I count myself lucky they don’t bother me to much… When I don’t wear my suit.. around dusk I tuck my trousers in my socks a light weight long sleeve shirt and a Buff for my neck. I can’t remember ever using repellents

And if your not sure what go’s where take the other reel apart and you can compare 👍

Try taking the spool off and any washers etc and put them back together again sometbing may have got dislodged might be something simple hopefully.

I'm not happy, I've dropped a reel while cleaning it and it's broke something inside, reel won't even spin now 😭 ffs 🤣🤣 On a good note I just booked me and my dad onto a lake for 24 hours next weekend 😀

You need the original dry oil there is so many different skin so soft products but that is the correct one. https://avon.uk.com/products/skin-so-soft-original-dry-oil-spray i think as long as you make sure you slap what ever product you use on all uncovered parts of the skin it should be ok and be effective any bits not covered the little buzzards will find it

Avon changed the makeup of Skin So Soft, so if it does work for you, look for the original. If Skin So Soft isn't the right stuff for you, and some places I know it isn't, then Lifesystems 50 or 25 is good, just be careful with it. There is an alternative, Pyrethrin treated clothing. Might be worth a look, although I'm sure British MTP combats are already treated. Other clothing can be sprayed. My choice, with the repellant is one of these: https://ultimateangling.com/en/fishing-sleeping-bags/ultimate-night-fleece-cover

Iv owned a BP 6 and BP 4 for a couple of years and use them regularly for feeder , spinning and floater work. Had no problems with them line lay is ok and the drag is fine 👍

Picked up 2 nash BP 6 reels for £40 😀 gonna pair them up with my 9ft dwarf rods 👍 Also bought 5kg of sticky krill 👍

When I was in Turkey other week, nearly 30 Mozzi bites and a few turned painful (needed medication) last night 4 horse fly bites. I think the Skin so Soft attracts to me now.
