Totally agree. The show is not a fishing programme. It is 2 guys big enough to make a comedy about how they've come to terms with their health problems. It just features a bit of fishing. A really unusual concept and one you have to admire them for.

all down to washers I know you can buy a washer kit from shimano

Thanks Ian I can't find the box at the moment my garage is still a massive mess, hopefully it will turn up, I could take my reel to work though, there is quite a range of washers there hopefully I can find one that fits, I did look earlier there are no washers on it at present so that may be why it isn't working well, it seems to be loading more at both ends and less in the middle like the spool is concaved

I got sucked into audible a while ago and kept forgetting to cancel my subscription, anyway this is one I am glad I got This book is read by Paul and Bob and so far has been an excellent listen, if you liked the TV shows you will love it, I have really enjoyed listening to them rather than reading it as the character really comes across as they tell tales of the magic of fishing, which is something that seems missing a lot from the modern day scene, but it's really taken me back to being a kid and made me think about enjoying fishing like I did in the olden days, All I will say if you don't like it you are not a Fisherman 😁

It may be worth seeing if it's still on the BBC i player

Just started reading the book enjoying it so far, never got to see the program on tv.

The WHEEL has to be reinvented to make a profit.

I know the tv show has attracted criticism for not giving enough technical detail , but IMO it's so much more than a fishing program - like for me the original Top Gear wasn't really about cars , but about friendship and growing old and still having fun like a bunch of kids . 😀
