quite stiff. The Trakker one broke on the spigot within a few outings!! Not happy about that😒

Oh yeah forgot the other rule if you're not sure how accurate you are fishing, stick a bag on it then at least you will have a spot within a spot, within a spot,spot 😁

At least if you don't use a marker no-one can tell how bad your accuracy is 😂

Likewise mate, I find with a bit of experience you can estimate the depth on the drop pretty accurately anyway. Only time I'll get the marker out is for zigs, to establish exact depth.

If I'm honest, I hardly ever use a marker float any way. I just lead about. I don't need a marker. I just use a far margin point of reference and how many wraps and Job done. As long as you are in line with said reference point and clipped up you will hit the same spot each time. Simples
